[James5]

Anyone up for this?? thinking of putting the car back out again next year after a few changes and wondering if anyone else would be interested in going and having a bit of a club stand.

Cost of the event is £10 entry and £25 to run, you will need your photo part of full license, a helment if you will go over 110mph.

Is that on a totally std 5? you can see on the 1/4 board what spec's people run so you can see what you can get out of your car roughly

You don't have to go when the light is green just take your time and go when your ready.

I wouldn't run a std T2 @ 18psi as its out of its effiency range i would go 16psi max you will just be pushing warm air around.


I have only done a few runs myself and enjoyed it, and like yourself my first run on the same setup as you saw me do a 14.5 with an easy launch, when i rtnd to pod a few months later I had done a few things T28, 2.5" one piece downpipe and 2.5" side exit just doing these and running 18psi of boost saw me do a 13.7 on road tyres and stock engine with a slightly more agressive launch.

he's measuring 18psi at the carb top.
