I have a video of this running at a RYWB at Santa Pod and when the gearbox locked into gear, saw it run 13.58@98.83mph.
I take it you're either Joff or Norman?

thank you , we are running around 12.7 to high 13's for the over 200 bhp cars on treads ,its a bit variable with people having different weight cars and different tyres , but it all sounds pretty comparable ,power wise.
gearboxes have also proven to be a weak point for some. hence my car uses an open diff and old falkens lol.

It's surprising what difference it makes in the 1/4 times with another driver weighing in more . That's why Norman couldn't get near my times . There no point making a car lighter if you weight 20 stone . It's far cheaper to go on a diet .
........AJB your name is ?

You might remember I had a Rottweiller called Norman, your mate thought it was an odd choice.
