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!

Dom · Dec 8th, 2002, 06:47 AM

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).

Minirichc · Dec 9th, 2002, 07:44 AM

Right got the mail back off santa pod and they dont have any dates decided yet!!!

Will have to keep checking the web site.

Will keep posted.

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.

Minirichc · Dec 9th, 2002, 02:07 PM

It does too!

Obviously not too bright there. so when do we think is best?

Oh and Dom its silver because i didnt have any other colour left and we had just sprayed a Dino that silver and had some left.

Rude to buy some new eh!

daiboi · Dec 10th, 2002, 04:33 AM

looks like a good laugh, my dad will prolly be up for that!

Loui · Dec 10th, 2002, 03:24 PM

Might pop along for a laugh depending on when it is

s_and_m · Dec 22nd, 2002, 05:15 AM

This is where you regret going for that fully loaded Cooper. All that extra weight, tut, tut.

Up for a bit of tyre smoking. Let us know when you get a date.
