In the 9's

Awesome weekend with loads of help from Mark, Stevie, Gary, Craig, Martin, Matt and Mike

Tweeked the suspension and managed to drop the times from 10.5 down to 10.3 and after a few launches added a 150bhp sniff of gas to bring the time down to 9.9 @ 138mph

That was enough for this weekend I had some slow motion launches filmed to help with the set up for next time round, already have picked up several ways I think will help the car to a faster time

At the moment the launch is off the motor only and if we set the gas up from the launch rather than a delay of 2 seconds I think the 60ft's will come down from 1.4 hopefully to the 1.2 mark

Here is a couple of links for your perusal

Fuck!!
That is funny

The first video gives you no real 'drama' but seeing the others is something really shocking. The second one and the detail in the way that tyre screws up, is superb.

Cracking result buddy. I know you wanted a 9 second run, but to have achieved it so early on in the development period is great. A huge result for you and the car too.

great launches and time

in the slow mo can't believe how the tyres crinkle, how much psi about 6 lol
How nice it must be to be able to plant it off the spot!
I recon a 9.5 or 9.6 is on the cards if you bring the nos in earlier

Found the most stable was 11psi have tried variations but the car started to drift mid track so that's where we left them
