sometimes you just have to make do with what youve got, yep and as i said before tyres are the major factor in achieving good times.With a 105 mph and a good 60 foot a 12 sec pass is achievable.

Re: Rod Runs 12.62!!!!!

Well well well, what can I say ?? That is an absolutely fan****intastic result Rod. Im sure Marks support has helped you on your way aswell. If anyone was to do it, you deserve to mate, for all the time and mathematical madness you put in has finally paid off ( IN A BIG BIG WAY).
Although I could not be there physically, I would like you to know that I was at home, in my recliner, sending out positive vibes man !! LOL
Once again Congratulations and lets get these 260's knocking on the doors of a low 13.

Cheers, Ray & Ben !

Re: Rod Runs 12.62!!!!!

Well done Rod, fantastic effort!! You have worked hard for the 12 and really deserve it mate. I was sure you would run a 12 after going 13.08, but 12.6 is just plain showing off, well done. The 110MPH says a lot also!

Re: Rod Runs 12.62!!!!!

Was the 12.62 achieved with street tyres or were slicks used?

What about safety? At least one of the LS1 cars coming runs 10's, I would have thought that a properly prepared track would be mandatory.

Mark or Rod, do Heathcote normally prepare the track properly on the test and tune days??
