My times were worse than last year :surprised:
i just couldnt get off the line, and the one time I got a perfect launch, the times didnt show up :fighting: I got a free run, but made a mess of it again.
My best times were a 5.67/14.02 My Vreds are on the wear indicators, so might have mnade a slight difference along with the head wind.
I have a few iphone vids of the smoking porsche, and a couple of TTrs' but dont know how to up them

Thanks for the launch tips Ben, worked on the result that never was :sad1:

Believe it or not, I've got a burnt head and neck off today, so much for the poor weather :ashamed:
And hello to Monte, put a name to a face, there wasnt anyone else on the mk5golfgti stand when I parked my car there

I think your car is moonlighting at the minute Sy on the VW racing stand, alongs with Keiths 'R'

I wouldn't necessarily say car is quicker, but I'll hand you the drivers title :notworthy:
Bad tyres and inters doesn't compare to Santa pod though sy :wink:
Think I'll stay away from the sprint next year :sad1:

id say conti 2 tyres on the wear markers  misfires and dsg issues cancel out any advantage.

Without the massive headwind I reckon I would have broken the 4 second barrier and got low 12's for the quarter  :jumpmove:

Good times jussa

Looking forward to doing a few runs tomorrow.

I already have sprint tickets, can I just drive up and do a run or will I need to sign on first?

Great to see some old faces today  :happy2:  turned out a nice day apart from the head wind.

My usual Ham Fisted Oaf technique proved to much with 3 degrees of camber on the front, but I cracked it on the 4th run.

Well pleased to get under 13 sec and 4.63 to 60 in the old Golf  :smiley:
