Anyone???

I gotta go beat last years times!

Went not long ago and although the 1/4 time was slower i had a higher terminal speed (apparently this says more power to most!!)

Just wanna go beat last years 1/4 time of 12.7 and also beat this years terminal of 114!!!! Oh yes!!!!!

And if anyone wants some RWYB action but can't make Santa Pod on the 13th, there's RWYB action at Shakespeare County on the 19th and 20th... We'll be there with the dragster..

Hi Jason!

I may well be able to make this as I will be in Milton Keynes with the girlfriend on Sunday, although I doubt my car will do anywhere near your best times!! Why don't u race Joolz in his 400hp car!?!?!? I am a big fan of the 1/4 mile, my best in my mr2 turbo was 12.9 at 108mph.... but they do launch very well....

If you email me your number I will call you on Sunday if I can make it, will probably be after lunch thou...

Twas good when I ran the fiat up there a while back, haven't been on the strip for a while now, but like I say, we're testing the dragster there on that weekend, so I can report back after that if you like... or come on down for the day, if you like the look of the track register to run and away you go...

If you do make it down, come and find us...

Hi Jason,

I'll be there on Sunday pending the weather. I'll be going along with a team from FCCUK (Fiat Coupe Club), they have an annual grudge match with a team from the Nissan 200SX club....should be good fun, both teams will be fielding cars in all states of tune. I just want to see what the Cerb is like down the strip, I have never done the 1/4 mile before, so my first try will probably be a mess. Both teams have organized their event and have a section of parking put aside for their cars, you are welcome to join us if you like? Last year the fastest Fiat posted 12.8 secs, the fastest 200SX was about the same, but he had problems but was running 600bhp!! The Fiat was running around 400bhp.

Super, will certainly come and say hello too!!! a 12.8 second run is fantastic, i did a 12.9 before the car went to joo, but a 12.7 last year! Would hope (weather permitting) to get below 12.7 with a higher terminal speed too!

I raced a 200SX apparently running 360 at the wheels last time, i beat him quite comfortably but was gutted for him because his engine blew after his second run!!!
