Only managed 5 runs, my quickest was 13.8 then I broke a driveshaft. 99 & 100mph ET
Im sure Penton did a 13.8 in his new build M52B28 track car, M50 manifold and one of my ECU's

It was pretty windy there today as opposed to last year,i would imagine that could have an effect on run times and speed.

Unfortunately I had to bail at 0 hour this morning, but I will be going up early next month and I will post my times. sounds like I missed a good show
should have been some good times as it was cooler air this year.

The times weren't happening for me today, 14.1 was my best at a paltry 95mph.
After witnessing Dan's exploded CV joint, I thought better of running again as the appeal of a journey home on the RAC truck wasn't great.
The headwinds didn't help the terminal speeds.

No problems! I have two cabs, one with a very long in the tooth and slow paced rebuild but this is the level of detail I am hoping for. White is a difficult colour, but when the car is so tidy, its a brilliant colour! Also slightly jealous of your number plate! (hence the second photo!!)

the headwind was bad and i never managed to beat my pb @ york of 14.2 .
that jet car is just awesome
i was glad to see the tango touring do a run down the blackstuff after last years none run. well done lads.

Your only queer if you take it ! Front pocket = giver , rear pocket = taker of muck. This and the fact that your farts are inaudible is concrete proof that your ring piece is like a wizened wizards sleeve

The carefully regulated crack exposure was for Ravs benefit, I am trying to get some wheels off him cheap

C'mon now, everyone knows Rav is ruthless, no amount of crack would do you any favours there, even the son of god himself would not get discount
