Something feels different ahead of the forthcoming weekend.
Looking forward to using some of these for a change....

I decided not to use nitrous today and see how the car runs NA. Times gradually fell from 12.7's to a best at the end of the day when I got beat by an 8 second monster! Ran 12.4142 @ 111.08

The (your) engine gave me 4 mph more terminal from the 308 bhp it showed on Dales rolling road on Saturday. The times were helped by the Nitron suspension also.

The bad luck is not over yet sadly. We lost a fellow racer and a personal friend who I always camp next yo at York....

Really sorry to hear the tragic news, a great loss at such a young age. My thoughts are with his family and friends. frown

Stay safe and fast people!
