was a good day, and nice to meet some of you guys.

well done nathan, but shame it was too hot today and with problems an all round thing for all of us.

my best, well my time slip says

11.91
116mph
1.530 6o foot (which i cant beleive??? yokohama neova tyres)

i had major problems with intake temps, which were fast approaching 70c after some a run, so with a last ditch effort used the CO2 on the boot mount to cool it down,

on everyone run bar 1 (still overreved in 2nd), above the car was misfiring badly.

All in all, a good day out.

i would ignore the times mate, firstly i did a 10.8 @ 120mph.... then i did a 10.8 @ 136mph .... then a 10.8 @ 124mph..... :roll:

All in all though, everyone was slower i think compared to last year... weather and track was against us! The amount of boost / misfire issues i heard of was astounding!

I have the results but I'm at work and can't get FTP access back to my site from here to host them (all in .doc format at present in a format that doesn't cut and paste to the forum very well), will try and produce some kind of summary as soon as I can.

This forum doesn't support file uploads and my own has the same software without the hack I keep meaning to install so in the meantime, if you're a member, you might be able to see them on the Supra site, it's the only place I can find to upload them at the moment.

If anyone else wants to host these in the meantime I can email them to you, it's an 84kb zip file.

Your guess is as good as mine :!:

Times were slow but so were terminals... What a shame my 10.4 run was after the 3.30 cut off as that would have put me 7th in the 1/4 mile results so more points #-o
