A couple of us Midlanders have been talking about doing some 1/4 mile runs to amuse ourselves, even if it amuses no-one else. There is a run-what-you-brung day on 13th June that we can all meet up at and run our cars.
There is no safety equipment required to run. You will need your driving license, MOT and insurance certificate. More details of rules and procedure in the website link.
The track is a proper strip that they glue, so weather plays a vital role in a successful day. If it is raining when you wake up and it is forecast to continue, then it probably isn't worth going!
I know Pandamonius Maximus, Panda Van and myself lewey will be going, but thought this would help to formalise things for anyone on the fence as to whether to pop along. There are no formal arrangements for meeting up and no food and drink will be laid on, etc.
There may be a boobie prize for anyone unable to beat the 20 second barrier!
Prices: £12 entry, £20 extra to run as many times as you like.
I'll be photographing there, so if anyone wants pics of their car pounding the strip, be there or be square !!!
ahh! drag racing a 130! I think neil and franco would be after me!!!!! could i see how long it takes to roll the panda down the strip? unlike the cretins who did it out side my home?
just you wait matey! I managed to stay in a straightish line when a gave a smug ferrari owner a fright when i cought him up with-in 100yds of leaving the lights in my 1*0. could i use the armco to guide me up the track? in the panda of course!
