Will have to try and sort a run against you then mate, i'll be on the VAG20V stand. What sort of times have you managed?

 

[voorhees]

14.6 but 5.8 on 0-60
I have to perfect the back end of the run I think,don't mind having a go against you Steve

 

[S3Steve]

Cool look forward to it mate, is your car mapped?

 

[voorhees]

Yes

 

[S3Steve]

Definately should be some better times in it then mate, hopefully the weather is dry and not too hot so you can better that 14.6.

 

[jojo]

Yes

He's also an old man, so gearchanges might be a bit slower....

 

[Nilz]

Who else is going, Jo you going??

How much is it???

 

[DriveByShooters]

I'll be there!...15 minutes up the road from me so no excuse really...lol

 

[jojo]

Who else is going, Jo you going??

How much is it???

I'm considering it, but only as a spectator, won't be heading down the strip.

 

[Nilz]

Hmmm, i dont think i will be going down the strip either, not really fussed at how fast i can do 0-60 and 1/4 mile etc, let me know if you are going, i might pop along as long as we aint got anything else on...

[HTC]

I'll be heading there if I'm about.

 

[S3Steve]

Doesnt look like im gonna be able to make this now.

 

[DriveByShooters]

If you manage to find some grass on a drag strip, you've got it seriously wrong dude!

 

[voorhees]

oh well I'm still going...ballcrushers got to be good for this?

 

[Wingnut Express]

I'm going, thou it will be in my mates Mk4 golf

 

[billybravo]

how much is the day and how much is the strip 15 quid? is that for three runs ?

i might show my face i could do with getting my times down

 

[Nilz]

Soz guys, cantmake this either now im afraid....have fun all though and make sure you get some decent pics and vics

 

[Defratos]

I wanna go but can't !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! , anyone willing to fly me over for a few days?

 

[jojo]

Hmmm... still undecided if I'm going or not, I only want to spectate and not hit the strip, so £15 per person, is there anything worth buying whilst I'm there?

dunno why you don't do the strip as you won't lose your way like at Castle Combe

 

[voorhees]

15 quid entrance fee and 20 for unlimited runs down one of the best strips in the country
you'll need your license as well

 

[sitrials]

first time i took mine down the strip was this event last year could only manage 14.6 but later in the year i hit 14.1 consistently.
If its dry i will come!
I'll be on my todd though as Stapo69 has to spend time with his missus! BOOOOOO!

 

[big_mo]

Im still going to this but i think the weather is going to be ****

 

[voorhees]

seems bit brighter today so hopefully its okay darn sarf

went to clean the motor and a huge raincloud is approaching from the north so bollyoaks

 

[sitrials]

i just got up i don't think i can be bothered

 

[jojo]
