I have heard that Stuart Clark has done an 11.5, there is some escort estate running mid 10's pretty much on every run (apparently has a well lumpy idle), and a mini turbo (not the GTT engine one) has blown a gearbox.

Good to see the faithful.
escort was an impressive thing, all from NA, shows you what light weight car's can do. I think I heard talk of about 290hp.
Stuart did 11.4 later on, bested his trap with 125.5, he had my wideband logger in all day, we recorded some good data from his car. helped to set the gas up too. unfortunately a slipping clutch all day held him back.
Rob/dean/ant's BYR civic was great fun to watch, posting some good times, 11.3 / 122mph I think was the best run on Friday. Seems to rattle upto the 1/8th very quickly, thats a good et for only 122mph. 10 second should be possible with 126mph I bet.
Rob's just text me, 11.24 @ 124.8mph with 1.70 60'. they did a 1.68 60' too.
update, 11.16 @ 114mph, boost hose popped off hence the trap. they've done 126mph now, turbo on it's last legs.
It's just like watching the vidiprinter on Grandstand .................back in the day .
noisey bugger, wasn't it!
Adam and I witnessed this today, bloody impressive!

Chuffed to bits with car... im sure if that ****ing hose didnt pop it be a 10.9 but hay hoo next time...
