Run What Ya Brung fun 2014

[db484bhpv8]

I aim to be taking part in the first Uk Power Tour.
This event is open to all and will include a great variation of cars from standard classics running 20 second 1/4s to monster V8 street legal drag racers running 7’s!
There are a few TVRs entered already maybe some more of you will want to take part. Check it out here http://www.v8uk.co.uk/uk-power-tour/
The weekend consists of 3 days drag racing and driving the same car to and from the strips.
Saturday is on the South coast at Rye, then onto Shakey that night for racing on Sunday, and finally up to York for the Monday.

So who would be up for a TVR meet up at Shakey?
Its RWYB all weekend so why not come along early on the Saturday and join in the fun on track while its relatively quiet.
I will be arriving later and camping overnight before racing on Sunday. So BBQ and beers will be the plan.

What a good idea Derek

I'll be up for the Saturday at least.

Hopefully set a 12.4 or thereabouts!

Now, can I be persuaded to stay in a tent................

[billy no brakes]

Is it RYE in east Sussex on the Saturday and can you do just that day, I might be up for it if it is

[phazed]

Just to get the dates correct, Saturday the 24th of May, Sunday the 25th and Monday the 26th.

So the proposal is generally for the quieter Saturday at Shakey for a get together with possible "night over"?

Derek, which flavour of gearbox do you run on the Chimaera? Hope you don't mind me asking.

T5 that was rebuilt by John Reid with a few improvements and an 8000 mile gearset from a Sagaris that was in for a close ratio set.

Yes but its a 'mini' drag meet. Just 120 yards long. Should be fun tho

[db484bhpv8]

Ive had it confirmed that despite the weekend being 'Garys Picnic' all cars are welcome on the strip for RWYB.
So hopefully i will arrive to see a good turnout of TVRs brandishing PB timing slips

[phazed]

So all we need now is a list of interested parties.

who's interested in the Saturday with a possible stay over till the Sunday?

How could one resist the possibility of spoons Mac. Count me in. Not ot like that.

[phazed]

So that's 3 regulars.

All we need is the irregulars now............

I fancy a bit of camping and beers, then try the lightweight flywheel/ clutch combo, untested on the strip! Sub 10.5 would be nice!

repeated for Mac

[macdeb]

Ah, bugger. read to fast and thought it said 'which gearbox OIL did you run

[db484bhpv8]

I think there will be a few people moving up the rankings this year.
I predict a plethora of 11's

[phazed]

So, just to bump this up.

Those who fancy their chances in achieving a pb or just have a bit of a laugh trying, sign up here.

In order of appearance or thereabouts, believe we have the following.
