Good luck with it Andy, if you can find a way to increase your top speed and reduce drag i think you could well be a contender.

Just remember to take your own timing gear, for when theirs packs up, and they start guessing it

because of our top speed and the fact that its now over a mile rather than 3/4 mile I dont think we stand a chance of winning it TBH.

Gonna give it full beans... will be a good yard stick for when I go back next year with the rest of the mods I plan smile

Of cause, be rude not to smile but power isn't the only thing I have planned... I plan to loose another 50kgs thus making it 100kgs lighter than std, the aero mods to rear clam.. few mods of my own to front end and an entire new interior and dash.

might be worth runing it with and without the rear wing to see what effect it has on speed / times

is it an event we can come along and watch ?

I'm goona book regardless even though I'll get walloped as not sure you can just spectate.

While down perhaps go for Curry with the '600' boys on the evening. Then at Silverstone next day for track day might as well do both...

They don't seem to like us any more

from their site

The target vehicle for entry will be standard vehicles or cars with tuning capable of being used on a daily basis. Such cars will be afforded priority on entry. Modified cars will be accepted in very limited numbers. Any modified cars must be unsignwritten, taxed, tested and road insured.

I thought the event had always primarily been about standard cars, IIRC it started out as a reenactment of a TG episode where a TVR Cerbera raced other manufacturers cars of the day. Hence they've always been a bit reticent to invite too many highly modified cars for fear it could become a kind of RWYB event. However, I don't see why a modified Noble can't be used on a daily basis so why wouldn't it get an entry?

Exactly smile. I thought they just wanted to to deter entries from 'specials' such as MadRod's ballistic Sierra, either that or they just didn't want Adrian to attend. wink
