Well there will be a few of us up there to see the racing, and help 'frank' fix his car when he breaks it Grin I hope there will be plenty of cars up there. is the invitation open to the european guys?

Would love to see the Euro guys along!

That would be awsome If some of the Euro guys could make it?  Grin

OK guys I think everyone should stop going on and just let us know more about the event and less about the BS!

How about those boys that are confirmed post up some specs and pics of their cars? It could be like a drag day top trumps Cheesy

It's a standard Peak Performance Test & Tune day , so 100 people limit , I've been to plenty before , and you usually get 5-10 runs , depending on if you have problems with the car .

That and the fact that it's mostly people that are serious about their cars , so you don't tend to get junk there .

We'll be there, tickets arrived yesterday  Wink



No idea on what times we'll run though as it's a totally new engine / box set up for 09

2276, 48 idas, fk89, 044 heads etc. Should see us a bit quicker than the low 15's of last year.

Really looking forward to it!

Would be cool if you could make it Neil, maybe a good opportunity for a few shakedown runs on a well prepped track....

I'll probably cruise down with you lot - I'm not far geographically from you so perhaps meet up before we jump on the motorway. We'll sort it closer to the time! Wink
