Hi Greeny - yup :redface: was me.

I hope you got to run again - that was LOTS of oil round your engine bay :(

I went home not too long after - as I wasnt going to run I thought I would go see the GF instead.

That Zephy was MENTAL - so the beis he dropped was one half of his weely bar :shock:

Better metal and welding needed!

Thats the ultimate goal! My previous best was an 11.1@136mph, so was over the moon with the 10.3!

With a perfect run, i think its got a 9 in it, but we all know how hard it is to get a perfect run! :mrgreen:

Cheers.

keep us informed then - would like to be there to see you put that run in!

Would be happy to get a run without breaking anythign this year! I think I need to get some higher gears before I will be getting even CLOSE to that!

I wish I hadnt read the Retro Show RWYB report now :beatstick:

It seem that this year the "non road legal class X" included bikes??
It was won by an 8 second bike. Good luck to the bloke. But how can our cars keep up with bikes??

You have probably guessed by now that my sub par run of 11.2 was the next quickest on the leader board. Along with a string of 11 second cars. How much more do I have to do to miss another trophy this year??
FFS its only another £15 for a class X bike trophy??

I have to admit that the bike classes are crap with just "under 200cc" and "over 200cc" as the two main classes. But that aint my fault is it.. Bitter?? You bet ya life I am :rofl:
The guy must have two bikes cos he entered and won class X and the "over 200cc bikes" classes.

The 11.2 was a run where I shut down before the line due to the ht lead fault giving me a misfire.

Oh well!
I'll just have to keep plugging away at the street car challenge table where I'm still hanging on to 5th at the mo with a 10.9 pass :)
Heres the table form Retro
