***Essex - North Weald Test & Tune - Sunday 13th May***

[Vicky.]

I'm a donut for posting this up so late so apologies for the late notice!

Anyway, as always this is a brilliant day out whether you sit and watch the track action or get involved and see what 1/4 mile time you can acheive. You get all types of cars on track from your bog standard 1.4 fiesta or Civic Type R to amazing sounding V8 Hot Rods so it's really good to watch and there's a variety of cars if you do go on track.

It's cheap to watch and cheap to race plus it's local and the weather is supposed to be good this weekend. What's not to like!?

I'll come up for a laugh .. watching, not racing.

Do I need to bring my Towing-Bar incase you blow it up ? :rasp:


Maybe about 11am if that's not too late ? I'll probably do one by about 2pm to watch the F1 and get some grub.

 

[rs 1an]

we will come, its good fun last time we went an ice cream van went up, lets hope the rain keeps off,

 

[tom172cup]

I might try and pop along to this and have a look at your nitrous install vicky as I may have to up my game now as your TBd.

 

[Jekyll]

I've got the day off work so I'll be there to watch

Lol still no competition I'm afraid. Think yours would kick mine!

It'll be a nervy day for me as I've not used the NOS with ITB's yet so will be the first time I've had a full go with 250+bhp. Scary! Especially as Ben's 197 spat his nitrous out in the way of a piston recently. :S

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

What's it like for spectators, Vicky ?!

Anywhere 'obvious' to meet up ?

I'll put my towing bar and tools in the boot haha !

 

[Vicky.]

There's a big car park for spectators and plently of places for everyone to meet up. LOL! might be wise.

 

[Vicky.]

I'm both sorry and annoyed. Apparently after getting the car up on a ramp I need new driveshafts and the nos distributor couldn't fill
my bottle today so I now won't be going tomorrow.

There is another date coming up soon so I'll post well in advance and we'll make a meet of it.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Ahh that's a shame :dapprove:

 

[Jekyll]

I'm still going anyway. Hope you get your car fixed Vicky.

Those speed bumps would have eaten my car for breakfast, still I had fun in the 3 seater R26 though!

vicky the next one is on june 17th same day as the french car show, how about about a meet at north weald at the squadron on sunday 3rd june, might be an idea to contact the airfield see if all okay though:approve: best car on the day was a black audi rs4 the traction off the line was superb.

 

[Vicky.]

I suspected it might fall on the same day. Shame really but there is another date later on (will have to check it). Yes squadron meet sounds good to me, send over a PM to discuss as as I'd like to see what the issues were with the last meets at the squadron. Then I'll send something onto them.
