I'm jut trying to think if anyone did get any vids of the run.Originally Posted by fcdgary
Not too sure if Glen (Hi 5) video'd it as i know he was watching the run aswell.
someone must have one
i seen that i mean new one i know its bit early but someone might have uploaded one
nice one scoff!!
Just looking at bugatti veyron Standing 1/4-mile: 10.8 sec @ 140 mph.
Dont know how accurate the times are. but jezzshows how fast Chris's car really is.
my thoughts exactly
Well done Scoff! Truely awsome!
hey, thanks for the words guys
it was a long time comming as a few of you know, so more a relief than anything else.
the engine had been capable of a 10sec pass for while already but the rest of the system (gear ratio's, synchro's, other bits and bats) were causing a headache. the new gearbox build finally seemed to work well, only missing 2nd gear once in the knock-out round against James Hodson (10sec VW golf, ex FWD champion). I would have had him otherwiseReeled him in once it came up on song at the end of the track. Missing that gear was the end of my ESC round but not after 5 runs - the first 2 with a phantom rev limit @ 6500rpm which turned out to be the launch control intermittently activating while on the move. I ran the rest of the day with launch control disconnected and still managed a 1.67 and 1.68 60's in my last 2 runs of the day.
Pretty happy with the 144mph trap, with a heavier car too now. I had expected a best some 6-7mph slower than that.
The engine has a slight missfire at the top of the track that I need to resolve, it could be that I'm blowing the spark out at high boost or that the injectors are falling over at high duty. unsure, but I can work on that for next time.
Big thanks to glenn Hi5 and andy speck who came along as pit crew and helped immensly throught the day.
Finally, big well done to tommy b also, 12.1 from a standard T2 ! W.T.F !!
Glenn left his camera with me, I'll see about uploading some vids.

Scoff, that is just amazing. Serious congratulations. You'll never meet a more down to earth, modest guy than Chris. Your hard work and has been long overdue a result like this. There is definately more to come.
For now you deserve aor three.
Very impressive scoff, well done.
Will you be in the 9s for the pod day at the end of the month?
What time have you run on treads?

Seriously though that is a bloody impressive time and imagine you must be pulling a few g off the line.
You are going to have to look at spoilers soon to keep you on the ground!
Glad that bits are all coming together
DG
Well done! Superb result
Super man!!!!!
Top work Scoffy - Mad as you like
Scoff number 1 now then? on the list thing where ever it is?
Congrats to Scoff!!!!
Fastest 5 ive been in was Mr Griers, bet this one is like that on speed.
Scoff is already the the top anyway, he's broken his own and everyone elses records
To go from a 10.6 in to 9s is some work, its alot easier to go from say a 12-11.. Im sure scoff can put this car in to a 9 one day... Id love it to be the first FWD car in to tha 9`s that would be awsome.....
He WAS number 2Scoff is already the the top anyway, he's broken his own and everyone elses records
