I was just going off memory! I honestly have no idea where the slip is anymore. Nor do I have the memory to remember exact numbers from three years ago. I think it was a flat 2.1s for the 60ft

Does it matter anymore? Nope cause the car won't do it anymore and the next time I take it, it'll probably be a turbo

There was quite bit of a battle going on in the UK for a few years.
Thefreak ran a 14.452 with his N/A GPX, had that time for ages.
Then Steve Firth ran 14.442 still N/A, it took him over 4 years to get that time and the day he did it he got in over 35 runs on the strip, he reckoned perfecting the launch was the key but he'd been setting good times prior to that.
Don Griffiths best was 13.913, still N/A but quite a few mods and stripped out, he used to trailer it to the strip.

I thought someone had run a 14.2 but can't find it.

You can't compare Aus & UK times. Much colder denser air in the UK, apples & oranges.
