Pah! I'll have to satisy myself with enjoying the corners on the way back...I doubt very much I'll be outdragging anything...

But it'll be a top laugh anyway! Really looking forward to it now...

[craigw]

I shouldnt worry, last time the Griff 500's and 400's left being able to hold their heads very high.

[ehasler]

Does anyone have the results from last time, so we know what we'll be up against?

[craigw]

I have them somewhere, from memory

192 was Daz's 996TT X50
189 was Derestrictors 993TT
185 For the Ferrari 512TR and the Diablo
The Tuscan S, Cerbera 4.5, Ferrari 360 all did 176
The Griff & Chim 500's 160ish

any other cars just ask, I have a fairly good memory.

Craig, looking at your list, only one 360 spider mentioned (Pani). Hope you haven't forgotten about me?

Is that a list of the cars running only?

[craigw]

dont worry Ninja, you're in.

[dazren]

My Brunters II top speed was 192 with Ultra Violent in the passenger seat. The last event I think my top speed was something like 179 into strong headwinds, I do remember there was only a 3mph difference between Derestrictor and myself. Accordingly he has chucked the armchairs out, fixed some buckets and had a flux capacitor installed.

Only one Tuscan S as well - are Alf Essex (Alan) and I both in?

Really looking forward to this!

[mr_tony]

last time top speeds were somewhat lower as Daz said cos of the headwind, fingers crossed for a tailwind to push the mighty X50's over to double ton!

Drivers get first dibbs on caps.

Spectators wait in car park, if you do happen to be late, get Greg's tel number from the gatehouse and call him, he/I will arrange for you to be shepherded to the runway.

My god, I didn't think 348s would be that quick!

It was the(my) GTS which is uprated from the standard TS(it will be coming on sunday, please make Will welcome guys), it is decatted and has sports exhaust&filters. A right screamer, I'm looking forward to seeing it again. (greg may not be )

ditto, i've always ruled it out as a 'proper' Ferrari as it was deemed to be to slow soooo looking forward to Sunday, even more so after this last bought of posts.

Pump up the tyres and fold the wing mirrors here I come (to get my ar*e kicked )

I think it may surprise the 355's a little

[grimbo]

Craig,i have mailed you but not sure you are there.
OK people looks like there is a place free as i haven't got my car back from having a service and a bit of work done to the door opening mechanism.Just heard the opener has fallen to bits today and can't be fixed or bodged without the risk of it opening any time.Hopefully fixed monday which is to late for vmax.
Boo Hoo.
I guess you'll have to get in touch with craig if interested.
Sorry guys was looking forward to this.

Looks like another Tuscan may be pulling out. Apparently there is a problem with the brake master cylinder, I will know tomorrow whether it will be ready, but it is looking unlikely.
