Beat me by 2km/h u furker Rich - 15th for me although I got the same top speed as 14th.....

[Hank Scorpio]

I could have picked up a few extra km/h but my car was still running and my brakes weren't cooked, good time to call it a weekend

OK - where are the results? And please don't tell me they are on a forum that I am not a member of or on Face Tube (of which I am also not a member). How about "they are on the official website" so I can access them?

Congrats to those who won stuff. I was not impressed with the timing gear, which didn't work on more than one of my runs, according to those watching. Overall, a good effort by the Antilag guys at a complex event, with some learning points for next year!

I have sent a message to Antilag via the official website. If I hear anything back, I will let you know.

Cheers.

Thanks, mate.

Having managed to run all Saturday on low boost (just 11 psi!! I blame aging vision and small letters on the Profec Spec B in the glove compartment!), I am quite surprised to finish up 17th in the 1/4 mile drag, with

13.106

1.070

169.27

A week later, at the 1 Day Classic Rally, I did a 12.86 with an indicated speed around 190 km/hr (only hand-held timing and no speed recording) - but I do have that on video! I will load it up when I get some time.

So, finally running high boost on the Sunday (22 psi - much better), I beat one of the R35s in the rolling start 800 metre runs - which is on the Antilag video on YouTube. He later ran a 258 km/hr in the 1000m drag. Unfortunately, the timing gear did not work on my first 1000m run but I had an indicated speed around 265 km/hr - and I did not get the camera system working until the following weekend! I had a crap start on the second run, when the timing system worked, so:

23.092

2.392

232.75

and then I could not stay for another run at the 1000m drags (flight to catch that evening). So, it seems like I need to do it again next year!!

That is a gorgeous car! Is that a Barracuda with a hemi? Just like the baddies had in Bullett?

Cheers.
