Just thought I would post my 1/4 mile time from GTI Inters at Shakespeare Country Raceway on Saturday at 14:15. It was a good day, I met a few of the forum users and had a lovely cheese burger courtesy of ASN at the stand. Thank you!!
I wish I could've stayed for longer as it turned into a nice day but unfortunately I had to leave to go over to Lincolnshire as we were going to visit friends and stay overnight.
I was in two minds whether to run or not as my car was weighed down with bags of clothes, shoes and hair appliances (blame the girl I was with) as well as some presents. I watched others run and then thought why not. I went down to register and got in my car and queued. I was a bit nervous as this is my first ever 1/4 mile run in the S3 and I was worried about something breaking.
I approached the start line and looked across and realised I was going up against a blue RS6.
The lights changed but the marshalls started flagging because matey next to me had crept over the line. This distracted me but my light was green so I went for it!!
My times are below.
Reaction - 1.70032
60 - 2.198
330 - 5.655
660 - 8.53196
MPH1 - 85.30
990 - 10.953
1320 - 13.13676
MPH2 - 106.93
I loved it, it was a great feeling and the car held out. I will be doing it again but not too often, maybe 3 per year max.
I was happy with my time as I was carrying a lot of extra weight, it would've been good to do more runs and compare to some of the other S3s but time was against me and I had to leave.
