What tyre pressures do you run on?

Hello Bob, hope you don't mind me asking, Your 131 mph is a pretty high terminal for an 11.4 run and would suggest perhaps a leisurely 60ft time.. of course you might have been taking it easy on that run but I'd be really interested to know what your best times are and the 60ft stats off the slip.

 

keep thinking about re-entering a round of JDS series in my 300zx TT- mostly to knock out Andre who keeps picking up points in random cars... he was in the final in a borrowed 35. Ever thought about entering or is your car more dedicated track? just wondered..

 

Thanks

I was running 18 psi Saturday dropped to 16 on Sunday

Mine is really a dedicated track car and I just do drag for TOTB. My 60 foot was 1.750 on the 11.4. My best is 11.06 with a 60 foot of 1.54 and the limiting factor for me is the gear changes in particular second to third where I prefer a leisurely change rather than risk killing something. I should manage a 10 second run hopefully at TOTB but I won't be too bothered if it never happens. If you want to beat Andre just join our TOTB team we are competing against GTO and Eurospec who will have Andre running:-)

I had decided to give it a miss this year but it is tempting...

Thank you for all that decided it would be good to turn up this year .. was nice meeting you again

 

But im afraid it may be the last one i will arrange due to the poor turn out and support 27 cars booked .. 10 only bothered to turn up

shame really as its such a good show .. not just for the car owner but the hole family

Hay even got my wife there for the first time and she loved it and shes not in to "Cars"

 

will see what happens for the next show then decided then :(

At last some pix from Japshow. You may have seen the video and here are the photos. The Civic is driven by Amy Bradley who is a well known drag competitor so to have matched her time on a head to head was pretty good I think.
