Brighton National Speed Trials

September 2011
Brighton and Hove Motor Club

Times
P1 - 2.31s - 100mph - 13.76s - 1st run, cloudy, warm and dry
T1 - 2.27s - 102mph - 13.56s - Warmer and a better start
T2 - 2.94s - 101mph - 14.81s - Slower all round due to heavy rain shower

The above information represents: 0-64ft time - terminal speed across the line - final time.

2nd - Andy Couchman 13.56s (Although Andy's time was identical to mine, as was his terminal speed of 102mph. I just shaved it by being 6/100ths quicker on the 0-64ft time!)

I was really pleased to find that on my first attempt at the Brighton Speed Trials I actually came away with the Class 2 FTD. Class 2 being Roadgoing & Modified Production Cars Over 1401cc and upto 2000cc.
