....I expect he'll post when he's next here. I don't think those who might know his time want to inadvertantly post it up wrong.

Apparently it wasn't a day for good times for anyone.

KRL:
Indeed the surface was very slippy, would have got better times using the car park tarmac  :signLOL:

Was great to see everyone today..! Robin, glad I could be of help..  :smiley:

Apart from that it was a total waste of time in my opinion.. The track was a joke.. Really.. I can't believe we had to pay to drive on that?!

Last night I was able to put 100% of the power down in 2nd gear on a dry road, yet at the 'glued' track today the car was lighting up the tyres in 4th gear!! Hell.. It didn't even do that in the wet driving back home tonight..

What really got me though was the dusty service road which you had to use to drive back from the strip to the pits I could also plant the power down in 2nd gear.. Maybes they mistook the 'glue' for baby oil!? Who knows.. I blame the man with no teeth

Consequently all I managed was a pretty disappointing 12.91 @ 119mph..

The terminal speed was promising though.. Faster than a 997 turbo which was running around 113 - 115mph and a new R35 GTR which was about the same, both of which had plenty of runs.. So at least I know she's got plenty of grunt!! With a decent track im now really confident of a mid 11 second run..

Oh well.. I certainly wont be visiting Santa Pod again after today.. My next day will be at York Raceway.. 150 miles closer and hopefully at least as much grip as the bloody public road!!
