Ok Looks like its Just me....

I will be going on the 10th to get an official time for my car and to have a day playing on the drag strip.
It's a public RWYB day, so if anyone else fancies playing its ust a case of turning up on the day & paying your money....
Weather permitting of course, as there is no drag racing in the wet, which is probably sensible

Bugger, I might have stood a chance with the 4x4 in the wet....!!

If the drive home from silverstone is anything to go by your 4x4 would be the easy victor in the wet!!!

Looks like a reasonable forecast, so hopefully it will be a decent day.

Just finished installing this...


So I should be able to warm the tyres properly

The target is 11.5 sec for the quarter - not sure if I can do that, but it should be possible??

Well Got to Santa Pod OK,

Tested the line lock solenoid - which works ok.

Lined up at the start



and nearly made it to the 1/4 mile



Then I was towed back to the start, so I am one of the few people to have done the 1/4 backwards all be it by ATV power. Drive shaft or CV joint is broken, need to check tomorrow....

Spent the rest of the day waiting for break down trucks and on the way home.



Thanks to Andy Phillips for the photos!

An interesting day.............................great drive down there in the car, and then 2 recovery vehicles later got back home eventually at 19:30. We will have better luck next time, a pity that Neil didnot get any times at all.

It wouldn have been so bad if i got at least one time, but it obviously wasnt meant to be

Just removed the drive shaft and it is the outer CV joint that has failed. The cage has shattered.....









Looks like I need a stronger CV!
