Classic Panda drag racing day at Shakespeare County Raceway!

I don't actually know how much I weigh, I just guessed. I feel a bit fat.

Have you done the ripple test? I saw that done on the tv once. You just tap your skin and see how long it wobbles for....

It also works on Panda's, you tap the side of the car gently, and then wait to see how long it takes to stop rocking.

Weight wise, I only weigh 60-65 Kg tops. So I may have the advantage :devil:

Cheers,
Si

Right, off to get scales from garage then..

Wish I hadn't done that.. I'm over 13st, so more like 85Kg. Muscle weighs more than fat you see.

Well the group of Pandas were sleeping in a nice field as Jen tried to capture this rare moment of peace

But once they were woken all hell broke loose

We even scared the American muscle, This car could only get low 15sec runs !! The same as some of the Panda's

Overall what a great day with plenty of sunburn for some !!!

Awesome time, what better way to spend the weekend.

Great to see you all again. I did 13 runs in total with a best of 20.48s. Its not a stagaring time, but I am very impressed. It was the least powerful thing there, and I still had people coming up to me to see it. Still a shame I couldnt break the 20 barrier though.

Love the captions there Gary. Sums up the day!

See you all soon!

Oh I burn. Was a fun day out. Might go back once my "last" round of mods is complete and see what it actually gives me.

 

[Gary]

i love the group pic, looks like they are all gathering around the baby Panda in the middle

 

[lewey]

Oh yeah..

5 runs in the 15s, with the best being 15.87 @ 86.21 MPH

how did you guys and gals get on yesterday? i went down today was a great day nice and hot got a flat 15 secound run was ok for a diesel

 

[lewey]

15.8 in mine.

Yours must weigh twice mine since you have twice the power and torque and a similar time!

 

[pandamonius_maximus]

Wow, I really got too hot!! I was quite ill last night and today reeeally wobbly.

Oh well, all better now and what a great day. I've got a goal now, 15 seconds. Might be unlikely, but no harm in being optimistic!

Nice pics Jeni. The Panda pics make me chuckle the most with my burnout bringing the most joy (obviously!).

Have you got any of me and Gary or any other Panda on the line in the same shot?

 

[Panda Van]

Yes, lewey, theyre on the website !!!
