2015 Forced Induction meet plus guests

[macdeb]

Blokes, since there has been much talk of a FI meet I have been informed by DBV8 that there is a RWYB meet at Shakespeare Raceway on Sat' 18-4-15. They advertise to facilitate club meets for the weekend as I read it, so if there is sufficient interest should we enquire further? Stay over? Obviously non-FI cars welcome and it would be an early date to aim for and a chance to catch up, have a chat, look, admire, race each other off the line and generally take the piss. Anyone up for it?
Posted here as Chimaeras seem to be at forefront for this kind of thing, though if any Griffs, Cerbs', Tuscans, Sags' etc think there're hard enough,,, then you'd be more than welcome.

Thoughts?

Otherwise to be known as The Spring Blow-up?

Fantastic idea, I will be there. I haven't had the opportunity to try a timed run yet.

I might bring some driveshafts to make sure you can all get home!

[Sardonicus]

If these guy's engines are producing anywhere near the pressure that their blowhard talk has over the months; you had better bring a truckload

Always a pleasure to watch [other people] break things.
I'm putting this one in my diary

Wait till FI grab second or third

Already looking forward to this.

Its all about finding that small window where grip is good enough to pull you cleanly off the start line with but not enough grip to take an enthusiastic bootfull of over 400 bhp and risk snapping a driveshaft.

All will be safe on road and track tyres i would expect. Drag radials and similar need to be treated with respect. They are awesome when warm and sticky after a smokey burnout.

I'm up for this. I do hope Daz comes along

Daz in our entertainment guru.


Always a pleasure Daz and you always put in good consistent times )

[Sardonicus]

That's the beauty of drag racing while Daz is on the strip he cant bash your earholes

[Richard 858]

T'was only in jest, I do love you really Daz

[BoostedChim]

Sounds good, I'm in

[LongBaz383BHP]

Look forward to this. Camping and beers and wine and Derek's chilli.

I only have road tyres so most likely won't have anywhere near enough grip to break anything, although that may translate to an embarrassingly slow run!!

No such thing as embarrassingly slow.
Do you have 4 stud? You can borrow my tyres for a run or 2 if you like.
