- A rolling road day was organised by the Autobahnstormers on 2nd Feb 2005.
- The day of reckoning was to be held at SAS in Aldershot.
Beaten on the day by BTB's Race prepared LC and a nitrous injected LO I was placed 3rd out of a field of 9 (BHP)
- I'm very pleased with this result compared to the first run, a vast improvement. Torque was a little down on book figure,
- perhaps this may have been due to the dip in boost pressure just after 4500rpm, I don't know why this was.
- Hoping to do some data logging with a pda to confirm if this drop is consistent. (hurry up MR ;-)
- oops, bit late updating this bit, MR now completed his PDA datalogging software perfectly !!

1 Andy Ward Lotus Omega 3615 Twin Turbo & NOS 436.5
