Walkie talkies charged, cameras at the ready, home made cam corder holder thingy for the car made and finally the helmets polished :lol: :lol: IM READY
Well another great day at Brize and the rain stayed away…unlike the last time.
Did improve on my personal best time a tad doing my best to fly the GTO flag as high as I could…was 4th till the highly modded Fiat Coupe put in a fantastic time (bastard) :lol:
Got trounced a few times on the 1/4 but am still smiling. Beat my previous best 1/4 from elvington. I ran a 15.71 beating the last one which was 15.78 :lol: :lol: small steps first huh!
Anyways im waiting for a vid uploading and will post that as soon as it is ready.
Well done to Graham, he was chuffed to bits when his mapping finally came together. That bloomin fiat coupe was quick!!! Good to meet a couple of new members.
Can i say a big thank you to Marty(Roadkill) for bringing this event to GTOUK. I loved every minute of it. Being part of an operational airfiels etc added so much spice to it.
Anyways couple of pics
Julian and myself waiting for the runway to clear :lol:
Best time sheet
The local machines
Shockingly i agreed to let Anna take a spin, she did start screaming at 120mph that she was going too fast halfway down the runway :lol: :lol:
Thanks again Marty and to Julian for leading the way.
After one of the runs & now waiting for the high speed run.
I had problems with my speed limiter & could not exceed 111mph whether it is intermittant or not I dont know, but on the way back up the M69 myself & Mike chased & overtook a new shape Celica & to say I was exceeding my speed limiter would be an understatement :roll: , All in all I enjoyed myself ( as I do ) at these events, not a very good showing from me, but at least I didnt come last ( nearly ) but at least I had some fun, nice to meet some new faces yet again, thanks for the info on the event Marty
I’ve updated the 2 threads at the top of the datalogging and stats forum (quicklist and 2007/2008 1/4 mile times). If you want to add your time to the list in the garage part of the forum, then you need to add the time yourself to your car’s profile .
