Reading down the list, unless Ollie_M's Ford drinks from the black pump I will have the least powerful car in attendance. Not to worry, I just want to have a go - I didn't buy it for it's 1/4 mile time, just the smile it puts on my face.

I think some people might be waiting for the weather forecast before buying their ticket, but as it stands with this number we should get a fair few runs!

I've been to the VW shows held here with 100+ cars running the strip, and the turnaround time for each car can pretty long.

[MPoxon]

It does look promising so far for getting a few runs in but bare in mind this thread is not a definitive list of everyone who has bought a ticket. The list only the people who have bought a ticket and who have been bothered to add their name to this thread.

In case anyone is worried about weather, or wants to see how the strip works before they commit, I asked Ollie Moore (he who emails us all) about drag strip run tickets on the day and he just confirmed:

Hi David,

Tickets will be available on the day for those who want to join in,

Kind regards

Oliver
