Anyone going? Might be a good practice for Fighting Torque for those going to that.

Yep. Whether we'll get past the noise police is another matter.

Brunters 7th July - check the V-max section on the gassing station. I'd be suprised if they have any spaces left now as they have just sent details out to us luck few who applied.

Nope. If I get on (noise) I'm aiming for 190+

I will be in Mauritius on that date to attend my Daughters wedding ( some such talk of giving her away or something, I don't know? ) and so will not be able to participate but even even I were here, I think the noise limit would prohibit it. I don't wish to be a party pooper but I would be very surprised if ANY Ultimas will be allowed to run ( Brunters are very strict on noise, ask Blue ) unless they have a seriously modified quite exhaust.

P.S. I would just like to say that I could, I say COULD, be wrong but it is very unlikely. I was wrong about something once, March 1982 it was, around 8.40a.m. on a Saturday morning but as you may have already guessed, it was not my fault nono

We can't lose. We get through we run. We don't, we sit on the side line and tell ho the box is geard to 228!! Simple. I wrote the book!!

I've just asked Craig what the limit is. Waiting for an answer. Think it might be 97 Eeek!!

The last run at Brunters in an Ultima was Gman - his car was too noisy after a couple of runs and was asked to stop. At one stage they thought my porker was too noisy with standard exhaust

According to the VMax wseb site, Crazy posted a 163mph there in his Can-Am, doesn't give a date though.

Well I did mention about it before......that's before I heard they could put rather a strain in the car.

Dunno - If something is gonna go, I'd rather be out there doing it, than running on the spot.
