Santa Pod

Recommended Posts

Kev - other half - and I pootled off to the "Run What You Brung" at Santa Pod on Saturday.


7.30 start from Brigg and it was rather chilly until we got to Peterborough.

Sun came out in places enough to warm us up while we went on the A1 :roll: to make up a bit of time.

Got there and signed in and on our first run for 10.25.

First run was void FFS :evil: :roll:


second run at 10.38 was +1.03 reaction time, 14.71 secs 1/4 mile @ 101.58 mph

18th run at 15.06 was +0.58 reaction time, 13.40 secs 1/4 mile @ 119.79 mph


That final run was my personal best of the day so that's what I have to beat when I go again on Sat 9th May.


The bike did do a +0.60 reaction time, 12.77 secs 1/4 mile @ 121.47 mph ...... but that was with Kev on it - not me :wink:


So something to aim for :lol:


despite leaving before 4pm it was bloody freezing on the way home :evil:

Didn't manage to beat my time or speed from last time out but will try again on 30th of this month.
