Title: Re: shakey on saturday Post by: Steve G on September 29, 2010, 22:33:11 pm 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. Title: Re: shakey on saturday Post by: dannyboy on September 29, 2010, 22:48:59 pm cool , keep your sensible head on or i will be well in your rear view mirror ;D

Title: Re: shakey on saturday Post by: dannyboy on October 02, 2010, 22:43:05 pm great day good to meet you steve and man that thing goes :o
managed a pb on my first ever run in the car of 13.09 at 105mph with a 2.1 sec 60ft so very pleased then went on to miss second a few times last run ran a 13.04 at 105.5 so a bloody good day had by me ;D i was using a very worn set of tires i had fitted after one of my slicks blew up on the dyno on friday so could not get any traction but had a blast 8) Title: Re: shakey on saturday Post by: leec on October 03, 2010, 08:37:08 am 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? Lee Title: Re: shakey on saturday Post by: Jim Smith on October 03, 2010, 12:45:05 pm Congrats Dannyboy!
Title: Re: shakey on saturday Post by: Steve G on October 03, 2010, 17:03:21 pm 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. Title: Re: shakey on saturday Post by: Jim Smith on October 03, 2010, 17:28:18 pm well done steve too! Give me a bell if you want to pop in for a chat?
Title: Re: shakey on saturday Post by: dannyboy on October 03, 2010, 18:36:29 pm got some slicks for the 16th so hopefully get into the 12s ;D i cant belive the difference in driving my old looker with the 120 cam and a lighter racecar with a fk87 and bigger cr the thing just wants to rev and pull 8) :o ;D
