    times from RTOC Santa Pod day...

    arrived having never done a 1/4 mile run in my life before and did a 15.49...

    then stripped out the rear seats, parcel shelf etc. and then got times down in the 15.2's to 15.3's...

    best run of the day was a 15.09, terminal speed of 90.86 mph which I don't think is too bad for a standard car....

    quite addictive fun I must confess...!

    BTW, Coops did a 12.52...!!

    well as said mate, the terminal is strong at 117, and i squeaked a 118.4 on one run as well, so thats 11's territory. just need to get some slicks and get the pathetic 60ft (2.14 was the best and that wasnt on the best run either) down a bit, if i can eliminate the wheelspin even in second it would be a massive improvement, cut 60ft down to 1.8 of something, laughing! :D
