Santa pod times

[toymex]

I am no expert at 1/4 miles it was my first go at the weekend but my slips vary so much but the ETs are all within a few tenths,on my first 3 runs i missed 3rd gear eachtime (crap linkage and too much adrenaline) but still managed 15.6 ,15.7 ,15.8,the 15.7 was at 98.34mph now i cant believe for 1 that my car could get to 98mph in a 1/4 mile let alone when i missed 3rd,and my best run when i did get 3rd i did a 15.3 at 91mph ,60ft is similar on both runs as is 330ft and 1000 but on the run that says 98mph the 1/8th mph is slower at 68 this cant be right can anyone explain or have similar slips:thumb:

Whats the engine spec?
Theres no way you would hit a 98 terminal in a NA 1300 8v IMO

For example, 20xe novas only get terminals around 95....

I got given the wrong slips for all my runs.

[ste porter]

my xe was 14.2 at 98 mph so if your 1300 is doing that its going some

I got given the wrong slips for all my runs.

the same happend to me mate, i noticed a little while later and went and changed them lol

[toymex]

This is what i thought Adam its quite a high spec but it just doesnt make sense to me it was r/r at track and road it only made 100bhp but the timing was a mile out it has made 113bhp at tourque of the devil and they read quite low i would guess at the very most its got 120bhp,my i did two 15.3,s one at 80.24 and one at 91.23 mph something doesnt seem right to me and i wonder how accurate the timing is and i cant beleive it would do 98 mph and thats with a 2.5 60ft

[toymex]

They have all got the right car number on them,and the time at which they were run seem about right

[Adam]

As said, i only did a 15.7 @ 89, with around 125-130bhp.
And my 60ft times are lower than yours, so in theory i should of done a lower time than you. A lots down to driver skill though.

So id put money on there timing gear screwed up the time/speed for some reason. A guy on mig posted a video of his nova with a terminal of 143mph........ Lol Which is clearly wrong.

Was it a Sport? I saw one spanking it a few times down the strip and that was puling mid/low 15s... Dont know the terminal though..

Sounded like it had a SCCR too...

[toymex]

yes m8 its a sport and that was me and my brother ,9 runs between us ,it has got a sccr box and slipper it was built for hillclimbs etc there was a vid on here a while ago of a previous owner at harewood hill

[Steve]

Got a link for the video? Sounds pretty good for a 1300

[toymex]

NICE, that'll be helping times too.
More power @ the wheels/better grip :cool:

[Jack]

I caught a vid of a Sport going up the strip, which seemed pretty quick - might have been yours?
