Anyone fancy a Vmax day?

Well, how about it? No idea when it will happen, but hopefully some time this year. RAF Marham, perfect for it and a much smoother main runway than Brunters.

Gary, I've been following this thread and the seemed demise of the Brutingthorpe Vmax venue.

But..is there anything conrete about if it will happen at Marham....let alone when??

Damn, I hope so. It's been a while since I blew an engine up!!

Stick me down if you hear anything.

You have to get it back in before you can blow it up again.

It will almost certainly happen at Marham...and P, the main runway is smooth tarmac, not concrete

For you Southerners, it will probably mean a night out in nearby Kings Lynn, the jewell in Norfolks crown

Tis in! And last night in went the gearbox - single handedly I might add. I adopted the 'slide on ply' approach. In like Flyn.

Marham - great can,t wait. What sort of length straight are we talking about here?

Whooah.......that sounds long. How does this compare to Brunters??

[steve_d]

It is shorter but you can take a run at it around the peri track. Said to be possible to join the main runway at 90-100mph.

Ah but I'll be doing more oil changes than you did (damm, tempting fate that!)
Will you be up and running by the April 15th, kit car show at Detling in Kent?
