Oh sarcasm, is it. 
If I tuned up it would be with the popcorn and the fun of watching the fireworks. I wouldn't let my car do the screaming high rev thing for all the tea in china.
with the possible exception of someone mapping my car when I finally go emerald
Either way, definitely be there!
PS. I have changed tact on the phoenix development, and have decided I will share the full gory techy details, but not online, when the full DVD is done, you and others interested will get a copy as long as I have a signed NDA in return

Oh thats good news. P.S. I'm now confused, your website nearly deafened me with glitz and promptly fell over when all I could hear was the sound of screeching tyres and then nothing......
Now I do sit behind an NHS firewall and most stuff falls over, but was this about the santa pod stuff or the austec rolling road.
I have a feeling I might need a box for the answer.

If you're referring to Ashs/Nicks Austec drag race video, then it didn't play properly for me with Netscape but then I tried with Explorer and it was fine.

Who's car is the black Cerb in the vids? Looks rather rapid....
that's the late great jason bennet in his 4.5 (jasonben off here) .. emeralded cerbie running 390brake. a 12.3 / 119mph regular
and king of demon starts. some of those runs in the vids were with a broken gearbox too!
the other rapid black cerbie is the 4.2 of david smith off here .. i think he did a 12.9 which for a 4.2 is stunning. he also gets great traction off hte loine, unlike me :s
...cause I shall be away on the 8th, so cannot make it

We've booked
would appreciate any advice for a complete novice though, I've been to santa pod loads of times in the past and they all do a burnout at the start, we don't have to do that, do we??
The good thing about not doing a burn-out is that if th wheels spin up badly off the line, you can blame it on cold slippery tyres. If you do a burn out and still fluff the start, you are kind of cornered!

ok...so no burn out..not that I would have been able to do one anyway and Mark keeps telling me I'm going to fluff the start by stalling it 
If anyone wants to put their name down...its now on PH calendar
