I think you might have a record for fastest sprint on the grass Martin! About 80 wasnt it?

I think it must have been, but didn't have time to look at the speedo. How fast do you reckon we were going on my other grass cutting episode on the pit straight ?

thinking about it. 92 out of my dolly is very good. I've checked the speedo against a GPS and and its remarkably accurate. So its lost less than 10mph in 28 years, with timing thats way off and bottom end knock! Thats quite good<br>


<p></p><i></i>

you have bottom end knock if you investigate V max with timing way out...<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :hat --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/pimp.gif ALT=":hat"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>
