Opps, But did you have fun tho that is the important thing. Been there with inconsistant gearchanges myself one of the reasons I converted mine to Cable as could not afford missing gears especially with the amount of nitrous I run and causing over revs, Im sure I have a datalog showing almost 10K rpm from a missed shift.

Thanks for the email david I will dig out my old time slips for when I was D16 powered,Your 60fts look respectable I think I managed to get into the 1.9s a couple of times but mainly sitting at 2.0 on a RWYB day like yourself, I was on street tires tho I take it you were on the slicks.

The commentator did say that he hoped the very quick GTM (presumably you) would show up .


Sorry to disapoint but mine is defiently the slowest GTM at the minute as the engine is out, Im still doing project workshop.

Was the Other GTM also a coupe and was it Colin?

It was a red coupe in roadgoing trim and driven principally by the son and also by the Dad with I think times of around 20 seconds. I think his name is Colin

Next year I am going to take Kermit assuming it is going by then (or indeed still going) and see what it will do with 300+ bhp.

My 60 foot times have always been pretty good, it is in the remaining 1,260 feet that the problems become evident.
