This weekend. Anyone else going?
I'll be there all weekend

Last time i took the MX5 I managed a 17.4.... I did better than that in my 1.8 Focus (16.9)

[MX-5 Lazza]

My best time so far is 14.3 I'm not expecting to match that this time though...

[MX-5 Lazza]

Despite my car needing a damn good tune up (J&S pulling too much timing) I managed a 14.0410 which I'm very happy with
Terminal speed was only 94mph which is down from last time where I hit 101mph on a 14.3 run so I think my time was improved this time mostly due to using Hankook RS2 tyres which helped a lot with traction - I got a little wheelspin but otherwise the launch was very good.

Overall the weekend was superb. We got to see a lot of very nice machinery down the strip including the jet car (6.0 seconds and 265mph!), Terry Grants stunt driving and some impressive drifting. There was also a bit of sponsored tottie which is always nice to see

One of my friends borrowed my RX7 and was there going down the strip

I went on Sunday and was looking out for you but didn't see you?? In fact only saw 2 MX-5's on show, thought there might have been a few more..... The Jet car was very impressive! I think it actually pierced my ear drums! lol The drifting was entertaining aswell! A good day out.

All day on Sunday my car was parked right at the back of the camping field next to my tent. I was only running on Saturday when runs were unlimited rather than Sunday when you only got 4 runs for your money (though I only did 4 runs anyway).

Where can I see a picture of your rex? I might have pictures and/or video of it on the strip

I don't seem to have any pictures of that one. Was it running Saturday or Sunday as I didn't take too many on Sat - I was a bit busy

[Vixpy1]

Sunday but not sure when because I was not there!

Oh I see, didn't venture over to the camping bit, but that explains why I didn't see you on the strip Sunday! Shame, would have liked to have seen your run. There were some VERY quick cars there!!

We now have some pictures on the PlanetMX5 forum.
I have video too but it needs a bit of editing so it might be a while...

[FELIX_5]

Some great pics there! Can't believe I didn't see a single '5 go down the strip, must have picked the wrong day! Looks like you had the right idea with the tents!

[MX-5 Lazza]

Yeah, I counted at least 5 other MX5s (as well as Sean, Finn & Myself) running on Saturday. None at all on Sunday though.
