Spotted a Fellow Yank Pick up

[MCFADDEN]

A bit of a lightweight post I know...but spotted a lovely Dodge Ram 1500 in Red cruising up the middle lane of the M11 to Stansted this evening as I passed by in my F150 Supercharged!

What a looker & the Ram was nice too...!

Looked a bit of real Americana as the sun was setting.

Bring that F150 to Garys Picnic at Avonpark (Shakey)last weekend in May.
Hitch up with the Rebel V8 guys, you will be made welcome

[HD Adam]

Yeah, come and race with us

Yep you know it makes sense !!

[MCFADDEN]

Thanks Guys!

Where is Avonpark & what is happening there?

This racing thing sounds tempting, although my pick up is completely standard ( apart from LPG option )

Still quick enough to surprise a few on my commute when the urge arises!

[HD Adam]

Ok, what was Avon Park in the good old days is now called Shakespeare County Raceway. As you might guess from the name, it's near Stratford upon Avon in the Midlands.

This is Gary's Picnic/Yanks Weekend and it's on May 30/31st. This is an all Yank event and a RWYB so you can race your own car down the 1/4 mile. You will need a crash helmet, current drivers license and long sleeves/trousers to race.



Come and race with us in our pick-ups and see how you stack up against the competition

We'll be in these so you can't miss us.

Thanks for the info!

Those pics look like you fella's may have slightly tweaked yours!

Exhaust on frontside of the rear wheels on a Harley...

What should a standard HD Supercharged average over a quarter mile & how would that compare with say a hot hatch?

[HD Adam]

No, bone stock, honestly. Ok, well maybe tweaked a little bit Well spotted on the exhaust though.
When my HD was stock, I ran a best of 14.9 seconds over the quarter mile. That will keep up or beat a lot of hot hatches. You should be able to get a high 14, low 15 if you can launch it successfully.
So, come and give it a go if you like. Word of warning though. It doesn't take much to get hooked then start modifying for more performance.
