I have searched for them hi and low I can only find runs from the Saturday at Avon and they really aren't worth posting up lol.

I did one run on sunday which is the slip I've lost, as usual the best one!

Blimey, your still alive! Been afew years since I picked those wheels up!
Anyway....losing the slip is the poorest excuse I've heard!

Just for Andy heres the Plaque.

Excellent!

Unfortunately my list seems to have gone awol. I have the notepad still though???

From memory.

The Don 230bhp 504bhp/tonne
Matt W 235bhp 313bhp/tonne
Nick 190bhp 295bhp/tonne
Alaskanow 168bhp 291bhp/tonne
Skip 160bhp Didn't weigh it
My Clubby 132bhp 192bhp/tonne

Please post up your numbers guys. I'm really sorry I lost my list.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Bah, you should have weighed the skip.

The Don 230bhp 504bhp/tonne
Matt W 235bhp 313bhp/tonne
Nick 190bhp 295bhp/tonne
Alaskanow 168bhp 291bhp/tonne
Skip 160bhp Didn't weigh it
My Clubby 132bhp 192bhp/tonne
Joe C 0bhp Gay/tonne

At a guess....the skip around 850ish

Skip was full to the rafters with camping stuff tools etc. Couldn't be bothered unloading it.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Did anybody run down the strip? Was it very busy?

I got 4 runs in today, each getting progressivly quicker however I am pretty crap at launching it. It's very different to the van to drive.

I was getting some real bad wheel wobble, then I remembered I spotted the drivers front wheel was buckled while the car was on the rollers.

Swapped to my other pair of wheels and did 1 run with a passenger and a bogged start and it was my quickest run! 15.32 @ 90.15mph on 12.5psi. I reckon if I had ran with the new wheels on my own that there is easily a 14 in the car at that boost level (if i don't fuck up the launch).

My highest terminal was a 15.37 with a terminal of 92.5mph.

I've been having trouble with the carb and very inconsistent fuelling and poor starting so think a rebuild is required.

Was reasonably busy but i reckon you could get 4 runs an hour in if you kept going round.

Sat night looked v.busy though. Alaskanow only did 1 run all night.

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Mt blue blobule (Roberts apt description), although not the most powerful there was certainly the quietest -137bhp 125lb ft.on 15psi
I was told I need more advance and a touch more fuel on 15 psi to get it a lot better.
(96bhp on my "normal 7.5 psi for road use)

Got 6 runs in today all with shocking 60ft times and low terminals. Best was a 14.2 @ 94 with a 2.4 60ft. Had a real good weekend thanks guys

Cheers, rich

2012 Avon class c 2nd place 13.8 @98mph

Broke mine on the way there. The crank damper cracked at the keyway.

had a great weekend, well done to John for sorting it all out :)

Got my first ever trophy for anything, lol

did one run at pod this morning, 14.6 seconds on 15psi and 3/4 throttle in 4th just as a tester to see how it went. then went straight round for my second run, nice big 2nd gear burnout cos i was feeling brave then launched it and it had harlddy any boost, could hear the turbo spinning but it's leaking somewhere, ended up with 10psi by the top of the track and a 15.something run.
Checked all me boost hoses, wastegate, dump valve etc and can't find the problem so packed up and came home.

My head, liver and ribs all still hurt,

a rather lacklustre 147.7 bhp @ 16 pound-he wouldnt run any more as it was warming up-and a car that is bang on 700 tons with camping gear in.

top weekend had a great time

So, what's the concensus on RGS then? apart from the traction issue.

Seemed pretty professional to me.

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."

Fantastic job organising this John - great work :)
