With a bloody slippery track we had mostly aborted & pedalled passes which still resulted in either limpmode for the zf or 136mph consistantly. I did one run at the end of the night where I decided to flick the eboost to a higher setting at the top of 3rd (no mean feat while ya pedalling lol) and bam 142.5mph. Theres alot left in it but with limpmode & traction are at there limit. I forgot to add so much thanks to my good mate Jamie @ Forced Performance all this isnt possible without his endless dedication & amazing talent. To add to this I drove the car an hour & half to the track a 2min tyre change & straight on the track & then back home again. All full weight with spare tyre, jack & all We're goin back out saturday just because we can, the marshalls didnt pull us up so win & hopefully with the earlier start there will still be heat in the track. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excellent achievement & milestone.2nd half track is a bit boring when you don't have grunt, but very rewarding when you do.Brian 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The times are still abit ordinary as you would expect with the state of the track & still having to find a way to drive around/with wheelspin & limpmode. It ran a 11.1 on the 142.5 run, was good fun but it took some pedalling & wheel bashing to get it to the other end lol. Cant wait for saturday, I learnt alot from it last night so will try & put it together for one clean run. if it does a 10.99 @ 140 plus mph & I get booted im more than happy with that No hooking up due to a bloody ordinary track last night & I cant really get quite enough heat in the tyres because I think it needs a vaccume tank so I can stand on the brakes. no vct & cams = vaccume.
