my first run of the day....
launched at about 2k and fried my clutch.

14.7 seconds at 80mph.. woop!! lol

so had 2 just start rolling normally, then floor it once going. still got clutch slip but managed to get 12.95, 12.98 and some low 13s
one run i just rolled over the line as the clutch was slippin that bad and still got a 13.8. lol


on the way there i did have the clutch slip once in 5th gear which worried me.
on way home i couldnt even put my foot down at all, in any gear, else it just slipped. got a new clutch sat at home waiting to go in but its a huge expensive job so not having it done just yet.

Oh and yeah they put the prices up last year to 25 to run...scandalous! imo

Guy's vx hit 2x 12.9sec at 112mph, but his clutch was dieing so no burnout to warm tires, and a rolling start. Guy will probably fill you in on what the Scirrocco was hitting, i was hungover all day and wasnt taking much notice! haha (just had 2 hours sleep now). There was a mini + beatle shootout, some of them things were stupidly fast... i am sure i herd a few 10's mentioned.

christian ream, yes they organise the cars into category's, like 2lt engines, 2lt with turbo or nitrous (i dont know exactly how they work the category's out but its something like that!), 4wd. Its £10 to get in, and £25 to sign on for unlimited runs.

i'll post full timing details tomorrow when am at home. i said before i left i was hoping for 12s.. after i did that first run i thought if i launch it easy.. high 13s was gonna be achieveable. but managed to dip into the 12s twice so was chuffed with that.

got a 2.1/2.2 ish i think which cant be very good for a rwd car as i wasnt launching at all

i was there yesterday too. the track surface was terrible for launching! i was on semi slicks and couldnt get better than a 2.3 60ft!!

What power you running now mate....yours really has some pull over the last 1/8 looking at that....those are fwd 60 ft times I think most would be aiming for a 1.9 or so in a powerful rwd.

its 259bhp

but more importantly 270lbft of torque! and the torque curve is pretty flat

yeah i thought 2.2 was a typical good fwd launch, i had to basically roll it as if i was driving normally at normal rpm then get past the wee bit of lag and then go for it. (sure if anyone else was spectacting they can vouch for my granny launches ;))

got a clutch and billet flywheel sat here waiting to be fitted but gonna get it done at the same time as my chargecooler which is on order.

hoping for an 11 later on in the year with some r888's (due to arrive next week) and 295ishbhp/300+lbft??

fastest of the day was a 13.6 which is unbelievable that was the cars slowest time on road tyres, slippin clutch and only 1bar of boost at pod!!
All the starlet drivers got called into the tower coz they knew we werent happy with track etc etc.
Were going Shakespeare on 21st April hopefully break into the twelves fastest run so far was 13.4 at pod again on road tyres and 1bar of boost, now on semi slicks at front and 1.6 bar!
Will try upload vids tonight (it is your fastest time im sure) didnt get chance last night.

Just mashed together some figures to get close to your 1/4 time....if I put in the actual figures you should be doing 12.5

Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 243.85
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.71
0 - 100 (Secs) : 10.69
60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.98
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.95
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 110.05
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.85
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 111.29

ah... just put the figures in that calculator. see what youve done there. pretty close using actual figures anyway!

my cars 930kg (heavy turbo engine)


Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 282.97
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.24
0 - 100 (Secs) : 10.43
60 - 100 (Secs) : 6.19
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.58
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 109.82
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.48
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 111.11


i thought if i could launch right i woulda been 12.5's so seems about right!
