Ya weren't at it last year cos this is the first time it was on. All the spaces are booked up at the minute but a few people might be selling theirs.

special prizes for any honda under 20 seconds
Or those that can manage to do a full quarter mile without hitting the limiter.

And an even bigger prize for any car that has a proper exhaust and doesnt want to make you fill your ears with concrete to get rid of the noise.

Quickest car there was a Starlet, 12.04 @ 136 mph. No excuses for his run but he knows it will go faster.
why was he not in the 10's with that terminal ?

I'm no expert but he was getting a lot of wheelspin so going straight for second would have made it bog down. He couldn't get enough heat into the slicks he was using, apparently.
I dont think it would have bogged from watching the video. What I do know is that bouncing off the limiter does nothing other than slow you down on the quarter.

Because Starlets usually arent 4wd....
I would doubt any fwd Starlet will run a 10 in Northern Ireland any time soon. No surface has sufficient traction.

In every other gear I'd agree, but I've even found myself that launching with the right amount of wheelspin for a short time is far better than bogging in 1st or shortshifting and bogging in 2nd. Just my own experience on the road, but on a strip in a built B18 with slicks it could be different.

You can be bouncing off the limiter in first, spinning the wheels and only doing 15mph, if you grab second then and your wheels get traction (which they probably will) you are going to be sitting about 2k revs in second and thats not where you want to be.

He is nursing it in 1st, 2nd and a little in 3rd gear so he is not really using the full rev range until 3rd, then it covers the ground very fast.
