I was heading home from the meet last night, taking it easy ish and a car started to flash me, thought hmmmmm whos that...so slowed do to about 60 for them to catch up.....low and behold a 172 cup over took me, then it slowed down and let me over take aproaching a roundabout (should had stopped at the round about for a standing start battle.......

But, I love that roundabout lol...went into it in 3rd with the cup about 3-4 car lengths behind me, it was well behind after the roundabout and it wasn't catching me went up to about 140mph and thought thats a bit to fast for this road and slowed down lol thought it was Chris n' nic from the meet? If it was were you trying? lol

Then a few juctions down, "whats this a brand new white Mk5 Golf GTi mwhahaha" it was just setting of from a red light, I was doing about 5mph as I was braking for the red light, so I banged it in 1st :shock: must have got him abit of guard tbh....but he gave it ago, The hybrid pulled on him in 1st 2nd and 3rd, enough for me to pull in, in front of him. seemed a bit to easy really?

Sorry m8...wasn`t me I`m afraid....I wondered on your other post when you said we had a play on the way home...was only me, monkey and northy (and some slow mk1 172)
Sounds good tho m8, wouldn`t have minded a few more blasts but the police car race was a little too close for comfort!

@ King. Of course m8..brain removed complete to aid weight! :P

so Chris, in your experience, is it an advantage to take a dump before quarter mile'ing to aid terminals?

Here is some cup lingo only cup drivers know:

Doing a 'Duglaz' - having body parts removed to save weight (after Douglas Barder)

Yozzing - Putting you car in the same ditch twice in a week

Fuming - A tricky technique that allows only fuel vapours into the tank when filling at a service station (again to save weight)

Atkinsing - Crash diet before quarter miling

Foaming - Changing a flat tyre

I looked up lift off oversteer in the 'Cup' dictionary too, but it just said 'see normal driving'



:wink:
