Hey guys,

Yeh, I think all 4 were firing up but thats how I like it! If I dont get some spin then it bogs down too much. It was working until they mopped the track and then nothing span (eek!) and it just stunk! thats when I had to bow out!

What did you think of the track you seem to be there a lot did it feel slippy to you ( I know you have 4wd drive FTW etc but how did it compare)?

it was definately the slippiest Iv had it, Iv never had it when Iv literally sat on the line squirming to get away! You could see it on the track too. you FWD boys had slim to no chance of getting decent take offs.

need to dig out my old time slips, Id like to think my reaction times had gone down too.

....Your words are music to my ears. My first ever time of 14.8 now suddenly seems more respectable, as was Jonny's time in my car of 14.0.  :pomppomp:

I think mid to high 13's in yours Robin no probs.. Even on that run I wasn't flat til half way through 2nd gear..

With S2+ and pump mid to low 13's.. You have everything there really..

Oh god! I really need to stop listening to all you guys. I've only driven 3 runs in one session (yesterday). This is why I resisted the quarter-mile for so long. Help!!!! Let me out of here! Ban me!
