Stiggy Posted December 8, 2012 Report Posted December 8, 2012 W ayne what was Jacs doing on that day ?? If I remember correctly he had some stupid gearing.
w p e Posted December 9, 2012 Author Report Posted December 9, 2012 says 15.0 on the vid timer you fool at 11 sec the shit box is out of view
puddy Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 says 15.0 on the vid timer you fool at 11 sec the shit box is out of view I doubt it, its about a mile to the hump on the runway at Brunters I think. If you wanna guestimate a time there,add at least 0.5-1.0 seconds on your best time at pod or avon park imho. puddy
Toby Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 Looks like some time after 1962 - definately day time.
Toby Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 Oh and you would have got a better time if you hadn't pulled away in 3rd
Toby Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 says 15.0 on the vid timer you fool at 11 sec the shit box is out of view I didn't know you could get sound on cine cameras.
puddy Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 exactly that so the time was? So you think you did a standing mile in under 15 seconds, were you tied to the vulcan bomber taking off on the other side of the hump ? What is your best time at pod or avon park and I will give you a guestimate from my experience at all 3 venues puddy

puddy Posted December 10, 2012 Report Posted December 10, 2012 Well assuming you pulled away in 1st gear, and it only goes until its misfiring in 3rd, probably about 90-100mph? Normally means a low 14 or high 13 on a good track. why are you asking us though,you were in the bloody thing ! puddy
w p e Posted December 10, 2012 Author Report Posted December 10, 2012 second gear launch from burnout as no traction
puddy Posted December 12, 2012 Report Posted December 12, 2012 second gear launch from burnout as no traction I give up ! puddy
Toby Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 second gear launch from burnout as no traction Is the answer in the question? I have to say it looks fast, sounds fast, but was it fast? As you well know 100 foot of wheelspin in not great if you're racing the clock. I'm going 14.5 if you were lucky. How's me guess? When do we find out whoes the winner and what is the prize for closest guess? Can I have the little blue car in the video?
