If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Is that yours? If so, you need a bike engine! (just before Hellfire comes along)
I was going to, but thought I'd limit myself to bike engine/anchor comments first!

As a respected senior member of the forum I doubt very much whether anyone would say anything. If the truth were to be told that's what
we're all thinking though.

Bike engine, I can frighten myself easily enough with a 2.0i Pinto!
With a bit better technique I think I could better 0-60 in 6 secs and 0-100 in 18 secs? What would that equate to in a 1/4 mile?

Bit of a guess, but probably something around 14-15? I'd expect mine to do it in 13ish. Could be miles out with this though.
Oh, on the technique bit, whilst I'm by no means a pro, it did look like you had a fair bit of spin off the line, which will only slow you
down.

I like it! Very casual, one hand on the steering wheel until you get to the ton!

What do you expect from a bike engine? I am hoping to upgrade to a car engine soon

Mine should hit 60 in ~4/4.5 and I have no idea to the ton, but I'm in 6th in not long. Can't check for a while either as my exhaust tip
went walkies.

Ive recorded 9.8s 0-100 with my R1 book Locost and the standing quarter in 12.9 something, both on an airfield (ie not Santa Pod levels of grip) but
with proper timing gear for the 1/4 mile.

What tyres were you running for that? Just curious to find ways of getting mine to go faster with out doing too much too it.

Nothing special, my old Yoko 509s which refuse to wear out and are crap on the track. A032/48s etc are a lot grippier, but I was getting similar 60ft
times as a couple of mates in their BECs with softer rubber, so it didnt seem to affect it too much.
