While i was racing at york dragstrip i saw a dozen or more tvr`s having a meeting there and racing too. What a lovley sight. Does anyone know where they were from and are they doing another meet. I was wanting to have a run against one of them but they were just running against each other. My rover v8 is a race spec engine and sounds nice, But i think it is quite hard to find a sound better than a tvr. They brought a smile to my face.

Can't believe I missed that. Last time I was there I was the only TVR racing. Mind you, I raced a Corsa that was running 13s.

I went once when a Tuscan was there, it would be nice to get a few TVRs at the raceway on a rwyb day.

We could even have gone someway to seeing if a cerb was faster than a Sagaris over the standing 1/4 mile.

Richard B was telling me about it on Monday night at the Esholt meeting - it was organised by the guys at West Yorkshire TVRCC.

I offered you the chance to watch the back of my Cerb over the 1/4 mile, but you never responded.......

I'm sure between the West and North Yorks TVRCC we could get enough people?

Such a shame it wasn't posted on PH, could have had a major TVR posse assembled there.

Sorry Jules, I've been having some problems with the man that normally walks in front of my car with a flag at speed events.

However, I supect your 400+ (what ever it is this week) standard car is more than a match for a mere speed 6 engined car. Some day when work doesnt get in the way we can have a play - always assuming I get my flag man back.

How about York Raceway on 24th September on a RWYB day, there is an earlier one on 27-28th August but that clashes with the Harewood TVRCC sprint championship. details of York Raceway are Here with the future events, i wouldn't run mine but if weather is ok would love to film TVRs on the strip.
No excuses for not knowing where and when to go now.

24th Sept doesn't look like a RWYB, but Aug 27/28th is looking good.......

Anyone else fancy it?

27th clashes with the TVRs at Harewood Hillclimb, but 28th is good I think?
