I will be going other way round the āparking lotā aka M25.
but really keen to see some other guys there so im well chuffed now. Lets just hope the old girl holds out and doesnt drop her belly on the start line :oops:
Whassat about 5 from the club now, with 4 cars
Iām a definate now, spoke to me old mate & heās allowed out to play for the day
Good day out, nice to meet you Julian and sorry I didānt get round to the others, did give one or two of you a wave though, my mate with the brown beetle started off a bit poor with 14s but finished the day with a 12.9 beating a scooby in the process, I think the wind was a big factor early on, the better times came later when it dropped. I saw a couple of GTās go up, was it Fastbike who ran a 13.9 or something?
Kev
Brill day out, i only got to meet elton & saw whoever it was in the silver one.
Got a little phone video of eltonās run from the start line, not very good but worth a few seconds to watch.
Moved to past events
Hey guys,
Nice too meet you all, Thanks for a great day out. Jules that is a nice motor you got there buddy. Defo turn some heads driving her around. Thanks for the company Turbomart and friends, Also 321Jonh, nice to meet you hope you gonna come lay down some rubber with me next time
Well for a first time on the track I think it didnt go to bad. First run was my best at 13:83 @101mph. Then i wanted more and turned the boost up a little,ā¦Result ? SLOWER !!! Got little frustrated and tweaked just a tad more boost,ā¦ Result ?? EVEN MORE ā ā ā ā ā ā SLOWER !!!
Any way to cut a long story short here, I found on the way home that the boost controller flashed red every time I buried my foot down. Fiddled with the settings and found why I went slower when I turned up the boost.
The guy who had the controller before me had set it to scramble at 1.2 bar for 4 seconds in every WOT. So every time I floored it, it would overboost and cut down to jsut above stock boost :evil:
now I have set it up properly she was running like the devil on the way home. Too little ā¦too late
here are a few pics from today

Standard fuel system, thats why my times got worse as i tried to tweak the boost a little.
Was still a good day out though. Must do it again sometime guys

Let me know when you guys are going back and may well take mine down the track.
Where were you hiding John?
