What the track like there is it any good. Hmm well its a 1940's US airbase, so not brilliant. Lee and the crew make it as good as possible, Lee did the track prep for EBI2 and will be using the same glue. Oh and I meant how many of you guys are bringing cars? You bringing the 65? Or will you be testing something new? Rob. Title: Re: 1/8TH mile Drag Racing in Devon, UK Post by: Rocket Ron on July 17, 2008, 21:22:20 pm I'll be there with Boom Boom and maybe another couple of cars, got some arm twisting to do ::)
Title: Re: 1/8TH mile Drag Racing in Devon, UK Post by: Martin Greaves on July 17, 2008, 21:53:35 pm Going to try and get five of us down but only three of them are working at the mo. Got all the parts for mine just need to put it all back together. Glenn's motor is out of the car just need to take the case into work and cut it for 94mm P&B's. Then just put it all back together job done. ;D

I could hope for a good start then roll the rest of the way. :D Title: Re: 1/8TH mile Drag Racing in Devon, UK Post by: Martin Greaves on July 17, 2008, 22:31:28 pm Going to try and get five of us down but only three of them are working at the mo.

Lets see you bring that dog down here then and see Boom Boom not run against it ;) Title: Re: 1/8TH mile Drag Racing in Devon, UK Post by: Prowagen on July 21, 2008, 11:57:02 am Was a good meet on Sunday we had 135 cars registered to drag, not a single AC VW though wich was a shame but I suppose Bug Jam was on! We did have an AC Flat 6 in the form of a late 80's porka.
Plenty of action from the Jap guys and some tidy V8's up there, So there will be some good competiton for the Aircooleds Next time! Lee was proudly flying the Chimay banner at the track too which was given to him by the EBI crew for the track duties there. Hope to see some of you there next time, I will probably be in the hut punching in your race numbers! Rob. Title: Re: 1/8TH mile Drag Racing in Devon, UK Post by: Martin Greaves on July 21, 2008, 18:36:24 pm Rob what times was the Jap stuff running also I'm trying to make the next one with my car. If i do not finish it in time I'm sorry but i do know Ron and Lee are still up for it. I will still be down to help the guys i don't know if that is good or bad thing. :D
Title: Re: 1/8TH mile Drag Racing in Devon, UK Post by: Prowagen on July 22, 2008, 13:16:30 pm I think the best time was by a 4wd Skyline he ran 7.2 in the eighth, equating to an 11 sec 1/4
Next meet i will get my laptop hooked up to the portatree so we can have stats after each event, at the moment we just print out timing slips. Would be great to see your car there, but if its not done will still be good to see a you up there. Don't forget theres trophies for best burn out and best reaction time as well as best apprearing car on track and of course the best times etc. Rob. Title: Re: 1/8TH mile Drag Racing in Devon, UK Post by: Martin Greaves on July 22, 2008, 21:31:49 pm Cool I'm going to try and make it as i need to do some testing. As i got to kick some jock ass in his 70s crap look a like race car. :D Also trophies if i was after them i would be in another club.
