Mark, what time are you planning on setting off? We're going as spectators as well so if you fancy meeting up to travel up there?

I'm not sure yet. Going to a mates in Bedford and then he's driving up from there....

Bring your umbrellas we can stand around and talk rubbish at least.

Shame Mark - your car still runs though? Are you bringing it to the meet (even as a spectator)?

Car still running fine. Won't be bringing it though. Mate driving his R32 up.

I'll be hiding my Diesel BMW at his house

Is he running the R32? MKIV or MKV?

Post by **MarkB** » Thu May 17, 2007 10:25 am

MKIV and no he won't be running.

Out of interest, those that are running, have you run before? If so,what times have you run previously and what are you aiming for this time (weather permitting

)?

With a fairly sissy launch being nice to my clutch that I want to share some more time with I got a 13.8 or 13.9 cant remember with vag-com, which is why I wonder how a vag-com time compares to other timing. I think that was holding on to 2nd much longer than I should have for the 1/4 mile timing so I could see what sort of 0-60 I got too. Ialso wondered how much over 100mph I would be going at the 1/4 mile mark and if changing to 4th or holding onto 3rd was teh thing to do. Having no idea when the quarter was up I held on to 3rd quite late too. not sure what top speed in 3rd is, must be 100ish?

Simon, I hope they get it sorted and back to you in time! Shame for the BMW to not even make it to the start line!

Might be worth telling them your loaner requirements now so they have time to prepare
