Have NEPHers ever considered a drag racing day at York Dragstrip. Could meet up with Yorkshire PHers and have a TVR v Ferrari v Porsche shootout. Might be an idea for next summer?

There`s a dragstrip on the outskirts of York called York Raceway. At most of their events they have `Run Wot U brung` where roadcars can race for around £15. All you need is a helmet and a driving license. You also get to see some stupidly fast cars and bikes. You should have a look on their website.

I have done quite a few years ago when I was driving mark 2 escorts and 3Ltr Capri`s and stuff. It would be nice to see what time I could run the 1/4 in the Chim though.

I know what you mean about not wanting to break anything, I`d be the same but it`d still be fun for a couple of runs. It`d be good to see how the Tivs faired against other marques too. It`s also good to see 1950`s Ford Pops and stuff running 9 or 10 second standing 1/4`s.

Would be good as long as the weather is OK.

I would`nt want to totally thrash the arse off my car either but I suppose if you don`t go too wild off the start line then after that its just a quick blast through the first 3 gears or so. I bet you all do that now and again anyway!?

Quickest 0-60? Better ask the bikers I suppose.

I know, a lot of my mates have bikes including an R1. I`m sick of coming 2nd! Now where can I get some nitrous again?

Does anyone on here have a car that stays with bikes? Had a close one with a Blade once but it just made me think it was a slow one.
