Any other notable times that need adding to the list?
I think Mike JC ran 12.5 also
Well done also to Toni

You're on a proper drag strip, not an old airfield.The difference in grip is huuuuge!

It didn't help that my Racelogic TC and launch decided to do a burton on the day.

I know what you mean about times too, I've done a 13.9 in my standard rev3 at Santa Pod, so was a bit disappointed not to register a 12 in a car with some 150~ bhp more!!But grip was poor
- and the Toyos I had on the car were very very poor IMHO.

I will get a lot faster when I learn the power delivery and change to decent tyres, the car is well capable of an early 12 maybe a late 11.

Particularly as I was limited to 1.6 bar on the day and the car can easily take 2+

As a matter of interest I was doing terminals of 111mph which is safe 12s territory, it was my launches and getting out of first letting me down.

(edited the terminal got it wrong, doh!)

mikejc and toni have explained what difficulties they felt they encountered, which is what everybody was wondering, and i'm sure those replies are appreciated
(unlike a couple of others).

He didn't ask the question in a nasty way, just trying to find out what happened, maybe we can all learn from the teams experience.
unfamiliar surface, high ambient temperature and good-ole nerves probably had a part to play too.
End of the day, the club put in a decent showing, and if the team enjoyed themselves nearly as much as i did watching, then none of us have anything to complain or worry about.

Time will be spent testing various different set ups over the next few weeks which should see us dropping into the 11's with little effort once we get it right
