[QUOTE=T5frankie;617573][COLOR="#FF0000"]did you finish in front of me?[/COLOR] did your missus? no...thank you............... i still state that i did not get a 15.2, i would of had to finish behind you to get over a second slower, think about it[/QUOTE] No, because you jumped the start, have you forgotten already?
[QUOTE=stribo;617585]No, because you jumped the start, have you forgotten already?[/QUOTE] not by a second look at the video
tbh surly on that track no matter what car is raced against what ever it maybe One gets a 13.58 or whatever and the other persons car gets 14 summit then the quicker car of the 2 is the one which does a 1/4 the fastest?
[QUOTE=merc85;617590]tbh surly on that track no matter what car is raced against is said car what ever it maybe gets a 13.58 or whatever and the other persons car gets 14 summit then the quicker car of the 2 is the one which does a 1/4 the fastest?[/QUOTE] Oh yeah, I agree Gav, it's funny to me that after all the build up with Frankie giving it the biggun, when we raced I beat him, and he was so determined to win he jumped the lights. :D
[QUOTE=T5frankie;617589]not by a second look at the video[/QUOTE] I think you said it better than me. [QUOTE=T5frankie;617401]according to the time and thats what i have to go on stribo 1 frankie 0, bring on the pod[/QUOTE] :D
If frankie jumped the lights, then he lost that race by default. But he did get the fastest times of the day.
I don't want to be the one that sticks up for Frankie ;) but everyone was struggling to stage over there!! the lights were on a poxy bit of the track,loads of people were staged ready to go but rolling forwards slightly causing a red light......I saw half a dozen people do it,and like I said to my lot on the way home....north weald is finished,they're just not as professional as they used to be so santa pod will be my new hunting ground :D
cos stribo or me cant take losing can people watch this and tell me what they think and who they think won, i think my time was wrong look at the video i leave approx 0.2 seconds before stribo i was in front the whole race, i was 10mph faster than him at the end which meant i was pulling away towards the end yet he got a time 1 second quicker than me, it doesnt make sense.... 1.so i only started 0.2 ahead 2.i led the whole race 3.i pulled away over the 2nd 1/8th 4.10mph faster at the end 5.lost by a second which is a lot of distance at 103mph i should have been way behind him to get that time [video=youtube;LsIf28cD1Go]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LsIf28cD1Go[/video]

[QUOTE=WOODY T5;617619]should of come along to this could of cleaned up again lol[/QUOTE] i would have turned the boost up to danger levels lol
Obviously the false start caused an issue, as it sometimes does at avon. The false start meant frankie lost race, but i could see that the cossie was pulling away. I don't see the issue though as FASTEST time of the day was a 13.58.......which was frankie.
[QUOTE=merc85;617614]You lost that race by "default" even tho the sierra is the quicker car, Overall you and your car Won the day and that makes your Sierra quicker than the s60r all day long.[/QUOTE] quicker than any s60r mate,
wot again lol thought that cossy of yours was faster then my t5 mate
I'm not racing you in my unmapped C70, that would be madness. I'll be in the S60R.
yeah but i want to know if people think i lost that race by over a second looking at the vid
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;617629]wot again lol thought that cossy of yours was faster then my t5 mate[/QUOTE] slipping clutch mate, good clutch and 1.5 bar would be a even race i reckon, still only a t3 turbo remember

19t here mate is that a small turbo?
[QUOTE=T5frankie;617632]slipping clutch mate, good clutch and 1.5 bar would be a even race i reckon, still only a t3 turbo remember[/QUOTE] Considering your cossie is 4wd though, are you not even more impressed that deans car can d0 13.3s@110mph?
[QUOTE=LiamT4;617633]Rich's car used to be quicker........that was a while ago now though lol[/QUOTE] no richards car was faster once iirc he has only done a 13.3 once , still slow top end like all s60r are
the timing gear is shocking over there mate,my dads first run was a 16 summit but his next was 14.8!!!! and later on they couldn't give terminal speeds in the left lane.....like I said,north weald is finished I think they been using the same timing gear from when I was knee high to a grasshopper lol
[QUOTE=LiamT4;617637]Considering your cossie is 4wd though, are you not even more impressed that deans car can d0 13.3s@110mph?[/QUOTE] deans car is what we are all chasing mate, it was nice to get near his time even though it dont really count lol

[QUOTE=T5frankie;617640]deans car is what we are all chasing mate, it was nice to get near his time even though it dont really count lol[/QUOTE]u did ok mate but it takes a 4wd to keep up;)
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;617651]u did ok mate but it takes a 4wd to keep up;)[/QUOTE] yeah but less power, i think you have a secret 4wd system or nitrous
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;617651]u did ok mate but it takes a 4wd to keep up;)[/QUOTE] when you coming to pod then dean?

[QUOTE=T5frankie;617662]not if its secret lol[/QUOTE] Yeah, they don't look in the boot do they. Surely someone would have noticed it under the bonnet if fitted...............come to think of it though i can't remember ever having looked myself and does he post any engine pics?????

[QUOTE=T5frankie;617662]not if its secret lol[/QUOTE] I thought that too. Secret NOS that everyone knows about, just isn't a secret
btw i have worked it out if i was travelling at 104mph over the line and i lost by 1 second i would of needed to be 46 metres behind you less the .2 jump i had at the start, but if i got a true 15.2 i would have finished behind you.
I think the timing boards are rubbish at north weld then .so frankie got a 16.5 at 22mph in his cossie lol
[QUOTE=smithy;617726]I think the timing boards are rubbish at north weld then .so frankie got a 16.5 at 22mph in his cossie lol[/QUOTE] when i saw the pictures i did wonder how accurate the set-up is, especially as i assume the timing gear is packed up & moved for each event.
[QUOTE=T5frankie;617765]pmsl i wondered how long it would take someone to say about that, i wanted to be with everyone else in the queue not 50 cars back[/QUOTE] And because of that, you got to race me, and lost, now that's what I call karma. Lol
If the timing mech is shafted then as it stands Frankie lost by default. So, all you need to do is have a rematch.
[QUOTE=LiamT4;617659]I thought they put another letter on cars with nos at 1/4miles, for safety reasons?[/QUOTE] no, depends on event. sometimes it is by cylinders, others by power adding and 2 or 4wd . last time i think i was in C, whilst everybody else was in B
[QUOTE=stribo;617769]And because of that, you got to race me, and lost, now that's what I call karma. Lol[/QUOTE] i finished 1st that means i won, end of
[QUOTE=T5frankie;617784]i finished 1st that means i won, end of[/QUOTE] You jumped the start which means you lost.
got to love those amateurs who red light and blow the whole run ..............
[QUOTE=stribo;617789]You jumped the start which means you lost.[/QUOTE] i'm 100% positive my light was green mate, oh well roll on the next one, ill beat you in my 850r lol

[QUOTE=T5frankie;617792]any other track you run a red light you don't get a time[/QUOTE] i've got a slip from the pod with a time after i jumped the start, think it added about 2second to the run
[QUOTE=p fandango;617795]i've got a slip from the pod with a time after i jumped the start, think it added about 2second to the run[/QUOTE] interesting if you watch the video he says shame i jumped the red light, implying that there may be a penalty?
it depends on if they have it set to club (rywb ) or professional start - professional you get nil point , no nothing, zip, no point in jumping the start, you get an elapsed time from when you move even if u sit there for 5 seconds.
[QUOTE=T5frankie;617796]interesting if you watch the video he says shame i jumped the red light, implying that there may be a penalty?[/QUOTE] just looked it was Avon i jumped the light. I'd got a reaction time of -0.243, but my 60ft time was 3.220 (my worst ever 60ft time) so had certainly added time right at the beginning of the run
