He should be well pleased all the same, track was not brilliant so he worked wonders, good on him

Yep, doesn't suprise me at all on the 60's, mph will always go up some, track condition can always be a trade off for good air, not easy to get both, still, a good way to end 2014 as Pete says.

Good show Mick, yes it was a nice cold day out.

I only got one good launch all weekend, just after they glued the track for a blown altered, shame i over revved it in second and nosed the car over as it would have been my best run but it was still a 10.16 at 131.58 with a 1.36 60 ft.

Well you were always up a bit on your 60's Mick, but a 1.36!!!!.....thats 9.8 territory ...nice one though. that would've deffo been a 10.0?....change anything on the car?

Les

I knocked 4 off the extension because i thought the track might not be good, tyres were 14.5 psi. With hindsight i should have dropped the tyres to 13 psi after it started spinning but i just kept adjusting the shocks. Doh !
I knew it was a good launch because it's the first time i could only see the bonnet and not the track. Lol

Yes we all make errors sometimes, thats the BIG mistake I made with the '69 on the same issue but the other way around, hurt my 60's and lost prob a 1/10th+ in ET, but thats water under the bridge now.......1.36 is impressive with SS springs and no brake!!, just goes to show what can be acheived on a good track, but it has to take a big hitter for them to prepare it well though, doesn't matter for the sportsman racer, thats why sanctioned meets are better to run at, you should try it Mick...shouldn't have a prob with Tech?
