Just ran 12.7 at Tarlton. Been a while coming buddy & you have been plagued with bad luck & irritating little glitches, but it was only a matter of time before the tide turned. Congrats, awesome time, N54 FTW!

Nice times, especially at tarlton!!!
What was your trap speeds?

Thanks man, my exit on the 12.7 was 178. I was expecting a slightly higher exit and not to drop under 180 at all but there was strong head wind. The track bite did not get up to temperature neither so I was tapping off a bit at the end of first and beginning of second. I know if it hooks up I get a 182-184. I was also full weight (my car has electric seats @39kg each) with half a tank of fuel.

Thanks guys. I checked over my Vbox logs for the day and surprisingly I suffered from quite a bit of wheel spin in first and second. End of the day power is nothing if you cannot put it down. I still have more power in the bag but I want to experiment on a nice day where there is decent traction and not a headwind. The headwind greatly affected my exit speed as I can see the G's the car pulls in 3rd and fourth is lower than normal. I should see a 12.5 with my current setup and lower once and if I ever install meth. Then I will have to think carefully about upgrading the turbos or waiting for the new M5.

Its always been running like this. The only time I had bad luck was the day of the gticlub with a leaking DV. I have run 13.0@180 on a Friday night and I only recently got my MSA license to be able to attend a decently prepared track. Now I am addicted hehe.:excited:
