Excellent, might be in the 12's by the end of the day going by terminal speed and if you say it was a poor start.

13.1sec was his best but run 114.3mph on a 13.2sec run should be 12.9sec 1/4" is he get it launching better.
his best 60ft's were high 2.3s and 2.4s
should be able to get 2.1 or2.2's with the right launch.

he is chaufed though managed to beat a brace of m3's and m5's

Can't wait to get mine up there again!

Mmmmmm............... Are you going to be the one that bans a Mod then ?

Seriously - As Neil and Andy will tell you I am all for the Rover boys doing well, and I actually had more crowd support from the Rover crew last year than anyone else

I'm running a CRX because its a lot lighter than the Cabriolet. I was entered in the Cab for TOTB1 but it blew just before the event so I've actually never been to Elvington with a Rover

After this years TOTB4 I will be putting my efforts into converting the Cab to 1800 turbo vtec power - and then we might see me in a fast Rover again.

I was at POD last Sat and watched Bob nail those BM's, he was soooooooo very close to the 12's too, had a little chat with him before he left and I'm sure he'll be in the 12's very soon.
Car looked and sounded great, well done Bob.

Any news on Mike T's times?

180 Boy · Post by **180 Boy** » Wed Apr 06, 2005 6:39 pm

Didn't see Mike?
I was in the ZS180, ran it too

I understood Mike was going and did keep an eye out for him

I never made it, the car had to go back to the bodyshop and they never finished it by the Saturday.

As it happens i never made the lastest mapping session anyway as i was in France again for work.

My car hates me
