Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Seconded. I won't race though. My Audi is too fast and I don't want to risk my NOS blowing the welds on the intake just to race some Clios! Psshh.

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
I thought it was going to go bang the other day, when it wouldn't start that sh*t me right up.
For an engine that's got tin foil gaskets and is held together by hopes & dreams,
i'm amazed it works at all haha.

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
I genuinely don't know why you keep saying that lol. If I was driving faster, it was to keep up. That point I ended up in front of you was 'cause I got left behind and when I overtook people, I got stuck. >.<I always thought your motor was slow...but it seemed to develop extra grunt when out with those Subarus yesterday! :race:

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Will set up a new thread for this soon but just gauging interest at the minute.
Thinking we should do a 'RunWhatYaBrung' session asap before the weather goes totally tits up on us.
Price is £12 per person admission and then a 'track fee' of £25 which gives unlimited runs.
Spoke to them about dates and theres not many left this year so I'm going to provisionally say Sunday 14th October?
How does this sound?

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Not too expensive to buy one that'll get us on the strip,
I wouldn't enter any races with it but it'll do for 1/4 mile blasts.

£62.30 delivered.
Santa Pod don't require helmets for cars that cross the line under 100mph,
not sure if they've got ant RWYB days coming up though.

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Helmets, mine is kite marked etc for motorcycle use so while not brilliant if its good enough for a motorcycle I'm sure it'll be okay in our cars up to 90mph, it was circa £30 throuch ebay new, retails at
£70 as for hiring I can imagine they do, something I forgot to ask when I emailed Jerry, will send him another now and ask.

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Stratford Raceway has made it mandatory for all runs regardless of top speed,
the Pod are more relaxed up to 100mph.
Edit : Holy sh*t ebay helmets are piss cheap.

Any certifications for use on strip or track that I need to be aware of? #Novice
Its not as big an issue in the car on the ¼ mile...as you are not running some kind of jet powered beast!

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
Yeah exactly Dave, eBay helmets are fine for what we need. I'd be happy to use a motorcycle one for the odd trackday too, obviously tested a fair bit.
Seems there'll be a better atmosphere at Shakey then Pod, and possibly more runs etc as doesn't seem it'll be quite as busy.

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
To be fair Matt, I can see where you're coming from but I think a motorcycle helmet or whatever will be perfectly adequate considering Pod you wouldn't use one at all do doesn't need to be OTT.

Re: Drag Racing at Shakesphere
If I was going on a proper track day where it's possible I could flip the car and die then i'd spend some money,
but I blast up empty duel carriageways almost everyday wearing nothing more than a smile,
so for a quick blast in a straight line up to 90 odd, I think a budget one will be fine.
