Phuk! Derek emailed me about half an hour ago and said he would have them. Bend his ear maybe.I will bring them down and another pair of 5 stud spares without tyres and we can talk.

Hmmm if I was a nice fair sportsman I would let you have those tyres Neal.
Mac has a set that I was going to borrow so my runs should be on decent rubber which will help Do you spin at all on the ET's ?
How much nitrous are you going to run ??

Neal, I'm stopping at Macs on the Friday and going for a few beers, ru joining us?
Sounds a plan to me Neal, I'm stopping at Macs on the Friday and going for a few beers, ru joining us?

You can spin them up on the wet patch but when the track was warm, ( as well as the tyres) you can dump the clutch at full revs with little spin with the Mickies!
cool, so I should get a good get away for once. When Baz launched off for his ten they worked well. So not many people signed up for this then, we need to get it on the other TVR forums get some other TVR's there.
Who is camping over ?

So I post a link to this in the other TVR sections to generate some interest and they get deleted....
I don't know why we bother organizing anything on here. I mean a link back promoting something were doing is hardly crime of the century. (only to TVR sections)
Not like I'm advertising a business or selling products.
And nobody ever goes into the TVR Events section.
Well I hope the jobsworth who deleted it feels proud now, because at some point people will have enough and leave! you constantly target the wrong people who post on here and make it what it is..
Rant over, so shall I spin up a new Server and stick some forum software on it......

Sign of the times bloke and I agree with you, what's the bloody harm in promoting a TVR event to other TVR owners who may be interested, sI don't know why we bother organizing anything on here. I mean a link back promoting something were doing is hardly crime of the century. (only to TVR sections)

t even may come back posting pictures on other forums creating even more interest on PH! Yet, some (and we know who) are allowed to blatantly plug their business untouched which is totally out of order

I noticed that I couldn't better a 0-60ft, 2.4 seconds with my shagged R1Rs but did a 1.65 with the Micky Ts. Hmm.
Bloody hell if I could have got that 1.65 to 60ft at Shakey that would give me a 12.6 ET 
I was 2.09 and 2.27 on my R888s. Makes you think.

it was still cold that time of the year not an ideal combo .... But its fun anyway but slightly frustrating at the same time 
just for the die hard RV8 fans go straight to 1.10 seconds a 9 in the making

Which is the only reason I'm returning for another go and it's a right good craic. The times matter but not really that relevant in the real world. I'd still rather have my nice idle and low speed manners than another 1/2 second because I have a more aggressive cam installed. I'm happy with my little 885
Of course if I muster a blinding time you'll never hear the end of it

I thought that 2.4 sounded a bit stupid. On checking, the best with my shagged set of Toyo R1Rs was 1.84 seconds and another four or five runs in between that and 1.97 seconds.
