Well.
....after owning and modding the 2 for the last 2 years i finally plucked up the courage to have a bash (more like Horrocks hounding me all last night and this morning to get my ar$e in gear)Was having second thoughts yesterday due to having slightly bald tyres on the rear
and 2 oil leaks
(Rocker cover & Sump) 
Anyway, Wasn't going too well for the first 6 runs, We
(as in Horrocks) has decided my user name should be changed to "PANSY LAUNCHER" for letting the 2 community down with the complete lack of ability to get the car off the line properly 
tried different revs and riding the clutch nothing seemed to be working 
and i was getting very wound up in the process 
it did get slightly better towards the end though, Only lit up the tyres on the approach on the last 3 runs due to their condition and relying on them to get me home.EXCUSE TIME
It was my first attempt at dragging EVER, I had bald tires, Everyone else said they were struggling for grip & I couldn't be bothered dropping the pressure in my rears (from 34psi) cause my hidden valve lock and adapter was in Horrocks boot in the Jag which was "a bit of a walk"And it seems i have about as much respect for the gearbox as Mark Edwards
Anyway, Here goes the story a little something like this
(Cue Run DMC & Jason Nevins) I'm T82 BTWRun 1
- Vs turbo'd 300bhp Nova (Had a 100 shot of NOS too but wasn't using it)
Run 2
- Vs turbo'd Astra GSi
Run 3
- Vs same turbo'd Nova
Thought i did better but turns out he missed 3rd gear
Run 4
- Vs same Turbo'd Nova again
Run 5
- Vs Saxo VTS
Run 6
- Vs Astra (Engine not sure)
Run 7
- Vs insane Hot-Rod

Run 8
- Vs same insane Hot Rod
He pushed in the queue for a rematch to get revenge and won this time BUT I GOT INTO THE 13's
Just need to practice launching to sort out the rather
60 foot times but check out those 1/8 & 1/4 speeds for consistency if nothing else 
And she got me back home with no probs whatsoever
(bar slightly less oil)
)
should have done this earlier perhaps ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
