1.26 with no traction ????
Must have turned the tyres after that ?

Well it looks great anyway, no terminal speed figures worth speaking of ?

that was wendesday night , we were doing chassis testing in the first 100 to 300foot marks, i'll pulled the chute at 100foot mark and got off the throttle then the bottom radiator hose popped (speedflow fitting failed) and went on a little slipping around, just scratched the paint no dents or other damage, hence why we ran at gladstone on friday and saturday
