news from japshow , i don't know how to break this to you all but i have received a text message from derek today that made me go , well it went something like this "wouter has just run a 12.55:-) "in dereks car , not wouters mazda before you all go "whats he done to the mazda????????"

[ANTHONY]

a great weekend had by all and it was sooooooooooooo hot.. heres a few photos,dereks got a new toy

[psbarham]

just spoken to derek again on the phone and confirmed his own times and the first was 12.67 and the 2nd was 12.61 , so not bad for an estate car (or if HJM's reading this, a van )

[Spirit]

Brilliant Derek, well done mate......but thought your car wasn't up to running ? What changed......or was it simply mind games Mr Ferguson

[Kieran]

Oh yes... Full review coming when everyone's favourite grey'ead gets in... But WHAT a day.... Derek & Wouter really did pull that one out of the bag..... Stunning!

12.5 @106mph.....


The BDA/Interlec arms race has just cranked up another notch, with Derek's custom induction solution paying dividends - more than making up for the stifingly high air temperatures and the 95 RON petrol Derek had to have a splash of at the last minute!!

That Derek got there at all was another story in itself!! But that's for another thread....

[Wouter]

All I can say is..... THANK YOU INTERLEC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

I sh@t my pants on that last run!!!

This is it!

I ntrue sportsman like fashion, BDA stepped in and fixed his nitrous system!!!

Great run by Derek, missed Wouters but the video will be up at some point!

Highlight of the weekend? VR-Punto

[SGHOM]

Is it me ?? or Barry ??

[Jimbo]

Well that was a cracking weekend and scorching weather on both days

Great to see you mad lot again, it's always a great event with CVR4

The dodgems were a highlight this weekend and as two of the clubs most dedicated track addicts, Heath and I clearly wiped the floor with our opposition ....mind you some of them did figure out how to make their cars go backwards

My favourite moment has to be the incredible turn around in Derek's car and seeing Wouter claim no.1 spot on the VR4 board....without owning a VR4! Hail to thee Derek and Wouter - class , pure class!

A true gentleman Dave

indeed !! big thanks Dave !!

Absolutely fantastic run by Wouter! .......But what about Dereks/ wouters custom intercooler spray as administered by chief mechanics Ross and Barry?

Was it this that made those all important 10ths of a second difference?

Brilliant weekend ,weather and club atmosphere!!! Glad to be part of it

Nick & family

[HJM]

Yep, what a great weekend yet again

Echo all the sentiments from above

Nice one Derek and Wouter - can't wait to see what happens in October

[Kieran]

Absolutely fantastic run by Wouter! .......But what about Dereks/ wouters custom intercooler spray as administered by chief mechanics Ross and Barry?

We saw barry giving it that all important last squirt at the paddock area.... Brilliant!

By the way - Ross, I've restocked the fish tank. But by the time we had got home, another massacre had taken place in it......

[Wouter]

Read it and weep!!!! (BDA) lol

[Kieran]

I had a handy calculator that worked out your 0-60 from your 1/8 trap speed and MPH. I lost it, but some kind soul has uploaded a copy of it, here:Calc

Well, last time, when Derek ran a 12.9 second 1/4, the calculated 0-60 was 4.22 seconds. Quick by anyones standards.

This time, the 1/8 mile time for Derek's fastest run was: 7.995 @ 85.85.


That works out as a 0-60 in...............................

A few snaps..................

[Simon]

Sounds an awesome weekend!!!!!!!!!!! out of curiousity what did that common black car (in the picture above) running next to Wouter get?!?!?!?! And is that Heath dancing above!!!

[Kieran]

To put this in perspective, the famed '1/4 Mile Rivals' chart is saved to an excel sheet on our PC.

Here's the machinery that the SGHOM mobile is rubbing shoulders with....

Name...............1/4mile time @ MPH

Interlec........................... 12.5@106
Noble M12 GTO.................12.5@114
TVR Tamora.....................12.5@119
Merc CL65 AMG Auto........12.5@120
Ast. Martin Vantage 600...12.6@120
Porsche 911 GT3..............12.6@115

Try getting an IKEA wardrobe flatpack in one of them!
