Nice one. Sounds like a bit of fun and friendly competition. Whats the criterea for winning, is it ET or terminal speed? I am guessing ET.

[Paul Webster]

No, MPH / weight = £££BHP as calculated by;

ET-MPH-HP Calculator

This sounds like fun Paul

Okay, gotcha now. So highest BHP calculated from car weight and terminal MPH = winner.

Count me in. I'll come and register when I get there.

You still thinking of doing that bracket racing thing, or going to keep that for another time when there arent scales?

[Paul Webster]

Might try something for Saturday but depends how many people are there etc etc, but I'll let you know on that one

[BigShow]

So will the lightest driver or heaviest driver get the advantage??? I'm being thick as I still don't get it.

[Paul Webster]

Doesnt matter because the formula will work it out as an example;

If you run 100mph and weighed 3000lbs it comes out 246.57bhp

If I run 105mph but weighed 2572lbs it comes out at 244.71bhp

So I'm actually lighter and faster than you but do not produce as much horsepower so you win

[MINIMANIAUK]

Well done Paul ,great idea , good fun day out , a chance for all you S owners to show what ya got or NOT!!!!
See you there!!!

[Richard Crofts]

so pulleys and stuff is ok? just as long aqs its tritec with an m45 charger?


........I best get buying using the amex

[Paul Webster]

Yes Crofty you can do heads injectors pistons pulleys ex manifolds anything you like really apart from another power adder or water /alchol/cryo enhancments. If you do have these fitted to your car you can still run but you just have to prove to us there not connected.

does a rocket count as a power adder??

Depends if its strapped to your car, or aimed at the competition!

[GRSmotorsport]

I'll be there about 4ish, but watching only!

[Paul Webster]

With 256 you stand a good chance Graham, I forgot to point out that we were driving off the line at shakey and running 101 on runflats, then we were launching on the rev limiter with the slicks on and still running 101.

My point is that you dont have to abuse your clutch to win.

If we can get there in time, I'll see what I can do, but no promises
