yup.
Heathcote on May 26th ran a 14.573 @ 92.92 MPH (PB)
Calder on August 24th ran a 14.576 @ 93.91 MPH.

Differences in the runs.
Totally different tracks
Heathcote was a day run, Calder was a night run.
3 months and 2 days.
0.003 of a second (000.02%) and 0.99mph (1.05%) difference.
Car ran identical setup. No mods made, same tyres run, nothing changed.

I'd say thats backed up pretty categorically.

15.889 @88 1st time out
15.887 @88 2nd time out
15.379 third time out.
First two were similar in everyway, last one was better conditions, and more mods.

I wont be able to back up the latest time though, as I will have more mods by the 29th.

Last year I ran 14.773 and one month later with full petrol tank 3 to 4 14.8's

This year I have been out 2 times.14.9 .My last run on that occasion indicated a 14.6 to 14.4 when the timeboard died ..a few weeks later 2 14.5's.In essence I backed up the 14.5 /

Hamo certainly did. His car was super consistent and backed up its numbers at Heathcote at least 2 times that I saw. I know this one for sure as , at the time, a 14.9 was an awesome time in an AU and Hamo just rattled off 14.3s and 14.2's time after time. Its was amazing.

Tripowers I dont think did. It certainly ran the numbers at Calder but the next time it came out I believe was at an AFF day at Heathcote where it ran in the 14.7's. I dont think it ever raced again after that. I'm not sure what happened to lose 0.5 of a second although I noticed his 60' time went from a best of 1.970 to somewhere in the high 2.0x's and the MPH was way off its best at Heathcote. That said though, he did run the tie at Calder and had probably 5 runs there all within a few % of the best time.

As far as I remember Geza was having issues with his car running in the mid to high 14's. This got sorted and he came out and ran the 14.31 at an AFF Heathcote day. I dont think he's raced it since.

thanks for that,i was starting to think mine was the only car having some sort of inconsistancy.
i have found mine to be very tempramental at best ,sometimes it cracks and sometimes its a slug.
any comments from the guys that drive manuals would be appreciated too.

I know DeathXR has a manual and his is very consistent. He's backed up his times time after time too.
