Hiya Rob,

Unfortunately, we're not running the dragster at all this weekend, and I've been offered a passenger seat @ Vmax...

If you do go and enjoy it, I'll let you know next time we're RWYB'ing and you can come down and see us...

Just remember;

1.) you don't have to nail it off the startline.
2.) you don't need to do a burnout, it will probably make no difference if you do anyway..
3.) don't wait for the green light, if you do, your RT will be crap..
4.) keep going past the finish line, at shakey the line is after the boards..
5.) there are two turn-off's at shakey, if you don't want to hit the brakes for the first one, don't, you can roll onto the end of the track and turn off there.
6.) I'm not sure whether helmets are mandatory at the moment, if you have one, take it.. if you don't phone Wendy Talbot (her details are on the shakespeare county website) and check...
7.) HAVE FUN!
8.) If you want any more details or have ANY questions, give me a call...

Hope those help...
