I have taken video of 44 runs down the strip today of mainly TVRs. I will be making a video with all clips put together but if any individual would like the video I took of their TVR running down the strip then I will send it you providing I have one of your car. Please let me know your car, the colour and reg if you want,(most reg's can't be read) I can send it you via yousendit.com and you will have up to 7 days to download it.
I also took over a hundred photo's so same applies.

Thanks Derek for organising the event, I was gutted when I found out you couldn't go down the strip. Hope you got home ok and I can't wait for the next one.
If you have any of my green Chim S50 CHM would be great.
Thanks
Barrie

Couldn't make it as engine is out,(what an excuse).

I really feel for you Derek as this was a "one of" event that would have been a great party piece for the rebuilt "gas'er"!


Was there a any dry runs, if so, what was the quickest n/a chimmy?

It was insanely quick that Escort... very consistent low tens too, with the best I saw of 10.1 and terminal of 138mph!!

Quick google of the number plate shows it to be Cosworth engined (no massive suprises there), however more interestingly, the owner was aiming for 650bhp to match the number plate as of 19th Jan this year. Judging by how quickly that thing took off from the line and dealt with the gears, I'd guess he's not far off that now!!

Great day, and excellent TVR turnout.
