The rears were spinning as i have the type R with DCCD. It was in the 'open' position, that means 2/3rds of the power goes to the rear which can spin up the wheels.
I normally lock the diff for launching (not burnout) but forgot to on this occassion however even with monster wheelspin it was easy meat cuffing the Zen car Which if anyone didn't know, is my old car

Andy, that picture was taken on your burnout and not your launch wasnt it?

 

Not sure Steven All I remember on both the burnout and the launch was a distant white car amongst the mist in my rear mirror

 

If you watch the in car video, I have the diff lock on the RH steering wheel button, for the launch proper my finger is firmly on the button right up to the point I dump the clutch..... then for some reason which even I don't understand, I let it go and at that point you can hear the car bouncing off the rpm limiter, presumably wheelspinning ?

 

Thats why i thought the picture was the warm up, i thought you held the button longer, off to check again

 

Definately let go after you launched, and mid way through 1st. I recall seeing smoke after your warm up, but not after you proper launch.

 

nice videos. Not as impressive as watching AndyF from outside the car in the grandstand though Any one got a video with an outside view?

 

Unfortunaly missed Andy.Fs Run in person ,From watchin the vid very impressive
Did see Pavlos runs though,rite Monster that car is again very impressive
Good day for the Scooby's this time round!

 

My obvious mistake was to start 2 car lengths behind the start...

 

but who's going to be the 1st to get into 9s?

Not stirring or anything

 

Well andy seems to be putting all his time and effort into doing it at the moment! I will be very surpised if he doesn't manage it this or next weekend.

I have not even looked at the car since Monday, may get some time on Sat afternoon if I'm lucky

Andy

 

Might give me some time to apply all the cheats that you have then

 

Well, the shell of it was at least Moray has what's left of the long engine, I've got the inlet manifold (suitably modified ie tidied up and filler removed ) and the gearbox isn't exactly as you had it

Mind you, I guess there's someone on here who can lay claim to you getting where you are with his old blue car

(PS you can have your spoon back now )
