Just a quick post to say what an excellent day we had at Santa Pod! Met up with Harlen and Eliot in their awesome K11s. Weather was scorching, my arms and face are well sunburned.
We all had pretty rubbish first runs, a combination of nerves and trying to get the hang of how the bloomin' lights work :laugh:. By the third run, we were all doing much better. My best run in the 160 (stock bar the K&N panel filter) was 17.1 with a 79 mph terminal speed, I'll let Eliot and Harlen tell you their times cos they stayed for a few more runs than I did.
Anyhow, a couple of pic's:
The K11s against each other, about half a second before they took off.
View of the guys from my car waiting to do our first run.
Harlen against what looks like an XR2.
Only bad thing about the whole day were the wasps which were EVERYWHERE!
We definitely need to arrange a club meeing for the next RWYB in the autumn.
