good man

[DEP]

What sort of times do they run there then?

[Vista]

I ll check my dairy

 

You needing some milk or something?

 

Oh and re times, it's an 1/8th of a mile strip here I think (never been there myself)

[Stu_B]

yeah 1/8th of a mile! Loads of boy racers but usually a good show of old skool motors & kustoms/hot rods/street rods etc... oh & a handling track for some tyre shredding

[jamesg]

yep only 1/8 but a vry good meet, good thing with the boy racers is they always lose. like they say... "when the flag drops the bull sh*t stops"

[DEP]

I ll check my dairy

1200 doesnt matter i ran my first with a 1200 in me estavan

i keep changing things and getting faster

now im running a 1600 with twin 40's

its all for fun its even better when you beat the boy racers

(which ive only managed once ) but oh well

im hopefully going to do it this time with the 40's

[DEP]

I ve just checked some of my timing tickets from the pod, i do the 1/8th mile in the 7 second bracket, would that be competitive

[jamesg]

that would kick jap ass, you have to come now!

[DEP]

Ok i ll see what i can do, the only thing that concerns me is grip levels

And whats the score with tyres, Are slicks allowed?

Thanks

[jamesg]

wear what tyres you like, all they check is that your battery is secure, you have long sleeves and a helmet. £20 and you run all day

[deltamal]

Recon i'll be there! beat a Scooby and a skyline last time ......

[CrazyCharlie]

thats cool cant wait to see that

[CrazyCharlie]

is any one gunna have a go at drifting on the handling course

[Von Loxlee]

oh well with new carbs it looks like you would prob beat me anyway now!

[jamesg]

[DEP]

Thats a real shame

[Stu_B]

What a load of bollox!! Theres banger racing in the next field all the time... bet that doesn't get cancelled!!

[CrazyCharlie]

winkers i was really looking forward to this one

[Mrp]

Sadly this is another example of a minority spoiling it for the majority. I have been competing on stage rally events at this venue for many years and all events run faultlessly multiple time per year, the problems have only come since the introduction of the chav racing at the venue. Unfurtuatly these simple tossers think that ont the way to and from a drag race turns them into a racing driver and drive noisily and quickly through the village getting the residents backs up, leading to them trying to get all events at the venue stopped.

 

As far as i can see this is just another reason for chav hunting to be legalised.

[jamesg]

pass me my gun!
