Quarter Mile PB

23/09/2014

Many thanks to everyone who has sent messages of congratulations via Facebook, email and text after our Personal Best 1/4 mile ET last Sunday.

After a turbulent weekend at the FIA European Finals (Sun 7th Sept) we had to cancel our scheduled runs due to some stress damage to one of the turbine blades. Rather than risk further damage, we decided to do a complete engine swap and fitted a spare engine. This engine was not fitted or tested in time to complete our runs at the Euro Finals but after a test fire up last week, I was confident that the spare engine was fitted and running sufficiently enough to run at the National Finals.

On Saturday 20th Sept, at the National Finals, the track and weather conditions were good and we did a 5.81 second run. Myself and the team were happy with the performance.

On Sunday 21st Sept, the track and weather conditions again were good. There was a slight tail wind and the car ran a 5.75 second ET over the quarter mile, which is a personal best.

Needless to say, the whole FireForce team are happy with this run and we are extremely grateful for all the well wishes since Sunday.

Our next outing is Sun 28th Sept at the BMW Show. See you there!
