Two White MK1s - Santa Pod Raceway 02/10/10

[Danthrax]

hmmmm comparing the times its at 330ft where i lost my second so that would of been either 1st or secondd gear...hmmmmmm

poor gear chage

Doesn't matter what you went up against, respectful times for non-setup cars...well done!!

Dan, if you'd have had your last reaction time on your first run, you'd have been chomping at 16dead/15s...

Alex, impressed you went out there on a brand new clutch!!

NAs are capable of 15s(in the wet), as has been proved before...so keep it up!!

Yeah well first time was my first ever run and I had a really poor start, oh yeah the track was actually dry.

also just thought id post my cars spec for comparison:
mk1a
running on a mk1b gear box and exedy clutch, not sure if engine is an a or b!!! shouldd be an a but has black writing

hmm i reckon you got a 1b block and head maybe but 1a air intake

mines all standard apart from K&N 57i kit and coilovers oh and i took my passenger seat out too lol

need to try and get it quicker by the 31st for last RWYB of the year.

Don't suppose you're planning on going on the 24th? That's when I'm going up.

I was thinking about it, I might not have much money for then tho, I f i can afford it I'll do both dates but I get paid just before 31st

if i was changing gear poorly then my times would have been different each time but thwey were nearly exactly the same... and i beleive i was giving it my best each time

As I mentioned earlier in the thread. I went up to Santa Pod (about 140 miles from Bristol!) to race yesterday but thanks to it being busy, and them having to clean the track due to oil half way through the day I only managed 2 runs. I've never attempted the 1/4 mile before in a RWD car so I wasn't particularly happy with either run, especially the starts. In the first one I didn't have enough revs and bogged down. In the 2nd the guy I was racing against had some sort of engine failure, which meant an almighty bang - I thought it was my car and sort of backed off momentarily till I realised what was happening.

Here are the times:

==RUN 1==
Reaction - .756
60 ft - 2.464
330 ft - 6.999
1/8 ET - 10.699
1/8 MPH - 66.48
1000' ET - 13.861
1000' MPH - 78.04
1/4 ET - 16.519
1/4 MPH - 84.11

==RUN 2==
Reaction - .683
60 ft - 2.407
330 ft - 6.849
1/8 ET - 10.556
1/8 MPH - 66.43
1000' ET - 13.717
1000' MPH - 77.87
1/4 ET - 16.364
1/4 MPH - 83.64

Dan - I'm posting your times again for comparison. Can't see any difference to be honest apart from a slightly higher 1/4 mph.

I lost every race tho, first one was against an Astra Coupe Turbo, second one was against a Prodrive Scooby and last one was a Stripped out and drag tuned R5 Turbo which compleatly murdered me lmao

I got murdered on my 2nd run by a Fiesta RS. Even though something went pop he still managed 14.something.
