11.19 bloomin heck thats quick. Cars have to have road tyres too don't they, so that car could be in the 10's with slicks.

Ah appears that it was 11.94 - but he was running 12.9-13.1's all day.

So maybe a faulty reading. Also it was a 125mph terminal - seems a bit slow for a 11.9 run.

It was geared for top speed, which i believe he won.

Also it didnt last the day ??

I am amazed at the Astra - yes it was a bareshell, with a few trick bits - but basically a standard head and block with huge amounts of nitrous pumped in for a 12.6.

It would appear that more should be done to enforce the rules though - lots of non-pump fuel being used :P
