cheery guys , no realy pics as my mate who does the photos let me down at last minuite,
got to pod for 8ish signed on and sorted car out , 9.30 and the track opened, they preped it quite good for once , first run wasent expecting much and it felt like i could of done quite a bit better , got informed that i had done a 10.6, but thought everyone was winding me up , so got the time sheet
was made up , think that now makes it the fastest corsa b in the uk
went back out a few more time and alt belt decided to let go and went to start it just near the line and nowt so new belt and it charged back up
went back out but they were being so strict as i had a oil leak and in total i only managed 4 runs in the day as they kepted telling me to go and sort the leak out but all times wire in the 10s so its getting constant 10's now
the plan was to get down to pod once more as i know the car in its current state has a 10.4 in it but since the leak has got worse there is no point as they wont let me run with it and to sort the leak the bottom of the block needs skimming so thats winter job, so very pleased with the 10.6 aim now it to get into the 9s next year even if its a 9.999999999999999
couple of intresting cars were there today had come all the way from germany for it
polo vr6 turbo 900ish i think was running low 9s
vw running a vr6 turbo lump again 4x4 , 1300bhp , lad was only running it at 900bhp as it wasent griping , was doing low 9s again
