Course I can, will drop you a message on Facebook about 10am

Can do the same for anyone who is thinking about heading down

Yes I think I may make a trip up as well on the 30th weather pending.

I need to get some more runs in and play with start line techniques

Yeh will be going if the weather looks ok.

I'll come if weather is decent.

Probably won't be running but will do camera duties (if nobody else can).

Thanks Gibbo

Hope you guys have fun on the 30th. I was reading about the night events last night and it does sound pretty cool. Bet it's a completely different atmosphere. It's my son's birthday so I'm afraid I can't make it.

He will another at least another 70 or 80 of those

lmao, we've already arranged the day so I can't really sneak away. He's only 2 so a bit young to be joining me drag racing. Give it a few years though... he's well into his cars and runs around the front room making car noises

Presumably a lot of those are spectating or support lol

I thought exactly the same £10 for an 800px download or £20 for the raw is ridiculous

First run against @agw_01

12.8sec @ 109mph

1st run of the day. Far too much clutch slip on the launch and not the greatest gear changes.

Slip breakdown:

Reaction: 0.8584sec
60ft: 1.8498sec
330ft: 5.3932sec
1/8 ET: 8.2772sec
1/8 MPH: 84.24mph
1/4 Mile ET: 12.8021sec
1/4 Mile MPH: 109.91mph

The RaceLogic VBOX I had mounted in the car gave the below stats:

0-10mph: 0.3sec
0-20mph: 0.9sec
0-30mph: 1.4sec
0-40mph: 2.4sec
0-50mph: 3.3sec
0-60mph: 4.6sec (inc shift to 3rd)
0-70mph: 5.6sec
0-80mph: 7.2sec
0-90mph: 8.8sec
0-100mph: 10.6sec

agw_01 · 20 Sep 2017 at 11:52

haha, look at that pathetic excuse for a launch (mine

)

Good run though, would have been pretty close had I launched harder. Cheers Kosta.

ScoobyDoo69 · 20 Sep 2017 at 14:11

You'll do better next time.

Jumper118 · 20 Sep 2017 at 16:09

What setting do you guys use on the centre diff when launching?

ScoobyDoo69 · 20 Sep 2017 at 16:10

I just leave mine in auto. Got a 1.6 60ft with it before, so must be alright!

Auto.

Not sure with @agw_01, going by that video he might still be sat there waiting to launch.
