Ready 8)

A Passat and a shag wagon! Cool!

-K-

If the weather stays fine it's going to be a smashing weekend. Good Luck.

Weather wasnt so kind to us >:(  we got 2 passes friday then none saturday, they did manage to run cars late on saturday but when we were 2 from front someone leaked on track bad enough that they stopped it for the day, was probably a good thing as my visor and windscreen were fogging up very quickly by then and car was covered in moisture!!!
Sunday was better but rain still slowed things down, we managed to get to semi finals then lost at i red lit!!!  They had hot lapped us as was getting so late and with only 15mins between rounds we couldnt cool car down enough and I believe clutch was just to hot from previous pass so dragged harder when I tried to hold it on brake in stage but these things happen ::)  We learnt a lot about the new suspension and now will make some changes as it has to much body roll if car gets out of shape at all, one pass was particularly wild and I had a good look at both walls before I got the chute out :o Video to come later ;D

cheers Richie

HI Richie
It was a nasty one
What was it that leaked from the car after the last run?
My friend (Michael Nord) said there was so much grip so they had problems with the chassis
/// Micke

No s### , I nearly had a bloody heart attack watching  ;D ;D

Just burped from breather from running 2 passes so close together and not being allowed enough time to cool engine down properly!!!  Track was really sticky 1st 100ft but not so sure after that

Me too! Commentators seemed quite amazed at an 11 second run at 45mph...

Thanks to eurodragster for this picture :o and allowing me to use it 8)

Some skill & some luck ;)  I think it was a PB for Pete driving car to track but he has run 10s with it towing to track

In car video :o

Looks even more scary in car than it did from the stands :o
Do you shift gears via steering wheel?

Lee

Yes, that‘s what I meant- PB for Street modus.

Shake, rattle and roll! Looks rather dramatic in the slo-mo.

It is amazing that you found the chute button while correcting like that.

Also amazing that you never push it by accident  :)

hairy!

I have :o >:( :D

Ho Lee Fuck that looked amazing in the slow Mo and super scary!!

How are you shifting Richie?
Air or someuch or is the ECU popping it in??

Weirdly at the speeds you seem to be running the run itself looks 'slow' by that I mean there is so much prelim going on that the run is a 'burp' in the middle  ;D
