Ooh - harsh! :(

Its pretty harsh at the top of the tree too. Less than a TENTH of a second covers the top four places;)
 
Well congratulations and hats off to all the people that turned up:), they can now proudly talk the talk lol, unfortunately I couldn't make it due to final mapping issues with my car!! Hopefully I will be there at the next one!!;)
 
"Lizard" 350Z - saw one run at 14.659 / 98.09 but may have bettered this later - post up if you're watching!

Black 350z?
I have it on video against me doing 14.331 / 98.49 :thumbs:
Same run shows me doing 15.308 which means I showed the wrong slip lol :eek:
 
Sounds like you guys had a great time. It's cool that members are taking their sports car to a place made exactly for that. Weather held up too! Even DI Burnside got his 'rubber wings'. If there is any video footage I may be able to get it into the next OLM as it supports video. Woohoo!
 
Had a great days sorry I had to leave early and miss saying by to some people, the car ran well wanted to see high 13's but not too bad for my first go, highest terminal speed in class Cool, maybe time for rolling road tuning to bring out the best at current settings, also next time I'll try taking out the 2 fire extinguishers spare wheel and all my tools !!! could help a little, I also think I may have killed another diff as it was making some strange noises on the way back, jack and stands at the ready!!
Had a great day I can see how it can suck you in!!!

Your points in the overall challenge are cumulative using class 3 and 5 scores, but Class 3 seems to have disappeared from the Class Tables - help, Russ??
 
Would your reaction time have made the top ten?? If you beat Burnsie, he will kill me for taking his one point away!!
If your time is entered into the Class 1 table, everyone above you scores one more point!
I know the rules say tickets should be handed in on the day, but your circumstances were exceptional...let me know where you are at.

my best reaction was .5826 ,steve burns was quicker than me !!!!!!!!:conf2:
best 1/4 was 15.3703
