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:






Neil,
I was stood next the start when you did your fastest run.
Was quite interested to see your technique off the line in a tuned Ed30, as lots of cars were spinning their boots, especially the older stuff.
It seemed from the outside to be quite 'Driving Miss Daisy' and quite gentle in the initial phase, then once hooked up it just shot away, with a pleasing sound of gears going home with the DSG not interupting the flow of acceleration. Good job man.

That GTR looked rather rapido.
Mark

Bit of a sad day for GTI International with the accident on the 1/4 Sprint today. A Mk1 Leon with snap off steering wheel had a failure of some form and lost the steering wheel towards the end of the run, causing the car to cross the other lane and crash through the barrier into the crowd.

I hope the two people taken to Hospital are OK.  :sad1:

Just heard about this. :sad1:  Could have been anyone of you stood there as well.  Scary stuff.  I guess there will be some much sturdier barriers etc next year then.

Did JCs TTRS manage a run in the end?

Thoughts out to those injured.

Never got down the strip myself but certainly wasn't expecting them to reopen it after what happened!

I didn't see it, and I don't want to see it - so I hope any ghouls who stick up the inevitable 'tube links are told to remove it.

My times:

4.08 0-60 / 12.36 1/4 - Porsche Carrera 997.2 PDK - 345hp and bog standard.

Traction and headwind issues my arse  :wink:

Think the GTR was my mates, Mike, he did a 2.99 0-60 & an 11.18 1/4  :rolleye:

Yes Mark, I was as surprised as any one to get those times  :laugh:

I was nailing it off the line in the first few runs but couldn't get traction. I thought the Miss Daisy technique dont look great, but once I got it rolling it picked up OK   :happy2:


Hope those injured will be OK.

Did jonny Cs TT perform as expected.

@jussa good times mate. You should have had a run with APRs Golf R. Would have been an interesting test
