Default Trip to Santapod.

Went to Santapod today for a RWYB, didn't see any other S2000's so I had to hold the side up.

1st run was against some Nissan thing, 13.79@108.73 WIN

Nice. I hope you told them all it was standard

Did you get the nervous racing foot syndrome?

Once you learn to go on the B of the Bang you will be seriously kicking butt!

Clutch leg was trembling a little, need to get the 2 step launch control sorted, too much to think about and no time to do it on the line.

It was a de-badged Audi so it must have been a good one.

The Audi may have beat you... but he was half way down the strip before you even started to moved forward!

Turbonator.

Smile of the day came from the RX8 owner when we were picking up the time slips, he wanted another drag against me as he thought we were quite evenly matched, you sure fella.
