Well guy's I did a 1/4 mile run a few weeks back, to say I was nervous is an understatement. I ran the car in its road trim, thats spare wheel, few tools , just over half a tank of fuel etc so its  pretty much as it would perform on the road.

I did run with the window down as I had my fleece on due to the fact they would not let me run with short sleeved shirt and it was fecking hot . Here is the slip

These times will be bettered with experience, as you can see my 60ft's are a tad high, I sat on the rev limiter a little until I relised I hadnt broke her and that I needed to change up a gear  car performed well which is testement to RB Motorsports work on the car

Excellent results Kev.  You'll be hitting the 10's soon enough.
