You are being silly again I have already explained the %age you need to offset as the calculator is designed for an auto box.
Only the terminals are directly related to power, ET's are very technique dependant (lost count how many times I've told you this)

Please take a minute or two to explain to me where the extra 220 kilograms are stored on Stevens car compared to mine I still have the full original interior, soundproofing, heaters etc. I can account for approx 60kg only.
Did he have you and Pat in the back seat ?

Interesting that Michaels Legacy ran 12.08 on a very hot day at Elvington but only ran 12.2 at Crail on a cool day ! I guess we have a conservative 1/4 mile up here as well as rolling road.

Crails terminals have been consistant over the past few years, Elvington seems to be all over the place ?
A run at Santa Pod would be a good idea

Mark, the fluffed change comment was from Steven !

Looking at the vid it's hard to tell, due to the angle it is shot from, the rh lane car is always going to have the illusion of falling back as the viewing angle changes and a gap between the cars appears. As Harvey said, it looks like he is pulling ahead before he is out of 1st gear.

As for the all important reaction time it looks like steven may just have won it

Andy

ps Stevens car was looking a bit smokey ? what sort of rocket fuel mix did you have in there ?

Because of lots of reasons I guess lol:

So & so's car wasnt ready,
my cars a daily driver & his isnt,
my clutch slipped,
the RR wasnt calibrated,
the drag slips too grippy,
the drag strips to slippy,
ok he beat me but he hasnt dont 5,000,000 miles so the cars not proven untill it does,
My car only cost 3p to build & his cost the entire budget of a WRC team,
my wife is on the blob & giving me earache,
I didnt finish the decorating.

Whatever people do, whoever does it - people will ALWAYS but them down for one reason or another, whether they have more BHP than them or not, just pick any of the excuses above...

Constant bickering & digging all the time - its like the Skyline forum on here without the high powered cars

Fantasic live coverage, keep em coming.

If its the same timing equipment from totb then I would be interested if a same car can be run on "each lane" a couple of times to compare terminal speeds becuase at totb there was a noticable difference.

 

Tell Harvey that's fast enough Don't try any harder please

 

Fantastic results!!!

Sub 12 secs =

170mph = parp!!

All in all a top day @ Elvington today. Many thanks to all the organisers & staff who worked really hard to make the day run smoothly.

Hopefully we can make this an annual event as there were a few potential cars that couldn't make it - no excuses accepted though

More data inc reaction times when I get home in 3 hours or so...
