Not wishing to upset either the police or neighbours !
- does anyone know of a suitable site either mid week or
a weekend where we could start a V8 RWYB car and ideally
practice a couple of starts ?
It does not have a radiator so she can only run for
about 2 minutes - maybe 2 or three times at max
and then she needs putting away as she gets too hot.

We would only want to do this a couple of times out
of season whilst we check the electrics / engine running.

Ideally once this month and next month.

(We have approached a couple of well known motoring
sites but they appear to be concerned about the noise).

She has exhausts but not tested this year guessing between
68 (which is what they wanted it to be under ) and 100dB.

You may find Longcross is very sensitive to noise - we had problems when we used to run rallies there.

I believe that's because it's being turned into a housing estate, not the noise.

Charlie has found new premises in Farnborough. Should be up and running by April.

Might have to change the company name though...
