According to the FB post stage 2, 500bhp on pump, 600bhp on ethanol.

Ethanol ftw!

Ecotune as far as I remember - a guy Dani Mihalache from the south

What time does it start?

 

[Cooper]

Think it starts at 10am.

Add a GR Yaris and an M3 @Big Pimp to that list. Looking forward to it!

Might call down and through the big 320d compact up the strip but she'd probably need caged and I like to keep her stealth......

Surely you don’t need a cage fitted.?

 

[Boydie]

Fingers crossed the only rain tomorrow is at 6am

 

[AidanMcG]

@Boydie if you tap on the thermometer, you can select rainfall

 

[Big Pimp]

@Cooper is praying for the rain so his wee granny Yaris can launch against the mighty E46

 

[Cooper]

Be careful not to leave your rear subframe at the start line.

 

[Rigger]

Wouldn't mind going, but have to be at Dublin airport for 2pm.

How long does it take to get to Newry from BC?

Good luck to everyone tomorrow. Sorry ive been quiet, its been a frantic few weeks getting things finalised. I have to say Bishopscourt has never looked so good .

We are all set up here and tested.

Dont forget the clocks go forward tonight

Racing starts from 10am. Please be on time as we have a lot of scrutineering to get through.

Safe travels.

See you all tomorrow.

I look forward to updates from a friend in a budget Honda Civic hoping to get a 15 (point anything) quarter.

He's been buzzing about this season for a long time!

 

[Ben P]

Well, hows it going??

 

[Cooper]

The Toyota stalks its prey.

 

[Ben P]

Ross needs a wee nap lol

 

[Graham]

Any links to live timing?

 

[zafturbo]

What times you get today @Boydie

 

[Big Pimp]

Twice the cc…
Twice the cylinders…


And left on the line

I lit up the rear tyres. The Yaris GRanny edition launched like a scalded cat and it was all over!

I’d have loved a few more runs but it was approx a 40 minute wait from the back of the queue to the front and I just didn’t the have time

Was seriously good fun though and I got a bit of drifting practice at the top on the way back

Well done @56oval on a great days racing

For your first run this year it was brilliantly well done and things like getting car through a bit more quickly will come with subsequent days

Can’t wait until the next one

 

[Big Pimp]

What times you get today @Boydie

Think 9.6 was his times

 

[pablo]

good to witness the friendly (ish) rivalry with @Cooper and @Big Pimp - you could cut the tension with a knife!

(ok Im overegging it here a bit)

If it was judged on "leaving the line style point" Ross would have had it

The 911 Boydie was piloting was absolutely immense. It left the line with such power and aggression!

 

[Arfur]

I just want to know what was done to that grey mk5 golf. Holy **** was that quick!
