... They disallowed my first 186mph chute pull run cause the chute cable missed by 1mm...

Missed what?

... They disallowed my first 186mph chute pull run cause the chute cable missed by 1mm...

Missed what?

I think what we have here is a failure to communicate.

We have confused a metric measurement for distance with an imperial measurement for velocity. I suspect what our friend had wished to say was "1mph", there is another possibility , the pin stayed in the loop by 1mm...... who knows either he was going to fast by 1mph or the chute didn't come out.....

what is more significant is he had an incident where the bonnet( what you guys call a hood) whipped up and took him off the track, through the new Tag Heuer timing lights......................

I have to say I really liked the Jag, clean work, simple form, neat work. It was great to finally see it on the salt, big up to Gary for his efforts and for all he does for the club.......please, please, please don't put one of those rubbish V12's in it Gary

Chris needed to trim another millimeter from his cable inner for the chute to release. he wasn't alone in that during the week.

Gary already has a couple of V12s and one is destined for twin turbos and no hole in the bonnet (hood). The culprit for the Jag spin was the front bumper, it flexed and allowed pressure to build in the engine bay. It will be different next year although the car will still run the blown Cleveland. It ran strong right up until the spin.

Well done on the 215 Doc, I'll keep an eye out for another of those Sunshine plaques for you.

Cheers,
Rob

One more for the fans of sunset pics. Hard to take a bad photo out there.

It's nice that they'll let you hang out on the salt that late in the day.

There should be a calendar under that one.

Since they're from the underside of the world -- did anyone but me notice that the rays from the sun behind the clouds are coming down in reverse direction?

Slim......You didn't really say that did you?

I'am a total ' Tank ' nut and what a great photo, just does not get any better than that as it says it all.

I know, Don.  These guys have turned me into a tank fan.  I never paid all that much attention to them before.  Now I like them a lot.  Almost as much as roadsters.
