Ryan
I never knew you liked my old dear so much Ryan
First off Massive thanks to Ryan for playing with the laptop allday.
....even though he wouldn't let me blow it up at the end 
Also massive thanks to Nath(use of spanners/jack etc), Mich for organising it and letting me play
, Xxxx for letting me pinch he's mickey t's for a few runs 
, Simon for letting me buy he's fuel, and everyone else who helped me on the day 
(oh and the sound testing man 
112db exactly 
)Well.
........Where to start,Since being on the dyno my car hadn't missed a beat.
..Untill on the way to york it started to miss ](./images/smilies/eusa_wall.gif "Brick wall"){kind=small}
!So with this and the temps rising fast in the morning ryan suggested we run it on race fuel for a bit of extra protection,
Only managed a total of 5 runs on the quarter and didnt even get to the handling circuit
The runs went,
1)
12.21 121 (race fuel and R888's) 1.7bar??(ryan?) 2)
11.37 120 (race fuel and R888's) 1.7bar??(ryan?) Ran lean to 17.5afr!! 
3)
12.77 101 (99ron tescos and shahids M/t's) 1.4bar?4)
11.55 120 (99ron tescos and shahids M/t's) 1.5bar?5)
16.61 70 (99ron tescos and shahids M/t's) Ran lean again in 3rd gear! 17-1afr! Also went to try to do a top speed run on the last one(even though ryan told me i shouldnt and couldnt
) but with it trying to kill itself i had to give up! Also its a bit hard to keep an eye on my wideband guage whilst launching down the quarter and trying to keep it in a straight line!
Anyways the 11.37 was good enough for 4th overall in the RWD class on the quarter, and with three mr2's in the finals/shootout with all the problems evryone had is a great result imo!
This being my first event with the car and the numerous problems id had throughout the day, fuel/misfires/ running lean/heat/alternator dropping etc,etc, 4th overall and only 0.5sec behind the winner on the 1/4
(nath ) was a great result for me,I was so gutted at not being able to take the car into the shootout though, I was even willing to blow it up to run in the shootouts
But ryan wouldnt have it lol, Where as Mich was just laughing at me trying to convince ryan that its only an engine and i can rebuild it again 
With the problems ironed out, some mickey t's of my own, some race fuel and 2+bar of boost, I think everyone can see the massive potential of the car!.
.....And thats before i think about d/p nitrous .....God only knows what we could manage with a few sponsors on-board aswell.......... 
Was such a hectic day, and great to put faces to names, and wished id had more time to talk to everyone that introduced themselves, andy f, gts chris, Kev, lockys, and everyone else that ive forgotten!
I didnt even get chance to say hello to royash, but will do at the pod sometime
Also thanks again to John(splashnatz) for a push in the morning and the cd's
I dorve it there and drove it back so im happy
Michael.
