At the rollers today

[turboterror]

My mate knows a few of the HPE crew and i'm pretty sure that James and Andy Harris both had 111mph terminal speeds at Brighton . James also managed an incredible 1.6sec 0-60foot on that road surface .

[Guest HARRIS "REAL DEA]

I will give my congrats to james when jeff posts up the outcome of brighton but as for 60ft's and terminal speeds my first 2 runs were 111 mph @ 12.9 and 12.8 and 112mph on my 12.6 my 60 ft times were in the 2s and yes turboterror james done a 1.6 sixty foot on his second run but that was with a misfire but on his 12.3 he was in the 2s and toby i wouldnt be to disheartened mate my car is faster than 2 years ago and i managed to only equal my personal best with a bit of a better terminal speed i learnt something yesterday on the 2nd run as i hit 4th gear and i was heading towards the sea is that it was very calm and the street lights need repainting see you at the pod saturday toby

I don't know, which sounds odd but I was a a bit put out by my own performance.

 

I ran 13.35 at 95 on a slippery track, 13.4 with my passenger window open at 96 I think, and 13.4 on a grippy track but missed 4th. I really thought I would be up on terminal and down on time, I seem to be missing HP, just can't gt my head round it and a bit disillusioned by it

 

Everyone was initially down on terminal speed, but I would be interested on James, Rons and Andy's terminals to see if they were down later on in the day, although again I didn't learn anything bacause of what I got wrong above

 

You just want to go faster every year, I really wanted to beat my 13.19 and thought I would. The thing is that I had changed a few things. The engine hasn't been run anywhere since I re-built it cos of the cam foller issue I had, I ran a lower diff than previously at Brighton, I changed something in the engine when I rebuilt it and don't know if it has improved things.

 

Cheers for asking Russ - bet you wish you hadn't
