Oh dear what a night of issues So im in line for my first run and adrenalin pumping, 6th car Chris (Rapid) is in front of me and officials(walked up to me!!!) are telling people to close there bonnets and strap on helmets and to prepare as usual, I get to front while they let Chris go and BINGO!!! my car gets ticked for its first run and have been told to go back around and put on the F### long sleeve shirt

My bad totally forgot to wear it . Only thing I was pissed over was that the first guy who told me to prepare for the strip could of warned me! Anyway long sleeve's on and ready again within 10 to 15 mins ,now all I am is paranoid that iv'e missed something , so did a short stint at the burnout pad and noticed a unfamiliar cough and splutter thought maybe im hearing things because of the helmet and proceeded to line up against a Skyline R32. Iv'e built up boost and rev'ed to 2000 rpm and launched ! it took off good and noticed again some coughing through the gears at high RPM my R/T was poor .727 and 0 to 60 was 2.005 but it just couldn't follow through ! Ended up with a 12.9 at 99.8 MPH I thought it was great for me to get a 12 second pass on my first go(smashed the R32 though) but sh*t man if it didn't stuff up through the top end I could swear I'd crack a high 11. Second run was poor as but my R/T was better .307 and a 13 at 106Mph , still having issues and decided if the 3rd run was poor I'd park it . And it was just a 12.9 at 99.80MPh . Either its fuel issues or pump issues its back at the workshop. Although iv'e got the BUG now and want more!!!!

Well done fellas keep it up with perseverence ,this sport is very rewarding when all goes well , but when gremlins appear you wish you you had another hobby.I went to a private track day on sat Sept17th with the gt club,and had a bastard of a day with 30 degree temps and issues,so this is no game for the faint hearted lol

Awesome time on street tyres Matt, what mods and power do you have?

Pretty big list of mods mate, power on that night was around 390 - 400 rwkws. I did not bother putting in the bigger tune as it just would have ended up in a power skid show!

here's a vid of one of my runs last night!
