Sorry no new entry - car must be driven my owner else we'll all be swapping cars and the records would become diluted.
Tony needs to grow some testicles and drive it himself
Well done everyone though

Yet another excellent weekend I managed to get 18 runs on the day! and very proud of my new personal best. Best of all there is still loads more things to improve on the car to get my times down like decent tyres.
I had a good run home with Tony riding alongside in his 300zx. Even had a local taxi driver beeb his horn and stick his thumb up in approval while driving along the M1 and ironically his taxi firm was called Skyline Taxi's :lol:

What a nice day it was thanks Mike. As a new boy I didn’t really know what I was doing but after watching some of the GRT drivers going off the line I felt much better. Also I was given some tips about the lights and then put in a typical beginners luck start along with some red light starts. What would this car do without the heavy body kit, electric seats, aircon, roll cage, HICAS, etc etc and better tyre and driver? We may never know

Further supported by the 'Hall of Fame' figures.
After 12 and a bit seconds your car is doing 118mph. After 15s my car was doing 93 mph so after 12s probably 85mph - 33mph slower! And my car feels reasonably quick on the road. I do remember when I did Santa Pod I had a 280ZX clutch in good condition but it slipped a bit (due to the power over a 280!!!).

There is a decimal place rule - A 12.2 is assumed as 12.2999 not 12.2000.
Steve is correct, no slip was handed in on the day but was witnessed and it was an important time to record.
In the event of an equal elapsed time, the higher terminal speed will be higher placed on the table.

I think it was back in 2006 when we introduced The Hall of Fame.
Using magazine archive material it started with about 55 cars which had achieved a sub 15 second run.
We now have 80 entries, so only 20 left before we hit the 100 cap and people start to drop off the end.
I wonder how many years that will take ?

2... At the most. I'm pretty sure it's gonna start gathering momentum now as a few peeps have been posting up the newest 'Legendary' times all over the shop and generating interest with it (I think Steve's time was the clincher, as it got a lot of peeps thinking "how the hell?"). We really need to start getting video up of the runs. I'm working on a way 'round that as we speak.
