Thanks for posting them; I know it takes a bit of time to do it al!

How did the rest of your class fare? Sure I've seen that Cossie before.
Also, how did the Anglebox do?

A little bit of sideways motion off the line

I position my car well to the left of the track/start line - to get the nose as "straight on" to Hall Corner as much as possible.

Leant alot watching the vid of Rob's launch (when he takes 2nd gear).

Chuffed the pics and vids came out ok.

I got quite a lot of wheel spin on that launch which I rarely get so I short shifted to second, I would normaly run first right upto 8k revs before shifting second to get right in the meat of the rev band to drag it up the incline. It was a 1.99 64ft in yor vid, I got a 1.85 later in the day whenthe grip returned by using all of first gear.

Rob.

Some great picture.

but do us a favour, when posting use the option at the bottom of the list of each picture, it's the one with IMG (for forums and bulletin boards), just copy and paste the info.

like this one, saves having to click on each picture and in my case wait whilst it loads (seems to take ages since the new format)
