Default Wish I could stop thinking about 1/4 mile times etc etc

I think I have a new addiction.

First attempt on the 9 Jan at WSID, with 3 runs, managed a 13.779/107.41MPH, 2.263 60'.

Second attempt on the 20 Feb at WSID, with 6 runs, shared with Quadcams, I managed a 13.279/107.69MPH, 2.104 60', which I was pretty pleased with.

Car went well on street tyres.

Hoping to get into the 12's with the same set up, next time very soon.

Now thinking new shift, CV's and sticky tyres, what can you do?

Well done mate,

At least one of your runs you got 110mph trap speed with your current setup.

Post up here prior to going out next time.

Ahh, you made me laugh when I read this. Addictive it is yes.

Mate with a ripshifter, better c/v's and some good tyres you will get well into the 12's no worries.
