insaneron Posted June 7, 2010 Report Posted June 7, 2010 a very very good classic ford which saw the old bus get back to 9.2 seconds at 150 mph. On the Sunday I got a little greedy with the settings and lit the tyres. Then the car started started to go a little close to the wall I think another layer of paint would have done it. I'm not sure what was going through My passengers minds as they watched me "Set The Car Up". I was asked by Ian Marshall to make sure I didn't break 130mph as its a new ruling and part of there insurance. So first run with a passenger, We got Graham into the car. A good burnout and launch I think a new best 60ft of 1.54 just past half track I hit the brakes hard ending with 9.7 seconds @ 96 mph. Next up was Tom, who had won the Classic Ford quiz night. We went through what was going to happen and he watch the first passenger ride. As we went to go up for the run the skies opened. The meeting was called. We have agreed with Tom that we will onhour his ride and will contact him to arrange a date.
Fiesta Steve Posted June 8, 2010 Report Posted June 8, 2010 I saw you get a bit close to the wall Nice one

insaneron Posted June 9, 2010 Author Report Posted June 9, 2010 Thanks guys. What wall, I was desperatly trying to get an 8 before the passenger rides as I was restricted to 130mph by the track for insurance reasons and over cooked it a little. I'd love to have heard what the passengers were thinking watching me do that. The car produces a little over 800 bhp on the engine (Dyno'd) and we were trying to put another 500 down its neck. I'm glad you like the car I think it went down well in its new colour's as there was a constant stream of people in the gazebo but that might have been weather related
