well done bernie  gutted i wasn't there to see it  :)

Why was I at Legoland instead ???
Well Done Bernie

 ;D ;D another PB fantastic well done

Well done Bernie, that's a big step up  8) hopefully even better day today for you  :) 8)

cheers Richie

The older he gets the faster he goes ;D

How much faster does he need to go to be the fastest non turbo floorpan car?

Nice number

Well done

UK, Europe or World?

Am sure Uk he is, can only think of Russ who has gone quicker in pan over here, think he is in Europe as well, world not so sure, can't think of anyone right now, but got to be right up there if not 8)


cheers Richie

 I'm thinking world.

Spray?

Yes



Will think about it some more but still can't think of anyone quicker in a pan car 8)  am sure someone will pipe in if I am wrong  ::) ;)

Thanks,

If spray then the only correct thing is to compare it to turbo cars. Skinne and Håkan is the first two that I can think of. 8.02 - 288 kph pan car, H pattern gear box.

Kalle I think you must have missed this part?  :o ;) 


They are not comparing it to anything different,  just what it actually is, I think everyone knows how quick Skinne's car went and how they did it 8)

Well done , good work and congrats  :)

Just seen this. Thank you for the words. It would be interesting to know the answer to the question to see if it is something that is possible to aim for.

My question wasn't really about what is correct, it isn't about being listed or recognised on a particular list or table, but, as Richie said, the simple question of are there any faster floorpan, non turbo cars out there.

Regardless this is (like the Hakan and Skinne cars) a staggering achievement.

Sorry guys and congrats to Bernie on the new ET.

-BB-

No apology needed, I should have explained it better. 

Gutted I was there and missed it-----that's what you get for being crew chief.

I didn't.  I was in the next lane and Bernie disappeared fast!

I didn't either!

Loads of PBs didn't realise you got a PB too Dave nice one, good to meet you at the weekend, think I called you Ben, sorry bout that must of been the heat :)

no problem, it was a good weekend loads of track time and PBs

Well done Bernie - and in a car that is super detailed and every time I've seen it, really well presented and clean.
(Or is that down to your crew  :D)

On the subject of quick pan/nitrous cars, I might be totally wrong so don't shoot me down,  how about Kris Lauffers red vert ?

Thanks
Darren

Glad I managed to see it. My jaw hit the floor when I saw the run! A huge well done, an outstanding achievement. 9.5 in a N/A floorpan bug!- WOW  ;D

Not N/A. Nitrous! Big difference. Enough said.

Sorry yeah, still 9.5 & throttle in a bottle ;D

party pooper! ;D

well done with bottle or not.
9,5 is damn fast.

henk!!!

139mph I think too!  :o

Ok here you go then Bernie/Mark , your target is Roger Crawford 9.08@146mph in his ghia, next is Jeff rogers, 9.358@145.12mph, see here for details on that  http://www.badbugracing.com/

I cant think of any other quicker pan car than that, time to turn it up ;D

cheers Richie

Yup well done Bernie!!

I was at the top end having just run my Fiat to a pb (for that car) and saw the run and the'old guy' jumping around like a teenager when he heard the news!!

He said he thought it was a good run as it made his back hurt on the launch...always a good sign ya 60ft is good!!  ;D

I think Dave in the 600 ran a pb 1st  pass too......11.44@129? on radials!!......we all went backwards then all weekend but had some good track time to 'try a few things'....

Bernie ran loads of 9.7s and a 9.6 I think and thought they all felt slow!!.... ::)

Glad I was there at the top end to share it with him.....it's a great place to be....

Looking forward to the next 'time'

Ian

Thanks Richie,

Just curious, is the Crawford Ghia actually a real pan car?

-BB-

Yes, it's Super Street class-legal, which mean full pan...

define a pan car?  ;)  

Its real enough as in rear is torsion housing, spring plate, torsion bars, normal shocks[ not coil overs] beam front end, it has stock vw style pans in the stock location, not sure how they are attached, never looked really closely, complies to all the Super street rules for a pan car in BRS competition, lots of cage and tubes help stiffen it up

cheers Richie    

You've just dusted off a 'Busa, ZX14 and a S1RR with an old funny looking 4 cyl.

Have you thought about making a few bucks on a Friday night?  ;D

Shite that's quick!

Shall we just go for the 9.35 first  ;)

yep more gas next time bernie

Agreed, good place to start ;D 8)

cheers Richie

That is of course after I have rebuilt my carbs with both accelerator pumps jammed and 3 bent butter fly's.  Told it didn't feel right Ritchie :)
 

Wow excellent Bernie you must be made up.
