I think I'll go medium first Jim!
The plan is to have a few sensible runs to get to know the car, if I can keep my sensible head on and not get carried away.
I may need to book it in for a couple of tweaks too. I'll pop in for a chat about it sometime.

Congratulations! Reminds me of my first outing in my car at Shakey!
Once the 60 foots are there you will be running mid to low 12's easy. Any pics?

Had a great day yesterday.
5 runs, started with a gentle half pass to check things out, got quicker and faster each time.
11.77 at 122.77mph was the result. As you said Danny this thing goes!
I need to get used to the car as my gear changes were crap, two weeks time you say... maybe see you there.
