Top Times: Zone 1 Challenge

[jonny]

This thing could actually come in useful!

I believe that my list of Z1 scores on there is comprehensive.

where are all the Z1C 2007 times?!

Dave Gorman is indeed "Genius" I remember his TV show a couple of years back when he was trying to track down other Dave Gormans around the world. Any spare tickets for the show at all???

nothing listed on the website anymore but it's always worth giving the beeb ticket unit a call to see if they have any going spare. number's on http://www.bbc.co.uk/tickets somewhere.

Haha, not as comprehensive as I thought then!

[Garion]

Blast from the past! Mine/Andi's time from the 2009 Challenge was 2:52:59.

[hwolge]

How about this year's Z1 results? http://www.tubeforum.co.uk/phpBB3/viewt ... &start=118. At least our winning time should make the top 10 list...

[dudey]

I seem to remember the current record for this was down in the region of 2:35, set by Starky and Dr Who at the 2008 Tube Olympics

[Nigel]

I think I managed to capture the data that was in Scrxisi's database which he used to populate his site with stats. I'm not sure how complete or up to date it is - for example it didn't have the 2011 Zone1 results. Although database manipuation isn't a great skill of mine, when I get a bit of time, I should be able to produce some top times for the other challenges - but that won't be in the next few days I'm afraid.

Yes they had an absolute storming time that day including a run through Boots the Chemist, the thing legends are made of

3:15:28

bit of an on the fly attempt as | had time to kill, and walked several of the changes. Still, gets me on the board, if low down

[tractakid]

This badly needs updating!

[Iain]

Okay - I've tried to update this a bit by building in the times from the last few years, but 2007 Z1 info seemed sparse. I haven't got the 2:35? time anywhere. If anyone has the missing info please feel free to PM me, I'm happy to try to keep this up to date

[Going Underground]

How could I have forgotten this, I have gone sub 3hours and but for being held at Sloane Square for several minutes it would have been a belter!

There must be loads and loads of times missing with 9 years of Z1 and several other evening events over the years... I guess finding all the times is pretty impossible

[tubeguru]

I'm only 35th and 64th. I need to improve that, if I could be arsed.

[tractakid]

Awesome job Iain, thanks so much! Loads of times around the 2:52 mark, every second counts!
