I've worked out why my 60 footers at the private day were so lousy.
I'd been thinking about it, watched Troy's trailer and watched Murat's launch. On the day, I was conscious of temps and not overheating the g'box etc and realise I was simply 'flashing' to my launch rpm then letting it go. If I'd have logged a run it would have become obvious.... I simply wasn't allowing it any time to develop some boost before I let it go.
I've had another look at my timeslips... and it certainly wasn't down on power... my trap speed on the last run was 122.79 mph (off a 2.05 60'), and my 660' was 5 mph down on what it should have been.
My 60' should have been back to 1.6 - 1.65, 0.4 better than what I was getting on the day, this would have related to 0.7 - 0.8 over the 1/4... which would have had me sub 11 seconds.... it's a lot easier here in the cool behind my keyboard!!!!!
