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 8)

Couldnt make it, short and very boring story.

My cousin only got 14.1 in his e39 m5 with 101mph on the trap so you beat him lol.

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

Dan i saw all your trys and they were great! A shame it popped a shaft but it was looking great. I got a few vids too!

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.

Usual council activity on Saturday night :)

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!!) :cool:

yup that white cab is clean machine indeed,i thought trever had turned up when i saw it winkeye .

the headwind was bad and i never managed to beat my pb @ york of 14.2 .

that jet car is just awesome :mad:

i was glad to see the tango touring do a run down the blackstuff after last years none run. well done lads.:cool:

it sounded like the wheels span up in 3rd gear 8O

Sounded like it was axle tramping in all gears @ tango touring!! Pretty cool beast. Did anyone see that odd red e36 compact that looked like it had Matchbox wheels on?!

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 :eek: :)

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 :)

I'm going to the cops, The cooont has effectively obtained crack by deception . I feel cheap and used, again :)
