they would of extended it then by adding approximately 15mm. it probably will just need resetting as i doubt cossvaux would of extended it wrong

that buggy thing if i remeber it from last year has a cbr400 engine in it so it will be alot faster off the line but if i remeber it has a really bad traction problem and the guy cant drive it for shit!!!!
if it was set up right it could do at least 13`s !!

Anybody (other than Broster) see my fabulous runs? Really wanted a Pic of me on the line but dont suppose anybody took one? Oh and if anybody did catch my first run - no I dont have six gears I just spun up like crazy in first and had to come off and go back on the gas again People were telling me to run my tyres a bit flatter - how flat? I let a bit out without a gauge so guessed but when I got home they were still on like 30psi LOL.
TBH today wasnt a day for practice - when your sat in a que for over an hour between runs, on your own it aint fun  - £25 for two runs in like 3 hours is crap - and they didnt even start until like 10:50, I got there at 9:30!

haha - At what was written on brosters car. Weird how everyone was getting such slow times - is it the weather you think? i.e. cold, damp track = wheel spin?

LOL, no dont think it was damp - im just a shit virgin dragger 
You see my reaction time - it was shocking!! Soo need practice. Got to the other end on my first run and thought now where the fook do I go
There were some serious machines there. On the way I must have passed a convoy of 15/20 tuned up Skylines - that was a sight LOL. Also LMAO at the car that was on the Northbound carrageway of the M1 J18ish at about 9 0 - it was a raging inferno

eh? Thought the clock started ticking from the moment the green light comes on? Reation time is how long it takes you to pull off the line from the green light - no? With a better reaction time you run a quicker quater mile - no? Im confused

indeed.. and apparently, if my reaction time was recorded in proper dragracing, my run would have been void.. tis the rules apparently..
gonna be saving my pennies now to get my car checked out, i have a feeling the wastegate may be at fault as it feels all wobbly

Just got back, i managed a 15.4 @ 93.1 mph on my last run, stayed till it was just going dark.
Was really struggling for grip, only using half throttle in 1st gear, then planting it for 2nd and i could still hear it trying to spin.
Beat a punto GT and that scrapheap challenge buggy thing and Daimo in some random Golf TDi
spoke to Lee m and daimo and saw Paul w, broster and JayCarr, you parked next to me near the sign on office, would of said hi but didnt know you were off here

So I was truly crap then
I'll be back late in the summer with more mods and less weight me thinks Also better technique at launch - i.e less spin.
