  • I’ve entered into the 2022 Sportsman ET drag racing championship at Santapod raceway! I will be running at the festival of power on easter weekend and hope to film some of it for you! This is a quick film about me taking some weight out of the golf and explaining about the journey so far. Its been fairly stressful but we’ll get there!

    This is exciting. Best of luck and hope all goes well. I admire how you take on new challenges will look forwards to seeing how you progress.

    Curtains in the Land Rover? If the Rover's a'rocking don't come a'knocking 🤣

    I was worried it might break something on a prepped surface. Good luck. Keep it between the walls.

      It’s all good man, it ran like a champ! Also was out testing with the C63 yesterday and that’s an absolute machine once the tyre pressures are dialled in 👌

    Personally I’d of stuck with the c63 if that’s what you intend to compete with and rolled it off the line. You want to gain experience and get comfortable, swapping cars won’t help with that. Good luck though 👍 I’m running around 10.30 at pod.

      After racing festival of power this weekend, I agree that swapping cars isn’t ideal. But the golf was far more consistent than you’d think it would be! And racing in a manual has some bragging rights associated with it haha. I think learning in a slower manual car helped me personally. But the C63 is entered into springspeed and I’m back testing RWYB this week. 10.50 is mega fast! What car?

      @@CarThought on a bike, S1000RR. Ran low 12’s in my manual M2. Getting the launch right in a manual is rewarding in its self!

    Pull the passenger head rest - certainly a kilo or so...

    "Are heated" or "were heated"?

      They’re still working 😂 it was a bracket that I clipped itself

    Too heavy to be properly quick at drag racing.
    You’ll likely have a slow ET (for the power) and a reasonable high terminal speed that you will see lighter cars achieve with less power and shorter ET.

      That’s why bracket racing is so good. The speed of the car has very little to do with who wins 👍
