Pics from Santa Pod

A few pics from Santa Pod today

A few of my attempts. Oh and it's MUCH harder to get right than it looks

Do you mind me asking what your times were?

Do you mind me asking what your times were?

After a load of 14s runs I got a best of 13.9s @ 101.33mph, but still with a 0.6s reaction
I think with a good start I could have got down to about 13.5s today.

That's still a tidy time! Was it dry out there today? I was up in Birmingham today and it was fairly drizzly all day...

It was dry but I did hear a few people complain about a fair old headwind knocking the times down a bit.
I was a little shocked how hard it was to get under 14s to be honest, it's a lot harder to launch an M at the pod than you'd think, it sounds like the diffs trying to escape at times

I know what you mean. I've only run at the Pod once, and that was in my old Tuscan S - and in that I managed only a 13.6 (should have been capable of 12s..). It is very tricky to get a good launch!

Looks like it was a good day though!

Nice one James, good to see you were edging ahead on the pics!

Was that peppernick's Z4M Roadster you pictured as well?

Jay I have to confess I've only posted the pics where I'm edging ahead, you might be surprised how well a 540 touring can get off the line
Yes that was peppernicks car, I didn't get chance to meet him as I spent half the day queuing for the strip. I think I saw peppernick get a 13.6s run.
