Brighton speed trials - wonky did good

[wonkycustard]

Went to the brighton speed trials on the weekend, there is a quarter mile drag strip run for 200 cars and 40 bikes on Saturday . Its a real mix of cars of varying design and performance . This year was to 100th Birday of the event . It is said that over 300 entries were rejected .

I recorded a 2.09 seconds 0>64 foot , then crossed the line in 11.92 seconds @ 115 mph

beat all the supercars, in fact I think we beat everyting that was on road tyres - I was running the exact same setup that we had at the black cock meet ! .

I was number 81
full results and times are here ;

As per usual with your good self I'm completly at a loss as to where you are coming from ........ somethings never change eh ?

.........well it would seem so......

Didn't seem that difficult to me....as per my first comment, well done! Obviously, you did far better than I could possibly manage, especially in my TVR....

I then tried a little good natured leg-pull (obviously failed again), when, as shown in your link, mentioning that the Westfield (to which you know I have an affinity) came 1st..........



ho hum....


back to the cricket.....

Great pic here of Wonky about to do his stuff

[WWESTY]

Well I can only assume (in the absence of a response, and your use of selective editing) that maybe my explanantion made some sense.....

anyways....moving on...

Your plans for the Caterham shoot-out day at Avon Raceway look interesting

Any idea what the situation will be re. spectating? If I'm around I'd certainly like to see it....esp. if Arnie actually turns up.....

Cateringvan = Caterfield = Westham = Caterham = Westfield


Good result wonky
