In the old circuit I would get to around 165 - 168 down the front straight, and 175ish down the back straight. My ex-wife could just hit 180 before she had to brake for the hairpin (She did like revving the nuts off it! I was more sympthetic as I had to fix it if it broke!).

Yup, just notify me in advance next time so I don't miss it =P

Working on proper bolt on mounts for the logger now instead of the hack job we did with zipties and tape.

Meremere Dragway

Slight improvement since the previous time.

13.6 @ 110mph - (lots of room to improve the launches were very soft)
:D

Okay, Wee1 has entered the Superlap series with quite a few mod's planned so hopefully we can start to sse some reduced laptimes....

Apparently there are a number of MX5's entered in the series so keep your eyes out.

I have no idea who or with what yet so look forward to meeting any of you.

Great to see you going up the hill again! The car sounds really good. Have you improved on your times from previous years at all?

Yes, have more or less dropped a second to a second and a half each time.

Mostly from learning the course better each time I think....though we had slightly more power this time...though not a lot more.

Tyres have been the same set each time the past 3 years, Nitto NT01's, a year older again but still performing (which is amazing tyre life).


New PB today Hampton Downs National track 1.14.337. Hankook z semi's..
