I should have some new rear springs fitted for this one to see if I can get away straight.
I'm going to use the rich settings on the 200 shot just to test suspension as I wont have had time for a dyno day by then.

This is one of the 2-3 Drag days per year at the Weald and its a good hoot :)

But you need to get there early as they sign on 200 and close the book.
You need to get the car in the srutineering queue as early as poss. You cant sign on until you pass scrutineering. I guess I'll have to fit my rubber pipe to the sprv again :?

I know Moo is coming. And hopefully my Son with his stock MK1 MR2 to run against Moo for reference purposes. I've got several of my V8 Forum buddies along as well. I assume the TEZZ will be coming over for one of my special coffee's???

This is not a pro strip. Its just a big old airfield with a great atmosphere. But they are getting more with the times as they changed race control from a garden shed with a window, to a proper porta cabin last year :D

I'm hoping Austin will be along with the F150 tank to put some rice burners to shame as well :beatstick:

The only thing I will say about the Weald is that the timing slips can be misleading. By misleading I mean sometimes way way off. :rofl:

Most uf us only use the weald for shakedowns anyway.

If you want to bung a BBQ in the boot they dont mind you firing up and doing the burgers in the pits. There is a huge mown grass area all around the pits which often gives off a nice smell of fresh cut grass mixed with burning Catrol R. Who could want more??

I'll be outside the gate at around 7.15am waiting to get in.

Moo!
Why dont you come to my place the night before for some beer and bullshit in the garage so we can get a flyer?
Or even leave your gaff early with Claire and Sam to get there no later than 8am. We could make it a BBQ picnic day.

Thanks for your help mate. I know of Active nitrous as they are my usual source of refills however after popping down today they were having a little trouble with a new batch of donor bottles, lack of dip tube or something.

Left my bottles there and hopefully the problem will be solved tomorrow and they'll be ready to pick up late 2moro afternoon.

Dont even think i'll need the 2nd bottle lol but best to be safe ( running 11lb )

I'm going to be there just so I can fire my engine without upsetting the neigbours :)

This way I can get some more testing done!!

Tezz!!
I've got the big burner and brewing kit in the truck. I decided against bringing the BBQ. So I stuck a big frying pan in the boot with a mountain of bacon, bangers and burgers + rolls and tommy sauce.
+ 2 big fishing umbrella's :)
