Today at Santa Pod 14/08/09

Well had a voice mail from Glen (I'm working not got my phone on *lol*) to say he's beat the club sqm on road tyers 12.70 :beer:

Karlos

14-08-2009, 12:17

Update text via Bungle SMS. now 12.3 SQM on road tyres :)

Ashy

14-08-2009, 12:51

has he not got any slicks with him KD?

Karlos

14-08-2009, 12:57

Ashy... I'd guess he's taken them going all that way. Can only get better :)

I'm on the desk at work at the moment so can't speak to him. Just had another miss call so could be a quicker time :)

I believe that Gianni would of been on street tyres as the KOE is street legal. Although they only have to be DOT type.

Depends on which way you look at it really lol. :D

Scoff

14-08-2009, 17:10

Dave, yes road legal, they said they were M/T street radials. ofcourse, he's not a club member so glen will have the club record :)

Rob@Backyardracing

14-08-2009, 18:05

Good going, i here MT streets radials are really close to full a drag tho... Any improvements on traps? give us some 330s and 60s :agree: :)

Dave Reed

14-08-2009, 19:02

Dave, yes road legal, they said they were M/T street radials. ofcourse, he's not a club member so glen will have the club record :)

Yeah I no he's not part of the club I was just saying how quick you can go on street tyres that's all (although I think they are only DOT and not 'E' marked??). Still a quick time on road tread 12.3. I've only ever managed a 12.7 on road tyres, although that was R888 and on a concreate tyre track, O and on 3 cylinders cause I bent the push rods lol :laugh:

HI 5 congrats on getting the record as I didn't say it before :ashamed:

Rob@Backyardracing

14-08-2009, 21:52

Scoff

Nope, I continually update it, but it relies on people sending me the details :) I have Glenns previous times in the table ;)

You have certainly put the time, effort and money into breaking that record........but a novice? I dont think anyone is buying that one dude, you spend more time at York and Pod than you do at home ;) :laugh:
