for organising a well run event. Shame about the weather and the queues but you can't have it all. From 10am til 4pm i only got 2 runs in, stupid why they let that many people sign on when it's obvious there's too many cars, all about the money i guess. I hope you all got at least two runs in.| 99 528i SE Touring | 01 Mandarin VX220Mark Edwards wrote:Big thanks to the very sexy Jo

Danny my friend, you left too early to collect your prize.

Yeah yeah Whateva.
Check my thread in the general section, gonna fit that TD06, rev3 gearbox and perhaps an uprated clutch in the coming months so maybe next year i'll do a little better.
Congrats on you time Mark, shame you didn't get more runs as i think given the chance you should certainly be in the 11's
(and the MR2Mk1Club) to say thanks to everyone who turned up and made it a great event. It was a shame that we didn't get many runs but everyone seemed to have a good day, roll on next year!

Is Jo going to post the results?
BUT I only got one run during the whole day. And here's the irony. I wanted to do my first run without using any NOS. Simon turned up with his NOS powered Mk1b with an empty bottle! But I couldn't see Si and was looking over my shoulder when I tried to change into 3rd and missed the gear! 
Lost a load of momentum and Si closed me down but I flicked the V signs as he went by 
. I got a better reaction time so it was a close thing at the finish, only 0.117s separated us! . If I CBA (C= "can" in this case) I will plot it out and try and work out what time I should have done...
Who looks like a gargoyle? It clearly shows exactly what happened. I was holding Si in first and second gear (lines are parallel) and then when I missed third gear (at 54mph) I lost a load of momentum: ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
Once I picked up momentum again the lines go back parallel.(Double click and maximise to get a better pic)
Thanks to the organisers! Was my first run down a drag strip and loved it! Only got one run coz of the rain and it being so busy! I think they should have run the bikes on a different day. They were borrrrrrring. That way we woud have all had a few more runs at least.
