Another PB and European record today.
1st run off the trailer and got a 9.5 second pass at 158 mph.
There was still a lot left on the table as the 60' was only a 1.6, lazy gear changes and wheelspin right through 2nd gear!
The downside is that as I crossed under the gantry the powered steering pulley came off and as I got back to the pits the crank pulley came off too. This could mean piston to valve contact so the day was over unfortunately.
The 60' was 1/10th slower and the 330' 0.11 slower than my 9.7 @ 145 mph run yet the 1/8th was pretty much identical and 2/10ths quicker in the 1/4.
Previously when I did the 9.7 the car was only running 682 hp yet today it was running 995 hp. Given the terminal I do believe there was a much quicker time in the car today.
