Default 9.63 1/4 mile

Finally made up some ground on Andy.F, running 9.63 at Elvington today. Hoorah for me!

Thanks to David Wallis, Andy.F and Steven.D for their assistance in todays little adventure; Resetting a valve shim after having it jump out on an early run and heavy dose of the rev limiter.

Well done Paul, it always seems somewhat more relaxed when you dont use the Launch control.

Glad you could repair the car "on site" for once, at your level thats quite rare.

Was good to "watch" for once

Timing gear was a bit suspect today, I had some seriously wrong 60' times like 4.70 seconds Not sure if Paul even got a speed for his run ?

Chris mentioned 154mph terminal on the last run, but nothing on the ticket.

Sub 9.30 would be nice
