Who's going Pod on the 24th? Last RWYB of the year. FWD boys? Fast Ford attending!
...and last time to set some times!
I know Luca, Crazycage and QplateRST are all planning on popping down to better their times before the year is out, who else is coming?
Especially FWD?

how manny do we need for a snapper ? should be good for the mag looks like most of the fastest ffwd's will be doing battle on the same day, would make a good read.

Got any tips Gary? Tyre pressures?
Gear change should be ok, this new box is really nice.
I stop making power at around 6k so should not be any where near the limiter hopefully, although in 2nd it gets there very quickly!

It's already looking promising, but if everyone spreads the word it'll make for a bigger and better feature!

Will be good to get a group of us together for the last RWYB of the year.
If we cant camp we can look at going to the same hotel as we do for central day?

maybe even closer to high 10s when you get it dialed in properly, we ran 11.4 with 380bhp@750kg and you have nearly 100bhp more than that.
remember you will need to rev it hard off the line, we used to launch at 6.5-7krpm

m&h 15in drag slicks, as long as your back end is pretty stiff you will be suprised how much hard you can launch off the line, low 1.7 60fts are easy
this is the 11.4run
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEaqg...eature=related
you get to the point of no return though as its been revved to 8.5krpm and its only a little 1.4 pushrod engine still on a carb
that was when it ran an 11.3
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4iVrc...eature=related
scoffs car has done 10.5 with 520bhp(in black) so only 50bhp more than luca hence maybe with time he can crack a high 10
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmtglUTX3zE
this video is to show look how important burnouts are, you really need to get these tires hot for them to stick when launching at high rpm, takes scoff a few attempts as you can see but doing this helped him get beeter pb by 0.2 of a sec on the qtr
