I need more power. 181 mph is all I can do so far.
I'm thinking estate aeros aren't as good as a saloon's. Craig got 193mph on his first run and took a trip into the shrubbery lol.

You're right about the estate vs saloon aero. You're probably .02 or .03 worse on cd which is pretty significant at "elevated" speeds.

What a great day and to share it with a top bunch of fellas. Really good to see Alex and Marty who I haven't seen in a really long time, really looking forward to seeing some of Marty's magic with his camera later.
Thanks to Justin for meeting up this morning and convoying down with me and Ben, always great to see you mate. Rash, you are a total legend and I just want to know the secret of how you can get your car looking cleaner and more shiny every time I see it.
Here's to the next meet and already looking forward to it.
Oh and my runs went 182 mph, 183 mph 184 mph 184 mph 183 mph 183 mph..... just couldn't crack 185 so POA for next time is to drop a stone in weight and give my old girl a bit more of a fighting chance. Think I sounded good though LOL

Just got home. Another really good day catching up with old members and meeting new ones I've read for ages but never actually met, like Benjy and Suki etc.
My runs were all 178-181 after my sighting lap. A passenger makes a 3 mph difference,and my 21st ass has effectively a built in passenger lol.
I'm sure one of my ones was given to Acid (182mph) who was directly behind me, mine was recorded as NR (not recorded). All of Acid's other runs were in the mid 160s with 167 being the best.
Another highlight was getting an amazing start against ChrisA and beating him to the line, even if he was going 5mph faster over it lol. I guess this helps the theory that the estate aeros suck as I didn't gain nearly as much speed as him last the 1 mile marker.
Oh, and the last run of the day was a due to a very pleasant chap in his new 621hp Bentley Continental Speed wanting to race somebody. So I surely obliged and left him at the startline gently walked away from him to the line going 4mph faster.
Oh, and I'm sunburn t again.

1,200 hp Supra at 205mph (at 3pm, might have changed).
Fastest MB was Craig by far, 193mph, which was his sighting run into the shrubbery. I saw him get another 190mph and a NR time I think.
Bruno wasn't too happy, 184mph sighting run but then suffered some technical issues. His car was probably the loudest one there though lol.
aceJ was the fastest all morning until Craig turned up. In fact he was fastest overall until a 850hp 911 GT2 RS went 201 in the afternoon. He and ChrisA were trading fastest times.
I was actually the slowest of our lot I think
