Re: Central Day - 19th April - Santa Pod
FRSJON :shell, saw you go up the strip a few times and get a bit side ways on one of the runs.... ..
HA HA... That bit wasnt fun... broke a nail
Lower arms were f**cked but cos she has been off the road didnt realise until the journey there on saturday and there is nothing you can do then...
BUT... she did make 301bhp on the rollers the day before without nitrous and i still have the wrong jets in for my car so there is alot of nitrous that comes in all at once... it was a lethal combination for the strip... just didnt think it would throw me into the nxt lane practically because of that i couldnt get away from a 13.9 so annoying when i know there is so much more the car can do...
Other than that was a good day... nice to meet you luke and good to see gav again...
Have to say tho... for a beginner Luke and missing 4th didnt do too badly... with a lot more confindence your car will be unbeatable...

Re: Central Day - 19th April - Santa Pod
i went to find my bro then couldnt spot your bald head anywhere
i really enjoyed it yesterday bar my car.
met madmax, baldilocks, tiller, shell and lee, luca
lovely cars, my fav from the ft crew was lucas, he totally annialated me was good fun, anyone get a vid
shell looked great on the new wheels and tillers was
i had clutch issues for the first time ever then kept slipping in 4th on the track so adjusted the nos to come in very progressive.
last run was 13.7@105 with no clutch slip and on road tyres, happy with that

Nice to meet you too Shell, your help made the day Good advice given before the day.
Must say though the few days leading up to the yesterday I was bricking it!
Got there and thought just do it, then disaster i queue up and Gav pulls aside me!
Talk about pressure! All was good fun and all the FT members are great genuine people
Had good fun and the car was going well ran with 340hp yesterdsay and a limp left wrist that 3 out of 4 attempts missed 4th gear
Classic Ford show I will defo be back at the Pod though. Try and reduce the 60ft a bit (check me out with the 1/4mile lingo) and get the gear changes spot on.
Want to try a few runs launching in 2nd too .
