(quote) i was a bit gutted to not make a high 12 second run because im sure its possible my best run a 13.3 was my first go and the lights changed to quick and had no revs so no launch my 60ft was over 2 seconds, the next 2 runs where a disaster as russ says ,i have clutch issues or something its like trying to change gear on a 1920's tractor or something
i managed to beat the 100mph though with a 105 so pleased with that
all good fun though and i forgot how much fun driving in a straight line is[/quote]

Trev. A pretty good time for the power the car is running.

I have done loads of 1/4's in Pulsars and you seem to only get one clean run out of about 5!
Usually gear changing issues or bogging/wheelspin due to surface/launching rev differences.

I am pretty sure you could knock a 10th or 2 off, but you will be pushing it to get a 12 sec at the Pod at your current spec. I am sure you would try though lol.

Has There ever been a bp drag event organised at the pod?

Post by **Stuart** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 10:34 pm

Not yet Russ

We had our own 1/4 mile event at Snetterton but costs at the time prevented anything being done at the Pod.

We would need sufficient numbers to justify the

Why not another Snett 1/4 mile then? That was good fun.
