No racing for me this year but it'd be nice to see what times everyone else was running.

only a tad improvement for me mick, 12.28 at 108mph with a 1.68 60ft seemed to go just a tad quicker each run, didnt bother running today as weather forcast looked pretty grim !

108mph-13.8et
Probably the slowest 60' all weekend, but still a new PB.

About 10 minutes from start to 1/4 mile was a new personal best after 10 pints and some JD

60ft was crap... car running too warm but but still impressed as only managed 13.65 last year

Ran a new pb of 14.1/95.6
60 foot was 2.03.
My last 4runs were all within a few hundredths
so it was very consistent-shame I didn't
Get into 13s
Not bad for a 318 on the column I suppose.

After the re-map on the Vette I was sure it would have better 60ft times as it feels like it has tons of low rpm torque now.
But the traction control was activating more and my 60ft time was actually increased slightly on last year from 2.059 to a slightly slower 2.073.
But all the other points on the track were up slightly so it is making a little more power. Result was a 13.39 @ 104.32mph which is 0.11 better ET and 1.44mph from last year.
So not a huge difference there but the fuel economy has incressed by a couple of MPG too and it "feels" better to drive so fair enough I suppose!
I did try a run without the traction control on and it was slower than last year. Some better rear tyres would help I am sure. Mine have gone hard as a rock.
Oh and it got me the 250 miles home in 3 hours flat.

A lack lustre 14.2 with a 60ft of 2.0 was my best, bit of a backward leap, but there again I was using road tyres designed for a Suzuki Vitara
Made it back to Cornwall in a little over 5hrs, which included a couple of stops, strangely enough the Vitara tyres are superb on the road

Hi
13.08 was highest last year , had carb sorted got 49 bhp more, had trouble off line never had that before so new problem for me 😱took advice dropped pressures to 10 Friday sooo hot did huge burn out got 13.3 so not as good but I did not get much practice as quite long waits nearly 6 hours waiting Saturday got 3 runs in my 60ft need to come down to 1.8 but doing 1.9 at moment so need to launch better really
Terminal speed dropped Sunday from 100 to 98 so work to be done really
Still chasing that 12 I'll try at hrd fingers crossed
Sorry about the essay bet you wished you never asked !!!! 😃
