Congratulations to Gareth “Spuddy”

[John@ECC]

Congratulations to Gareth “Spuddy” for setting a new record of 11.94 to take the title of fastest FWD time set in Ireland in his ECC built and tuned Starlet. He also done a 12.00 and two 12.08’s.

Due to grip issue’s we could only run 1.9 bar which is a lot less than the normal 2.65bar and were struggling for grip in 3rd gear even with the huge drag tyres.

Quick video of one run.


Next stage is better clutch to handle the extra power its getting and a bigger exhaust housing to allow higher RPM as we had to limit it to 8250rpm today as its building up a lot of back pressure above that.

If we can do 11.9 here we will be aiming for low 10's at the pod once its running full power.
