Jd managed a best of 12.86, which is great for stage 1.

What was his terminal speed compared with yours John?

How much will the torque limiters effect the terminal speeds? 

If the torque is being limited, id imagine its where peak torque is developed so maybe between 3000-4500rpm before it drops enough to not be effected by a limiter. 

So when at WOT changing gear at the redline the car wouldnt it likely be outside of the area being limited.  Just a thought, and plus sec 0-60 isnt a slow launch either lol

Turned out to be perfect weather and was nice to put a few faces to some names on here at last 

Had a nice drive up with Justin and was pretty much at the front of the queue when they opened the sprints 

Overall a little disappointed with my best time of a 14.9 and was just about catching Bendy up on one of my runs but felt like i was down on power a little  and would've been far behind with his later low 14's runs

Not sure whether by disconnecting the battery whilst have my new steering wheel and controller fitted has done something to my map, wasnt sure if it was in my head at the time, but today it wasnt pulling as hard as at inters back in June 

Definitely getting an air vent newsouth boost gauge after seeing one today and will help me keep an eye on things 

Dave

If your car has Revo software then it will have reverted to default B0 F0 T0 settings when disconnecting the battery and will affect the performance quite a bit mate.

Thanks Ron i did hear that can happen but i'm running an AMD stage 2+ map so i'm guessing they might be affected by disconnecting too  gonna give them a call to get the map checked and a boost gauge fitted while im there

Was you the guy with Justin, Dave?  J's crap at inroductions 

I was with Jussa most of the day Mike, didnt meet H4rdy but did see Alex's VRS and Hurdy and co in the sprint queue

Shouldn't be affected. It only applies to Revo.

[Tfsi_Mike]

Also effects my APR map, whereas I have to input my pincode to switch maps if the battery has been removed

What was his terminal speed compared with yours John?

His we're around 4mph slower.

Had a brilliant day. Got a few pics and made a vid of Hurdy's R.

Went down in Hurdy's car with a couple of others:





Jussa on the strip:



Can you tell which one is a diesel!  





MK6 APR GTI - think it was a Stage 3 car?



And of course a few of the R









Keith and his R turned up at the end of the day:



Keith's launch compared to John's launch:





And the video I've done of the R:

It's only the second video I've ever edited using Windows Movie Maker so it's not fantastic!

Hope to be there again next year  

(Some of the photos might not be working right now but photobucket should sort itself out)

Good day yesterday, nice to see an few familiar and new faces!

How did it go on the strip Dan?

Had a few words with Dan, he had too much power to put down, and like me he was frustrated not to get into the 12's

Dan managed a better run than the manual APR stage 3 MKVI Golf GTI that was there. He only managed a 13.8 and Dan did a 13.45, so not too bad. I thought Dan's terminals should be higher given the power he's now running. A poor wheely spinning start usually ends up with a higher terminal, or so I thought?

[Tfsi_Mike]
