It could be perfect for a TVR drag racing get together at York and it looks like it could be fairly quiet in the RWYB pits due to another event close by, so there will be much more tracktime than last years Easter meeting. 17 cars turned up and got on track last year and despite it being very busy had a great time.

Let me know if your interested in some 1/4 mile fun.

No there weren't any S's. This is because we will get whooped by anything from a Wedge 350 upwards. frown

It all depends on what your wheel sizes are but im guessing a pair new would set you back around £200.
If Chimaera wheels fit then maybe i could lend you a pair for a couple of runs.
I have a pair of fronts that havent been used yet!

Yeah i did try them and they will cover it but not for road use just to be installed in the car and it is like £250 extra a year to have it so just cant be bothered with the hassle its a nice kit too. but as i said bought it second hand and made a tidy profit on it wink
