yes, in the 170's at the mile just got there fairly quickly! Went up against it and he pulled a good 100m lead but the the gap stayed consistant.

Yes...spendng almost a grand for a joke...would piss a anyone off. Thats an expensive record, and I have no time for incompetent fools. Im perfectly within my rights to alert everyone to their inabilities, especially when taking hard earned cash from people.

But at least things went smoothly for you all this year....I guess they learnt from last year.

SO what about the results...I thought there were a few Holdens entered this year ?

Yes I appreciate last year didn't run smoothly and you aired yours views numerous times previous to the event and i'm sure put a number of folks off...However this is a positive thread to say this year was great fun..and well worth the £99. Lets leave it at that.

Anyway there were only the two VXR8s this year(results are in the original post) as the Monaros both had to pull 'owing to technical difficulties', would loved to have seen Jez V Harry

Wormus, you should have been there mate, your car would have seriously kicked butt.
This type of event is exactly what these cars were built for, steady launches so no traction or clutch issues.

Oh! and two miles of runway

[crisisjez]

Results are in.......


Phil you did a total of 15 runs

You absolute best run was a time of 31.47 with a speed of 168.59

Your absolute best 1/4 was 12.932.

(And your car was a blast to drive even though I missed 5th on the run and got creamed by you in Soph`s Astra )

Sounds awesome too, still deaf from the Dartford Tunnel


Stiggy.... your total was 8 runs

Absolute best time was 33.882

Absolute best speed was 154.46

Absolute best 1/4 was 13.709

Having driven yours 20yds....I STILL WANT ONE


Sophie did a total of 8 runs (Some confustion with the numbers as we car shared)

Absolute best run was 34.186 with a speed of 149.34

Absolute best 1/4 was 13.615.


Thank you Colin and Javelin for a really grinworthy day out

Well you were very busy chatting, thought you would have noticed though.
(I wasn`t going to but Phil was pleading to have a run in Sophs Astra so what could I do eh )
Next time you can have a go in mine mate
