Title: MeXXspeed new record 8.733@ 255.658km/h Post by: MeXX on June 02, 2014, 07:35:49 am Hi to everyone
This weekend we raced at Bechyne (CZ). First of all I want to thank the organiser MSTO: http://www.msto.org/ Jerry Lakey and his girls and Mike Barnett for this great event giving us the chance to run this ET's As I was running Super Comp with Index 8.90 I was running lower level of nitrous than I usual do. Friday training: 9.202 @ 251.645 Saturday qualification 9.047 @ 248.205 9.025 @ 249.309 As nobody ran a better time in the 3rd qualification round and I stayed top qualifier I quited the 3rd round. Sunday final competitor stalled the engine at the tree and I did a run without nitrous. 10.158 @214.164 final run was against Gerd Habermann and I prefer loosing by breaking the Index and my own record than trying to win. 9.733@ 255.658 [attachment=1] so long MeXX Title: Re: MeXXspeed new record 8.733@ 255.658km/h Post by: richie on June 02, 2014, 07:55:01 am Awesome, forget the index and just run it flat out ;) ;D
