There was talk mid afternoon of a mid week meet at the Pod - apparently if you get 30+ cars together, you get the track to yourself......
Now THAT would be fun! driving thumbup

Yes please! Later in the week is always better for me. Think we should get some suggested dates and start a poll smile

Hi Chris, gld you enjoyed the little time you got, but you did extremely well on those crappy tires. If you had DR's on....................... Anyway, now you've got the bug, see you next time?

ETA: That bloody Kiwi's a dark horse eh?

As I was not able to make the drag day at Shakey this weekend, I was thinking of going along to the following drag day there: -

www.shakespearecountyraceway.com/eventdetails.asp?event=43

After all... we do have Chevvy engines!

Wouldn't mind giving some Mustangs a run for their money. Hoping that it is an open event.

What do you guys think?

Cheers,
Kyle.

0.74kw = 1BHP or thereabouts.
Just multiply or divide by 0.75 for a close guess. (divide by 3, multiply by 4 or vica verca)
