Basicly its an old air field used by the americans in the war. now its a drag strip and quite possibly the safest place to see what your car can do.

if you look at my gallery there is a picture of my other car racing a lotus carlton.

Would attach the picture but dont know how. Doh!

Here you go



So that's the start of the race... how quick was it in the end? Did you realise you lose 10bhp by having silver with a black roof

I'm up for this providing we go to one before I sell the car in feb!

I did it in 13.74 seconds with a terminal speed of 95MPH.

Its a 2.0Ltr corsa fully profiled and mapped. will do 150mph but then the needle goes past the marks and back to the 0. quite funny really.

Anyway its a good place to park up and wander about as alot of the shops set up stalls there too (car shops that is).

That's strange on their web site they quote:

Quote:
early 2003 dates are as follows: Jan 26th, Feb 2nd, Feb 16th, Feb 23rd, Mar 2nd, Mar 16th, Mar 30th and Apr 6th.
