We are having a rolling road shoot out at Richard Bros down in Redruth on Saturday March 3rd and they are a couple places available for anyone wishing to bring their TVR along.
We've got some great cars going already with the soundtrack including a genuine 450 SEAC, 4.5 Cerb, Vixen, S series, M series, 500 Griff, and a couple of Chimaeras.

Any takers? Rough cost about £30.

I'd love to but I will be in Canada that weekend. The Tusc will just be back from a little fettle at Dulfords as well.

Just 6 days to go...

I must admit I'm not looking forwards to watching someone else thrashing the Chim for me. The last time I let someone drive the Chim we ended up doing donuts in the pub carpark - Ey Denton punch!

On the other hand, it'll be awesome to stand behind and hear my own TVR for a change...
Anyone got any suggestions for comedy prizes for the worst performance?

Umm this thread is about a rolling road do Andy. If you fancy doing the dragstrip day by all means pop along. 1/8 mile will hopefully be not too much to test your reliability issues.

Not my car mate, TVR Power's which was super reliable just the suspension that was fettled with to Mark's requirements.
At least our car made it back!

Come along next Saturday, be nice to see what the Griff puts out.

More than welcome! beer

Email me for more details.

Beware though! Could be financially disasterous If the results aren't what you expected you could well be travelling up to Austec to get fettled!

AAhh! I remember now, the temp was dipping around and so we put it on the trailer to ensure we didn't cook the heads. Dicky sensor. My cars in for its Rollcage, so I can't make the R/R session, but I may do the 1/8 mile in June if its on with you guys. June..warm tyres...hhhmmm! Shame its only 1/8 as I said. I'm still wheelspinning then.
