ULTIMATE TVR SHOOTOUT - DATE SET 9th JULY

[dbv8]

After much deliberation! (see here http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... the date is set for a gathering all TVRs to come along to Santa Pod to race, test, watch, and to park with 50+ other TVRs in the pit area wether racing or not.

But beware you may well be convinced to have a go, so bring your driving licence and a helmet if you have one (not necessary but recommended).

Take a look at the amazing list of cars listed already on the above thread.

I now have a big push on to get my car finished and tuned ready to chase those big LS engined, supercharged and turbo cars etc.
See you all there early on Saturday morning 9th July.

IIRC the venue opens at 8 and the track action starts at 9:30.
Give yourself plenty of time as it takes longer than you think once off the motorway to get there.
The earlier the better as you will want to empty the car, sign on, get in the queue, then you can lower your rear tyre pressures and have a brew and relax all well before 9:30.

Nothing to be scared of. What TVR do you have?

[Madmatt V8]

Standard sagaris, what times should I expect or hope for?

I am not sure on the actual spec but Rob Pack ran 12.398 @ 114 in his Sagaris.
You should beat your old time and with decent grip, healthy tune and some good luck then a sub 12 could be possible.

That's a decent time :-) this is my fourth Tvr but first time to the pod, hope I don't disappoint lol
