how close was pete....only a rizla paper behind

[scooby princess]

Didnt he beat you once steve? not sure as i could not see the end of the strip

[tiny gsy]

i didn`t think so, thought they were just close from what I was told

[MartynJ]

To put this into perspective lets not forget that JD's car is over 200kgs heavier than the classic....

I also suspect due to the larger turbo on JD's car that should they be competing over a 1/4 mile the gap would be far larger...

I found it very hard going on Sunday in the 460hp classic we took along as I just couldn't get it off the line (Something I will be resolving when we take the car testing at Smeathorpe in a couple of weeks time) , when I did get the thing moving it was sensational at the top of the track still managing to cross the 1/8th @ 95mph with my crappy starts...

I knew there was a reasonable weight difference between the newages and classivs but didn`t realise it was 200kg! I`ve been told it roughly equates to approximately a 50bhp difference (the newage having the extra 50bhp) making them roughly equal

Think i should do a few mods to my car this year and enter Street wars next year. Be a good laugh! lol. But i think a anti lift kit is needed as my rear end drops a good un. lol.

pete,

i have spoken to Lee about last weekend, and i did offer to pay you back £25 out of club funds to compensate you, but you refused. This offer still stands. I will be in more contact with Lee closer to the next event. He agrees there are some issues with the parking and aims to resolve the issues, I dont think he planned on that many cars turning up.
