Default Calder the first time
It was a fun night, and a learning experiance, racing is harder than i thought,
i met Alex (FPVGT) and had a run against his beautiful XBGT, i had traction issues and didnt go as well as i may have, Alex showed me the ropes (and the back of his car ) my best time was 13.201 @ 109.60mph, i believe Alex rolled off a couple of 12.5's, im trying to upload some video, if i get it going i will post a link to the clevo tech video thread.
Nick.

Ok, the video is here:

Good stuff Nick, great to see you went out to enjoy your beast

True, drag racing is nothing like just driving in a straight line...harder than it seems! Going by your mph with a few more sessions you'll be closer to Alex's XB
