North Weald Drag Racing

[V8ian]

North Weald is on for the 11th of may.

[spitbarnatt]

Not far from me, s'pose I'll have to make sure the Escort is running for then.

[DEP]

I lost my drag racing cherry there

[kevmk2]

Nice place for grip!

[RUSTYPUP]

Arse! Can't make it. Well done for posting it up Ian, as it is easy to miss.

[spitbarnatt]

Better or worse than Brunters? From what I remember its the same type of surface, last time I was at North Weald was ten years ago and I ran my dad's 3000GT. You don't really have to worry about grip in that!

[V8ian]

Grip???? tire shredding no grip concrete, Sideways in third, no problem Sir,

[petrolhead]

I'll be there to lose my drag racing cherry

 

anyone else coming?

Pretty similar I recon as you say, concrete. Nice atmosphere there usually.

[Guest MK1gaz]

It's slightly north of weald.

M25, M11 up 1 junction, off and over the Motorway, last exit before you go back down the M11, straight on to the Roundabout, right, 300mtrs on right is the entrance

That's very informative.

 

You can't miss it Gaz, but you may find everthing has fallen off (including your ears) when you get there.

[Guest MK1gaz]

Nice and comfy in mine , it's even quiet at 70 mph until you floor it and the induction roar kicks in .

Cheers Ian , i may blast up for some low 13sec attempts then

[MK2Ed]

Hmm can't make the 11th otherwise may well have made the short trip for some tyre shredding action...

[Nettles]

Is it a RWYB meet? My OSF's not on the road yet but I quite fancy racing my bike.

[dal1cos]

i will be there ,just hope the run off is a bit longer than last year.KEV ARE YOU GOING TO RUN THE ESCORT THIS TIME ?

I dont see the point ot be honest Dal, may come and watch though.

Mind you i have to say the Toyo 888r's are bloody good on the road, i can now get grip in 3rd, 4th, 5th gear And do a 0-60 in 4.5 seconds on the road according to the stack dash, with normal road tyres it was in the high 5's

My Toyos were worth nearly 0.2 of a sec on my 60fts, and that was not the soft compound, Guess what my next order is for?????

[danny69]

I am coming to watch as my capri isn`t ready yet

But ny mate is bringing his 200bhp rs turbo with new toyo R888s which should be quick if he can get the FWd off the line but it will be nice to see him get beaten by some proper OSF
