Looks like you had a great time, plenty runs and really consistent. One thing I cannot get my head round is, how you can have a faster end speed with a slower time. Probably fairly obvious but it evades me.
Well done on your PB.

This picture shows me on the right with a much lower terminal speed but quicker time than the guy in the left lane, he was on some kind of BMW RR thing so was struggling with the launch then building up speed on the latter part of the run, where as I have all the torque low down and give it the beans.......or as they say the light went green and "ah wus off like a prom dress" lOl

I'll be at the track this Sunday for the first outing of the year, it's a bit of a pain that the only option of paying is to book online beforehand :evil:
