Hi Russ

I had read that you were competing. To save me Googling it, when is it? Have you run in this event before?
I know Mark Moseley was intending to run at one stage but I'm not sure how likely that is now...........

Nice to see you back on the forum by the way

Hi all had a great day at Brighton there was a fantastic range of cars and bikes of all types and ages having a go the weather was fine a bit too hot for us turbo cars !!

My first launch did not go well I have had so little time to do some decent practice
I was to busy messing around with my anti lag the first time was 15.77 rather slow !!

I waited for another run and then improved my time to 13.83 which was better but a much better time is in the car I thought I would have been having another go but in the class I was in you only do a practice and one run I really enjoyed my day but will be back again for more runs I feel a trip to Santa pod coming on to try a proper surface a few pics from the day :

















I must thank all our loyal customers that made the trip down to come and support the RT team the car had lots of attention all day and I even had a TV interview from a very nice lady who loved the car as much as me I think, I must thank Andy and James for the Built by RT Mechanics sticker a very kind thought which the Peril now wears with pride :



So a great day all round I got to drive our loan car home so went from 468 hp to 170 as it was high time my bro had a decent drive the 50 odd miles back to RT HQ which he rather enjoyed The peril did not miss a beat all day even though the bonnet was up I had not one problem in my class there were 62 cars I came 15 th so was happy with that .

Good result Russ. Well Done :thumb:

Great pics and some nice machinery. I'll have to go next year, if you can guarantee the weather

Thanks for sharing this day out Russ. I was going to comment on just beating the AX GT until I saw he had a 3 litre engine!!

The first time I tried quarter mile stuff, I thought it was going to be a doddle. How wrong can you be Practice certainly does help massively; we're running our own little drag night in a couple of weeks @ Snetterton if you fancy saying hello and bringing the Peril along.

My personal favourite out of the cars pictured has to be that Puma. It looks like a lovely level of preparation. What sort of times did it get, do you know?

well done, sounds like a decent result
another event i'd like to do
