Who was the clio who got himself a new anus ripped by a silver Ibiza TDI 2nd time round (1st time he tried a 2nd gear start, hence why you beat him)
None
I was there running on the 31st but that was monday not sunday, the only other clio running on the monday was a stripped out roll caged williams which was getting runs a whole two seconds better than me.....and everyone else in my class 
My FF182 was getting 15.9 at best which was the same as a carlton gsi and a stripped out pug 205 gti.
brilliant fun though, i would recommend it to anyone and it doesn't really matter about times either,when you are sat there with a crash helmet on and a few hundred people watching then times are the last thing on your mind, one guy was running his standard bettle and getting 21 second runs

^^^Glad you enjoyed it fella! Now that you have managed a 15.9 you have set yourself a target to beat next time you go. After all, it's not about who/what you are racing against, it's against the clock!

^^^What times did you run?
None
Cheers mate, one area i could definately improve on is reaction time, over five runs i got a 1.2 second reaction time....not good!
I'm having a sports cat fitted soon and i'll put a panel filter in so maybe when i run in october i might get a little of the time, the 15.9 was a one off, my other times were in the 16.2's mainly

Don't worry about your reaction times fella...they don't add to your overall so just concentrate on getting your launch right...no aircon or tractin control on I assume?

^^^Top tip from me doing the 1/4 mile at Crail.........go when the light is amber! I'm sure you will get that time down next time you are on the 1/4 mile.
Wasn't me, it's a mate of mine. He ran a 14.1 on the run before the first run against the clio.

Funny you should mention that
the first run i forgot to turn traction control off and the launch was a disaster....hence 16.9 seconds, i remembered after that
None
dunno if anyone saw me on the monday but i was running in my white AX
managed a personal best too of 14.5 so i was well happy
Yeah i saw you mate
, your's has the spoiler on the top of the back window right?......if so i think i got one or two of your runs on camcorder, my mate was there filming for me.Yeah i saw you mate

None

I managed a 15.01 in my 172 a couple months ago at york, when it was running 162.9bhp. Keep trying, im sure you can beat a 15.9!

Thought you were running 14.1? Sure you weren't reading my times off the slip?
