I notice from the pictures section on eurodragster that there is mention of "Private Testing" on the Thursday? Does it mean RWYB? confused

I am not an expert, but I can only think it means some kind of testing, done in private.

More specifically, as I understand it, the track is exclusively rented by a racer for a fee. Anyone else who takes part in that session, contributes (or should) to the fee.

Exactly! how much does it cost? who do you contact to get a date? are the public allowed to attend? can you run a hydrogen peroxide rocket car if you want? type

If you would like to test at, for example, Santa Pod then have a wild stab in the dark at how you would go about getting details about that. Clue: it won't be here.

Yes that might be so. But if anyone on this forum knows they can tell us and then there is no need to look further.Also not just one person who has inquired has the information.All who read the forum do.smile:

Have so far resisted the urge to post here. So what are we all doing here? Shoudent we all be doing this on Eurodragster? Perhaps there is a good reason that Tog. God bless him Dose not run a forum. Too many mupets? To little time. What happens when the owner of this site sells off all your details for megaa buck$$$. Like facebook, Google etc. Why dos'nt some tell that fella to contact the tracks Re; private testing.

I would be fairly certain the word "private" would give the answer to that away.

Private = you need an invite.

Example: Next door neighbour has a party. It's private. You need to be invited. You don't have an invite. Would you stand on a box and watch over the fence? No.

Thanks Brian, that'll be Tog, Simon, Roger and Kirstie smile Getting O/T but for more on Eurodragster.com and forums see:

It will be a cold day in hell before I change my mind on the subject of a Eurodragster.com discussion forum and given that I am atheist and thus don't believe in hell...

Kestral, you should know by now that there is no-one on this forum who could afford to hire SPR for the day smile Don't forget that there are plenty of Peak Performance Days which are a lot cheaper and relatively private, and so long as you let the track know in advance about anything exotic then you can take along just about anything you like.

yes it was a little exotic for the formula tanker guys to rent the track for a day just to run a super pro et car. however dont get the wrong idea about th guys, just because thy have a big motorhome and 2 cars it does not mean theyre snobbish or like flashing their cash around. the formula tanker guys are a cracking bunch of people, really nice and enthusastic about the sport, infact most have been spectators for years and simon used to compete on a 10.90 bike. however it does help to have a very willing sponsor that wants to bring lots of corporate partners to the pod, the 'boss' is a great guy and a very astute businessman, at the end of the day he just wants to go racing in style and be able to cater for his partners and team. next time you see them pop round and say hello youll soon realise what a bunch of enthusiastic guys they are and how willing they are to learn about drag racing.

No it wasn't. What is exotic is taking along a rocket, as mentioned above.

BTW be fair: it was a Super Pro ET dragster, a Pro ET dragster, and a Comp Bike biggrin The guys got in three runs on the Super Pro car and four or five on the bike. The Pro ET car was in the pairing lanes when it started to rain and that was the end of that.

"atheist" relates to religion/god whereas (technically) hell/hades would be a place, i know cos ive been married, god help me, hell aint a bad place to be after all...
