Anyone fancy this event we normally go, last year it was freezing the year before shorts and a T shirt (English weather).

We can park in the paddock but we do need to buy tickets which from memory were £10.00 each will advise cost and contact details as soon as I have them.

Parking is in a reserve area.

I am still running standard exhaust system so it reads 95db at 4000, dull but necessary to compete.

Would love to join you as "nothing doing" here, but it might take several moonths to get to there!!
Just for the record , appart from a "Joke" of a speed event last week on a gritted runway,where the timing lights didn,t and times incorrect (4.6 at 654mph!) Venom,s been stuck in the garage for months! Getting a nice cobweb finish in the engine bay!......roll on UK speed events and NOS

I could see the shock waves in front of the car!....err..not!
For the record my times (when the timing did work) on that poxy surface (got some nice chips for my efforts)
were..13.7....13.0....12.9...after which I decided the 4 hours drive back home was the best bet!..roll on TOTB,T.V,Brunters top speed days...

Thanks for coming guys great day hope I don't get a letter from Mr Speed Camera.

Sorry I buggered off for an hour but my mate with no pit crew needed me.

Pity the gen II had trouble keeping up with the SRT

Terrific day, great to meet you all and the cars. Promise not to wear a Corvette Club shirt and to clean the car next time out! Sorry to go AWOL around lunchtime but got waylaid by some old friends.
