Runway / top speed?

[e46m3c]

Anyone running any top speed events?

Just charged my m3 up to 550 bhp and would be nice to see what it can run.

Bump. Any recommendations or suggestions?

Just hire Bruntingthorpe for an hour. £60.

How do you get on a vmax event.

Might actually look into hiring a location as I'm sure I can get a bunch of us.

Do elvington have such days? Bruntingthorpe other than vmax.

or a run what you brung day at Santa Pod to get you standing quarter mile time.

not top speed but still should be a good way of seeing how much more oomph you have

Yep, but you have to book 2 hours (IIRC?) and you're meant to have liability insurance really but they sometimes let you away with it

I have dropped them a mail but not got back to me yet.

I know at least a couple of people who'd be interested too - so even if it's significantly more than £60 p/h, it might be worthwhile.

I can probably also get hold of some GPS timing gear so we can get the data without having to stare at the speedo (which you won't be doing at 160+ mph, believe me!).

I'd love to do this aswell!

Reckon someone at PH towers could be roped into organising a phss at bruntingthorpe?

Get in contact with the guys at Straightliners,

They run flyers at Elvington on a regular basis , with proper timing gear and medical attendance.

Some of the bikes are running in excess of 260 and a couple of cars passing 200, GTR 's I believe.
