Hi Paul
Just got back in
We did the event on Sunday and drove home today
I will have to look and see if Jane managed to take any usable pictures

Anyway the controller was great
But I have made a mistake!
I went down to 130v (40S) - BIG MISTAKE!
On the track it will only reach 100kph (59mph)
So I stonked out of the corners and then my tiger turned into a ***** cat and I poodled down the straights

Great fun but not fast

I did the sprints around the track and used up my charge so I missed the first drag races
When I turned up for the second series they put me next to a Ferrari! - lovely big red one
I complained but they laughed

This was the first time I had been on a proper side by side drag strip
The lights turned and I got away in front of it!
About 100 yards down the track it flew past me
But I was in front for the first bit!
He did a 14 seconds and 110mph
I did 18 seconds and 59mph - I think I had already stopped accelerating when he went past

When I came back for another go they put me next to the Tesla - Dam that thing was fast I just followed him all the way

Great fun - now I need to get my voltage back up,
What is the limit with the new controller?
