Had a great day on Saturday, Thanks very much for the hospitality and burgers. You could set up professionally with that .
Nice to speak to a few people off the forum.
Spent most of my time messing around on the quarter mile.
Fastest time of the day 13.35s at 104.8mph , A slight improvement on my best quarter mile time. Unfortunately I don't think the strip there is as quick as Santa Pod but everybody has the same issues.
Had a few people asking me about the car, the old man in the diesel estate wasn't really supposed to be going that fast.
At least the guy in the 4.2 v8 S5 thought that, ran against him twice and beat him twice. A few S3's and various other cars. Only got beaten twice once by a very quick Golf R32 who was ran a 12.5 121 mph time and myself when I missed the gear change 2nd to 3rd and found 5th so just carried on in that gear, I should have won that one.
I thought I had a chance of getting fastest diesel of the day and my name did get called at the trophy ceremony, unfortunately they called for 1st and 2nd fastest people
and I was second fastest diesel on Saturday.
The quickest was Michael Till in a MK2 Golf Synchro with a 2.0 BLT Fabia engine, hybrid turbo and a 200bhp shot of NOS. He was about 0.3s quicker than me probably due mainly to the fact he was about 350kg lighter than me.
I have added some pictures, videos and stuff on my build thread.
