Took the car to a RWYB on sunday.... what a pants day.

It rained ALL morning and the track finally opened at 1pm.

However saw some top Evos!

680BHP Black Evo 8 was adjusting boost settings in the drifting section out back, WOW what a noise the popping can literally shake cars for acres around!!

Track was stone cold when I got my car on, But to put things into perspective, Condition wise...

Andy Nicholls mad Rover / MG 25 thing...

12.6 @ 110.

THAT Evo 8 -

12.2

E46 M3

15.5


Nobody could get traction, I saw a Renault 5 Gt Turbo spin in 1,2,3 and 4!

Saw a white Astra GTE with some HUGE spec blow his engine accross the line under 13 at 128mph,... Smoke everywhere and track shut for half hr...

Then I get my run, Paired up against another solo runner - Andy Nicholls, He had issues so pulled out the que, Alas I went against a 95 Corsa that scared me TBH, Saw it run well when it had traction earlier in the day.. It was stripped and running a 2000cc redtop on throttle bodies,.

Having a cracked manifold and smokey seals on my tubby didnt help me thinking I was gonna loose.....

Green lights, Im off, Crap reaction by me means he has 1 length... then I have some traction and I steam past with ease, passing at 99mph in 14.2.... to his 14.9

3rd was flat as a pancake too?? well felt a tad flat..

Most cars were getting rank times taht I presume were due too the weather...

In all I was happy with a 14.2 with the defects I have and JUST 260horses... and no fettled boost...

Do you mean Andy Nicholls?

YUP, Forrests the Scoob Guru right? sorry, editing now

Yeah Andy Forrest is the Subaru one, what was your 60ft time?

60ft time was 2.36 sec

14.2 is a good result, especially if it's slippy

That time is unbelievable if it was even slightly wet!

I did a 14.01 at Brize Norton a few years back in the pouring rain

I did a 14.01 at brize in the dry !!! and I was pleased

2.36 60ft is an ok time for someone in the dry. You must have been lucky and found traction.

I tried it in the rain once....

2.8 60ft and wheel spinned up to 80mph and just coasted over the line.... still got 15.1

Fairs fair then, I did well - Thought I could break the 13's but with a leaky manifold and rain it obviously wont be possible in my low state of tune...
