It is rumoured that Paul Applin was amongst the people helping the Police with their enquiries. (There but for the grace of God..............)

___________________________________________________

After a sluggish response to the proposed day, we managed to gather near 20 cars for the days events. Still way down on the numbers we would have liked but good all the same.

Liam with his gorgeous S2000 opened precedings. A fantastic howl filled the workshop as it burst through the V-tec barrier for the first few times. His car didn't make factory figures as few seem to, but at least you know that any figure produced on APT's rollers are hard won. Better conservative than inflated in my opinion.

The big hitter of the day was, predictably, Mark Moseley and his very impressive R32. Even at low boost and running VPower, the car managed to hit over 700 at the pub and nigh on 600 at the wheels!!

Scott/Drifter made some great numbers, as did Matt with the R34. Jason/Sidewaysfletch 325i produced a rude 181 at the pub and that made me feel a lot better. I was unable to close the gap at Snetterton. Now I know why :)

Bryans/V8 Eater's R32 showed huge potential. The guys at APT reckon that 600 at the pub, may be possible. Bloody fantastic considering the purchase price.

I have skipped loads of cars, for that I apologise. I don't have the figures yet and took zero photos. It was one of the best social events we've had in recent months with great support for the runners and riders. Great to see the die hard guys there and great to meet some new faces too.

Well done to Mark Mosely and a big thanks to Gary, Christian and Chris of APT for their professional and helpful attitude throughout.

Top stuff fellas :thumb:

Thanks for your support guys.

I have all the runs as JPeg's, except Liam's (which I will arrange), these will be posted as soon as I get to resize and host them.

Sorry to those that didn't get graphs. Gary told me to skimp as we wanted to save ink/paper. :lol:

Thanks for a top day despite the weather, was good to catch up with some people and to find out if my car was still running okay :D It didn't set the world on fire with its figures but seems to be down 0.1 bar on boost so that may explain the lower torque figure than normal....will have to investigate that further, need all the help I can get with the Sprints :!:

Logan, you will often find that on dyno's that boost isnt as high as the real world but as you say it is great to see it running well and safe and showing good power.
