[Guy]

Bump - anyone? Could be a cool day out. Find out your quarter mile time and meet other forum members ?

I will certainty be going, Seeing any forum members will be a bonus.

 

[Kev]

I would come along, but I have a blown fourth runner on the head, so I don't think a trip down to santa pod would do it any good lol!

I hope we can get some numbers up for this, the MSC needs to meet up more often.

[Guy]

The Santa Pod website says something like helmets are to be used if you'll exceed 130 mph so we should be ok (Y).

sounds like a plan, So how many people are definitely going?

 

[Guy]

Me! Car washed, all glove box and boot contents removed, camera batterys charged, flask washed and ready (major caffeine freak) - sat nav programmed up (Y)!

sounds exactly like me, washed it before work this morning then got home and in the dark took all the stuff I wouldn't need out the car!

 

[Low Rider]

Good! That was the whole point of posting the time..........to help motivate the club. It shouldn't be too hard to beat, my car is not optimised for the 1/4 by any means, so still has a heavy flywheel, low profile tyres, big brakes etc and is still on stock compression and a 1.3box.

We could only best a 2.6x 60ft time due to bogging down or spinning out, there's nothing tyre pressure will do on 45 profile tyres. I expect the car has a 15.5x in it but I certainly wont be bothering to start downsizing the front brakes, shoving on steels with sticky tyres etc just to beat it.

Hopefully this will help create some nice quick K11's and make for some great club attendances at Pod and other events

 

[Eliot]

Best run :

Reaction - .6600
60 ft - 2.6397
quarter time - 17.7093
terminal speed - 75.67

 

[Ed]

Not bad, just for comparison, my old March Super turbo got 14.01 @ 100 mph... Shows what a turbo can do eh lol.

 

[Guy]

Ed, am seriously thinking about talking to you about turbocharging my K12 now it's all paid for and mine. I reckon a simple low boost setup would be an awesome project !

 

[Eliot]

I would look forward to seeing that if you do it!
