It took me till 3pm to get a third run in, as Scott has said, it did take a wee while to get round

I kept getting put against the same cars, and when you are racing against yourself and only getting slower, it's time to call it a day.
Besides, I need it for work tomorrow and for the rest of the week, I'd had my playtime.
I'll be taking a BBQ in June, so they'll be no q's for the bloody burger bar!

Bloody good whatever though. What did you get at Santa Pod as a comparison.

tbh I think the terminal speeds were actually slow I think it was more like 120mph -most people were saying their times and terminal speeds were down.
Just 1st and 2nd couldn't put the power down
I recon I was running 350+bhp and its around 1100kg

350+ with 1100kgs

Fair play! I'll keep an eye out for you when we bump into each other on the track then

Bloody hell Scott.

What boost were you running to achieve 117-120mph terminal?????

You were slower than me on the straights at Snetterton and highest terminal speed i've ever run in the 1/4mile is 104mph.

If you can get to a point where you can use high boost on the straights at trackdays your car will be a monster....

about 2psi more boost still only 17psi plus I got rid of the misfire issue and used a 50shot of nos :twisted: but the tyres couldn't take this lol

I was running higher terminals than the noble m400 that was running
