Tiv's at Fighting Torque

[RUSSELLM]

4 Cerbs, 3 Griffs, 1 Chim & A spectator Wedge

Results are on Fighting Torque's website.

My 4.2 Cerbera, now run in from it's rebuild at 'Power'.

Best run, run 9, 1/4 mile 12.64, standing mile 31.64, terminal speed 161.53

Congrats to the twin turbo'd Viper that recorded a 199.98 in the first five competitive runs. I can't get back on to the FT site at the moment, to see if he did any 'fun runs' & beat it.

Some mighty impressive cars there. The GTR's doing everything effortlessly

How could I forget the Beautiful camera car.

Nelly's gorgeous Tuscan S

[nelly1]

I thank you...

[RUSSELLM]

Better than that, I've just had a quick thumb through the results. I think I caught you on your worst run

You've got some 12.4 1/4 miles along with Tim's Griff.

You've also got some 31.1 mile's in & A 163mph terminal.

The Speed Six Cerb did A 31.59 & A 162.82 as well.

Just read your thread on the 11.XX run, that's mighty impressive.

Nelly, have you had a go at the 1/4 mile anywhere else ?

Santa Pod, years ago in the freezing cold - best I managed was a 12.5 IIRC.

The track was like glass - I'd love a go when it's good, hot and sticky

hi John, it was a brilliant day, i think i had at least 15 runs,
the slow V8's did alright against the speed six engines, if nick had turned up in his blown chimaera he would have been in the 11's i reckon.
the griff's launch really well but run out of puff at 150mph, so good 1/4's
but lowish terminal, still a 32 sec standing mile, not too shabby for a rover

Not bad at all...for any road car that can be driven to the shops and back.

11.72 @ 122.
If i get a longer diff over the winter then i aim to have a go at this next year.
Are there any fighting torque guys coming to Shakey on 5th/6th Sept?

[RUSSELLM]

Blimey, something TVR related where I don't have to travel the usual 500 miles

Do I just turn up on the day or can I book it ?

[450Nick]

Sorry I couldn't come in the end Tim! Had a big family do on the Sunday and wasn't allowed to play

I think the car would be capable of 11's but not sure about myself! I've never tried to 'launch' it properly so there's a good chance I'd sit in a cloud of smoke for the first couple of seconds!

Maybe next year...! In other news, I've just booked tickets to Sweden to go see the Tuscan in a couple of weeks before I close the deal. Can't wait to get started!

Another slow old RV8 here


Was very pleased with my times on the day & amazed at how close mine & Tims were


Good to see everyone
