He didn't run.

....I love watching it but have no plans to ever run. I used to do amateur Time Trials (bicycle) and so I'm very familiar with the bug! It's not actually all about beating everyone else but more about constantly trying to improve your own PB (Personal Best) time. This thread with the wonderful enthusiasm of previously virgin dragstrippers is absolute proof of how the addiction gets hold of you!!
Sorry I had to leave without saying a proper farewell to many and to miss the group pic.
Should all be much easier in better weather.
:drinking: :happy2:

Reaction :- 0.94
60ft :- 2.71
1/8 :- 10.53
1/4 :- 15.59
NOT BAD AT ALL considering Nadine has never been near a track, never had a performance car etc etc - well chuffed fro her - her time sheets are her pride and joy at the moment !!!
Thanks to everyone,
Gareth

....Sounds as if Nadine is going to be encouraging you to go to more quarter-mile events! There's one at the GTI International Show in June.

digging into this I found some interesting data (which like dyno numbers can be interpreted but its fun anyway)
http://www.letstorquebhp.com
1/4 1/4 Terminal mph
Volkswagen Golf Gti 2.0 (mk5) 15.32 92.81
Volkswagen Golf Gti 2.0 (mk5) Edition 30 14.49 98.48
I also checked out jonny c (hope you dont mind jonny) previous numbers as he KNOWS how much his car weighs
Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 360
Weight without Driver (KG) : 1310
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 279.22
0 - 60 (Secs) : 4.58
0 - 100 (Secs) : 9.97
60 - 100 (Secs) : 5.39
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.82
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 113.39
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 12.62
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 115.46
time is lower but mph is also lower indicating (to me at least) that you have more than 360hp jonny :scared:
So yes you have more to come! incredible. :happy2: for a FWD car that is just silly :evilgrin:
