Out of our lot, it would've easily been bubblers6's 720ps C6
He was running low 11's from memory

Fastest car I saw was this bright green boy mobile running low 10's

Hey Bubbles - have you put a 'badboy' mod on your headlights?

I got 12.58s @ 112.5mph, pretty much just rolled away from the line though, room for improvement.

Bubbles C6 did really well, it's a shame some of the RS4's were struggling with grip off the line.

Hi chaps. I had a good day, it would have been a great day had it not been so very busy. Like the rest of you I only managed 3 runs and messed up my starts every time which I'm very annoyed about. I left the timing sheet in my car but I think my best time was 12.2. Anyway, it was a learning experience.

Great to meet a few of you especially Dave who loaned my mate his helmet (sounds dodgy) :)

Let's go again on a quiet day, I'd love to get 10 runs in and feel a little less pressure on the start line.

Here's a video of my (poor) efforts!

For the first run that was impressive :thumbs: my start had some wheel-spin as I launched to high at 4.5/5K - we need to go again and get some more runs ;-)

I think the drag strip highlighted a weekness in the DSG
If you used launch control, you bogged down in wheel spin (maybe better on a warm day/better tyres)
If you just planted your foot, then you've got a reaction time from where the revs rise to the clutch engaging, in which that time you're creaping forward so trip the light and start your time
I did 13.1 @ 110 from memory for my best, but got left on the line by both an Impreza and a boyed up focus RS, both of which I passed before the finish - Silas got a video of me being embarrassed by the Subaru I think ;)
Would love to go again and get a few more runs in to try and get the start dialled a bit better

I got one run in, with the reaction time of my grandma, and she passed away years ago, I would have loved to have done another but it was crazy busy, with a 2 hour wait. Drive to Cherwell was a laugh with Bazza an russ in his merc.

Hey Bazza thanks it's good fun ;-) yeah I have a MRC Stage 2 and all my mods in the signature.

There's a few dates in May which look promising as they have no major events either side. :thumbs:

Sun 17th, Peak Performance Test & Tune Day. Run What Ya Brung open test day with fully prepped track and maximum track time for all serious enthusiasts (I think from memory this is limited to a max number so it's more expensive)

I wish I had taken my old b7 on the strip I had every thing done to mine that gavia has done, just I had the JHM inlet spacers on too, I think with the manual box you you can play around with the revs for launch, with the dsg your fooked, unless you use launch then I think like graham said maybe the temperate of the track might help of it's warmer??
I'm turning into sakimino, oh god help please :shock:

Sakimino's monitor would be completely spoozed over upon seeing this thread.
