steve mk2 Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 i maxed out at 105mph 2 days ago. i know thts nothing to you lot but for a tottaly standard 1.3 x-flow thts apparently only suposed to do 92 in the manual thts pretty damn good.!!!!!! if you get more people with small engines to go then tht would be better i guess for the trip up n back and the track coz there will still be a convoy goin on watever the power Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X-pack-Glyn Posted October 12, 2006 Report Share Posted October 12, 2006 i would love to go to this. is a 1.3 acceptable or is this just a big engine meet? up to you dude, but the tracks 13 miles per lap and has about 133 seperate corners....not one to be taken lightly...oh, and you get put on it with bikes and allsorts, also its a public road which means its open to the public, dont be supprised if you come across the odd coach or two travelling at 40 mph.
