How often do you guys get together and where ?
I could come along in my family car and lower the street cred...

There's a thread at the top telling what we get up to. I update the first post for easy reference. Things are slowing down now for winter but we still have stuff going on.

sorry its took me so long to reply, Ive been very busy with my new born son. He is taking up all my spare time. My vehicle is a orange jago jeep running a rover V8 with a race built 4ltr and a shot of nitrous. It currently has a chevy TH350 gearbox and a ford 9" axel with a four link set up on it. It will do a standing 1/4 in 12.2@109mph. Its not fast enough so over winter i plan to make my 4 ltr in to a 5 ltr and a generous amount of nitrous and should make it into the 10s. Its all just a bit of fun, everyone wants to go faster dont they ! The road leagle car that will beat R1 is a audi S2 quattro with a 9ltr big block chevy that produces 1200Hp (no there is reaily two noughts on the end) and it has nitrous on top of that, Runs 1/4 in 8.2@172mph and 0-60 is 1.9sec. it is fantastic to watch it go.

Hey jago, I can vouch for those figures, as I was at a meet at York (in August?) and saw that amazing Audi perform.
Street legal !!!
Like to see the Subaru guys get p'd on at the traffic lights gran prix. LOL !

PS - I'm from near Stockton, and a big dragrace fan.

Grahamw48. Did you see the lad in the white opel manta, As i was the guy linning him up on the burn out strip. He also runs a rover v8. You dont realise how small this world is.
That audi ran the quickest street leagl speed at york at 171mph but his PB is at (i think) avon park.

Sorry mate, but I only eyeball cars and wimmin (not necessarily in that order)

I don't remember the Manta, but I was chatting to the guy with the beautiful V8 Firenza (10-11 sec ET ? ).
He'd driven it over from Manchester !
In a previous post I asked who owned the red TVR d/head that I noticed just leaving as I arrived.

They're a friendly bunch on the drag circuit, and I'm sure the PHers will have a great time next year.

If only the newbies could be treated to a Top Fueller
in action

Now that would make ANY Tiv seem quiet as a church mouse.

For that matter - even bluddy Concorde !
