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 jezz shows how fast Chris's car really is.
Well done.
my thoughts exactly
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 otherwise Reeled 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.
very well done mate
s*** the bed thats fast.....
Fooking brill to watch that run today, awsome, gain 1 mph and your sat in a 9second car... after whats gone on these last few weeks chuffed its worked out for you fella... Got a great vid will get up later..
As for our car, same old story, fitted parts friday night, no proper tuning, no dyno time.. best run of the day was 11.3 @124mph, blow the gearbox on the line too, still came away runner up with a trophy and the cash tho.... yayyyy which i can blow on new parts.. really need to spend time dialing the car before events, getting no where and going backwards.
Well done!!!!!!

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 a or three.
Very impressive scoff, well done.
