Xxxx managed an 11.2, slightly slower than he got last week. i got a 12.6, i just can't get it right at santa pod. mikejc got an 11.7 by the time we left, don't know if he did even better after. few other 2's running too. didn't see if the TRD ran. but there must of been nearly 10 mr2's running today.@ 123 mph but really really struggled with traction.

wasnt too happy as ive gone quicker & expected to be quick as the temperature was cooler - loads and loads and loads of wheels spin didnt seem to matter what revs - what kind of revs do people launch at ??- didnt see any of you guys run as i was always in the queue. did look like a good showing of mr2's .- who instead of pulling me for going slightly over the limit on a quiet road pulled alongside on his bike and pointed at his speedo - and drove off . could have ruined a good day but didnt thankfully [-o< - nice to see theres some common sense still about . =D>- also nice to meet all you guys (and ladies) always good to put names to faces and talk to people who share the same entusiasm as i do for their cars.

.glad it was not just me who could not get any gripzak_godsell wrote:my car was about the slowest mr2 there then
'2 owners also. 
! I personally think that the bad grip was a combo of a couple of things...... first off the strip really did take a beating from all of the mischief that had taken place on the Saturday. I was also told by some one in the know that they only glued the surface in the morning and left it at that for the rest of the day due to it only being a rwyb and the last one of the year at that ! Add to that the cold conditions and there you have it..... a track with little grip lol I tried using what I had learned about the surface from having run at the Jap Show a few weeks back, where grip was simply amazing That being said thanks to experimenting with rpm V's gear changes we still managed a PB of 11.7 @ 121mph. Not too bad for a car built for the circuit, running pump fuel and road legal rubber I'm sure that with some drag radials, a decent launch and some race fuel low 11's could be on the cards with the current set up. A bigger turbo and the above may well see 10's ........we'll just have to see what those brains over at Rogue Motorsport can come up with to make this rocket even faster lol. watch this space regarding that one Mikejc wrote:I personally never managed to find the sweet spot in terms of launching
Today however simply didn't even come close grip wise
- great new PB
I wheel span in first, second, third...lol did some snaking up the track. Best I managed was another 13.1 with a 119mph terminal...the 60ft was 2.2 so room for improvement.... saying that i seem to get a 2.1 - 2.3 60 ft WHATEVER tyres i use. i will learn to launch, one day i'll see a sub 2 second 60ft ...(wonder how long it'd take to walk 60 ft ? maybe i'd be quicker that way) Well done mate. =D> ..WHERE ARE THE PICS!!!!splash2 wrote:get some trackday tyres on it, or better still some mickey T's
Had a useful chat with Xxxx (11.2secs and big fat drag tyres ) and another with a drag chap on the day both of who gave me advice on tyres...the drag pro told me I was losing a second due to loss of grip. I will be back.
