Hi all well i just thought i would share some details about my weekend at the Hot Rod Drags in my other car, well i got there about 1pm on friday and got 6 runs in before putting the tent up! ive made a few changes to the car recently and wanted to just see how it went before useing the gas, my previous best without gas was 14.7,but i managed 13.8-13.7 launching softly also the shift from 2nd to 3rd is very lazy, anyway we turned the gas on later and sorted the timing, with just 100bhp shot we got a 13.4 then 13.3 so all going the right way, sat was a total wash out, but sunday we played with the timing again and added some powerpoor, i launched abit harder this time but it felt strange then i realised my foot wasnt all the way to the floor! lol at the end we clicked off a 13.22, so i came back round and was one of the last to run, well this time it was shit or bust, i was next to a very quick mk1 RS2000 with a cossie turbo lump which i had seen before, when the lights went i was on the gas from the off and the escort was in front but not by much so i thought either he is going slow or it was a quick run....... well i lost but only just but i didnt complain as my timing ticket read....... 12.56!!!!!!! chuffed to say the least!!!! and all this with an old FMX gearbox thats been in the car for years untouched!! to top the whole weekend off nothing fell off or broke and i drove it all the way there done 8 runs and drove it home! a round trip of about 280 miles! i will post some pictures very soon.....
