We all had a great day out, it was a bit like the Drag race day at Shakeys.... except there were no queues at all.
What a pity there wasn`t more of us there


2 Whole miles of runway and no filth to stop the fun.

Thats my idea if heaven

No, just the first one, but it would have been rude not to keep the foot in a little


Soph managed a Quarter mile time of 13.6 sec the mile in 34sec and an Elapsed Speed of 148.

Mine wern`t published as we car shared

Just to echo Jez, was a brilliant day.....Jez hope you liked the drive in the VXR8

My times were 32sec at 166.7mph

Think Stig was circa 34 at 156mph

Post some vids tomorrow.
