York Raceway Results - 19th Sept - 19/09/2011 08:45
As the club had arranged a day here after the AGM I thought I would go along, but was unsure of whether or not to have a couple of runs, didn't take much persuasion from JBT and MattM to get me to sign up.
The day could have gone better, I was terrible at getting my launches right and still hadn't after 4 runs. I only did 4 runs, as on the 4th run, the clutch pedal decided to stick to the floor when going from 2nd to 3rd, so decided to leave that as my last run, as I had well over a 4 hour journey back home and didn't fancy a broken gearbox and an annoyed girlfriend
So the results :
Reaction 60ft 1/8 ET 1/8 MPH 1/4 ET 1/4 MPH
1.3449 5.5399 9.1330 87.3600 13.4900 111.1200
0.9769 2.5550 9.1699 86.5400 13.5290 111.1800
0.9481 2.5937 9.2449 86.5300 13.6078 111.1100
1.0551 2.5900 9.4410 73.1400 14.2499 106.5700
You will see the 60ft for the first run was 5.5 seconds, but that is actually my 0 - 60mph time, as they can measure this at York.
First run was against JBT (who beat me), 2nd run was against MattM (who I beat), 3rd run was against a Sierra Cosworth, who launched better than me, but I reeled him in and beat him, final run was against a Nitrous'd mustang who I was catching up, but my clutch pedal decided to stick to the floor when going from 2nd to 3rd.
I'm sure JBT and MattM will post there times up in due course, if not, I know you can get them off York Raceway's website
