I have got some picks of it wih the wheels up but I can't down load them yet I hop this gives you an idea

Here's a little on our weekend. I decided to make the most of the track time we had at the big bang. We arrived at 3am Friday morning and got our heads down outside the main gates. (Which muppet left there alarm set for 6) We were in setup and ready to play by 11. We had the company of team member, good friend and neighbour Russ Walker running his VW scirroco in VW sportsman. First pass a gentle 11.0 no gas but a complete gearbox. Turned the gas on as this was a rwyb track I turned everything down but as the nitrous was coming up to full power (300 jets) we lost all power so I shut everything off and cruised back. Next run same again. But this time I watched the max and it was shutting the system down due to only getting 6 volts. (Safety feature) Checked everything only found a loose batt term on the alternator.( fitted a new one)still the same. So I bypassed the extreme and blew a fuse. Now we’re getting somewhere. fuse changed and a new relay fitted off we go. But after speaking to Trev we turned down to 80% It worked. Next step a full pass. 20% on the hit with 3.5 build time both wheels off the ground but as it came down it unloaded the rear wheels big tyre shake(3 chipped teeth)a couple of big peddles 9.7 @ 149 well happy. Backed up with 9.66 @ 146 now we have another problem how to stop the rear unloading. We'd now run out of time we drew Steve Pateman. When I got into stage a bit to deep and activated the trans break the car rocked and broke the beams. (ARSE) but still ran a 9.8 @ 146. The car never missed a beat all weekend I hope my passenger on the cruise Mark Skinner enjoyed himself, going by all the picks I think he did. Now for you number crunchers out there. Car weighs 3285lb We ran 149 mph We used 1020 bhp @ 963 lb TQ to do it We crossed the line @ 5565 RPM That’s a gain of 250bhp with 1 second delay and a build time of 3 seconds. Pistons were travelling at 4173 feet/min

What a weekend for me and the other insane boys. we started the weekend on a high with the reception the car got. soon to be overshadowed by the obvious damage that the gearbox had suffered. After pulling the box from the car we found that the high gear clutch drum(second gear) was eating the pump. the prop was now to long. So a quick trip back to the workshop over 300 mile round trip and som 8 hours the gear box was back in the car. 8am and the sound off an angle grinder and club hammers soon attracts a crowd. We had to shorten the prop as well. With no time to test we were out on another qualifier and ran a 10.8second without nitrous and a very soft launch, And a complete gearbox. The cruise went without a hitch. Eliminations. We were up against the cotina of Moose. I put a bit more nitrous in the car than we had previously run and took a little more timing out which resulted in a cough on the line giving the win to moose. When I restarted the car Ian on the startline said to go. I got to about 60ft then activated the nitrous and end with 148mph. But all was not good as something let go in the transmission and the motor lost fire so coated to a stop being made to stop by the fire marshal. After checking it tonight we found the coil wire off and the oil cooler line broken as it bolts to the block. Thank god for that. When I weighed the bottle we had used a little over 1lb of nitrous. So with 500 jets in a build time of 3 seconds we must of lost fire not long after the max extreme started its programme. A big thank you to my crew how worked all night and missed out on their beer time. I must also say a big thank you to Brain of FB racing for welding up my prop.

Where do you all go for you Valuations I had my last one done by the NSRA.

Thanks guys, keep an eye on it as I will be updating it on a weekly basis

I hope you like my new site http://www.insanecreations.net/news.html

Thanks for that. I'm looking for mid 8's next season. I'm reworking the 4 link to aid with the launch and stop blowing the tyres

Thank Kieran

Ok Here's a little info from our PB's at the eurofinals. The best we ran was 9.08 seconds @ 153 Mph. We used 400 jets When we did our Dyno session we ended up with a best of 770 bhp N/A We ran our nitrous through the Max Extreme,We also take all the timing out of the car when the Extreme is armed. The engine was retarded by 8 deg for the nitrous and a further 4 deg (which was ramped back in over 2 seconds) was taken out of the engine to try to calm it down on the launch. The Extreme was set so no nitrous for 0.5 second the 20% hit with the rest coming in over 2.5 seconds. Going back over the data it showed we used 1062 BHP and 975lb of torque which gave us just under 300bhp increase and over 300 lb of torque on our dyno figures. We are more than impressed with the figures that we've got back specially when you think that we spun the tyres to badly of the hit and again when the nitrous came in.I'm sure that's what cost us the 8 second. We found our traction problem, the 4 link is to high. So while I'm sorting this out I'm doing the work needed to take the car to the next tag bracket of 7.5sec. Here's to 2 cars running Trev's kits getting down that way. I'm not saying we will but I think we can get into the low 8's. We'll have to see what Santa sends me down from Trev's (Wizard of Nos) in the festive season.

good on you we did 9 runs on sunday all with passengers with the fastest being 9.90 @141mph and we raised £575.we had to pull out of the last 2 due to my gearbox overheating and damaging the clutches so we could have pushed over £700

Has anyone out there got any picks or video footage of our Macmillan passenger runs.If you have could you e-mail them to me.As we are trying to put a portfolio together. thank you ron

This all sounds very much like the nsra forum and I made all the same points. As for the weekend BRILLIANT. Although we didn't get to walk round this year.

I found 8 of them there called 4.5inch pistons

I'm hoping to be there by 9ish on saturday but if were late leaving can we tag on were coming from pompey and the car will be on a trailer as 3 gallons a mile its a bit juicy.

thanks if that the case this post should clear it for me.

can any of the moderators help me hear I've tried posting picks and advertise bits for sale but I keep getting a message come saying I've not been a member for more than 7 days.I understand about the spammers but my picks are from photobucket as they were to big in normal format.sorry to be a pain. ron

welcome aboard doc. I hope youve seen the little bit in classic ford about the weekend.if any of you still fancy a ride then contact steve.

As I know some of you are aware we are holding our passenger runs at the classic ford show in june again. Well what can I say about the responce.Due to changes in the law weve had to raise our expences seperatly from our donations.We estimate that it will cost us £500 in fuel and nitrous so we put out an add with eurodragsterto help us raise some of it.What we got was a call from Matt Wright from GleesonWright security offering to pay all of it.We,ve also recieved a call from fellow racer and bloody nice guy Ray Comer with another donation.so we are going to put all the expences together and add the balence to our running total. Passenger runs Weve so far got rid of 4 for the Sunday with a couple to go and as yet we've still got all of saturday's to go but I think that will chage at the weekend as we are at Santapod and Saturdays runs are for Santapods staff on a first come first served. The Weekend we have secured film coverage from Power Point Communications we are also hopeful of having a reporter with us from Classic Ford Magazine. So far we have pledges of £425 after our expences so as you can see I'm blown away thank you all ron

oops got it wrong again i'll just stick to driving

I think that classic ford are going to raffle one of the rides on the day and buy sell cortina are raffling one on the day but we can't pre-sell tickets otherwise we need a gaming licence. sorry but the law is arse on these matters

weve added a second day for the passenger rides were doing it on saturday 9 june this is going to be for the santa pod staff.2 of the runs have gone thanks to buy sell cortina with a third being given away by them on the day. eurodragster have secured one of the runs for the weekend which they intend to give away.classic ford also have one so it looks like were going to be busy that weekend. I'd also like to thank Gleeson Wright security who have come up with our £500 costs for the weekend so that everything we raise will go to Macmillan. If you would like to make a donation and arn't going the please contact me on pm me or 20 wendover road havant hants po9 1dn or 07710403378 thanks for the support

Thank you and sorry for your loss

Bugger what have I gone and done now. Thanks for all the support and thank you V8ian for the kind words as for not being able to afford to bid we took people down last year ranging from £20 - £250 so its all up to you guys.if any of you wanted to make a donation please pm me and I'll give you my address. if any of you wanted to be a passenger then you would get a DVD of the day as well a certificate to say what you've done as well as a timing ticket.so you know how fast you've been and it'll be bragging rights at your club meets or pub thanks ron
