Mick The Cabbie Posted October 19, 2009 Author Report Posted October 19, 2009 Yep, broke a chocolate (or are they indeed caramel OHC??) shaft on just my second run. Twix shaft's maybe..? This was my 1st entry in the OSF drag champs. Thought I'd show for the final round. Not had a huge amount of previous experience at this game but was hoping to break into the high 14's after previously running consistent 15.5's on cheap Yoko's & absolute zero grip off the line. 1st run of the day on slicks I managed a 15.02 after a fairly steady 3k launch 2nd run & determined to run a 14.8 or 9 with a 4-4.5k launch and........POP, game over. I know these standard Twix's are a weak point, but I really was suprised how easily it broke. The car never moved an inch. Managed to blow the oil filler cap off too, so prob a good thing that I didn't move far and leave an oil slick up the strip. Need to get me a proper breather system plumbed in me thinks It was sooo bloody busy there yesterday. Only managed to spend 15 secs on track after queing for a total of 3 hours. Had loadsa fun in the burnout trap though Finally got home @ 10.30pm after another 3 hours waiting for a proper AA recovery truck.. Good to see ya too Jo & Ian. Met a couple of other friendly new faces too ...and Martin, I don't know what ever you mean
Trevmk3 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 thats not too bad a time then Mick, i blew a shaft setting off down hill in my old mk1
v8cortina Posted October 19, 2009 Report Posted October 19, 2009 Good to see you again Mick and glad you made it home OK
