Hey,

Just thought I'd make a thread since I'm going to this, I know it's too late to get a stand and whatnot now but if anyone was going we could make arrangements to park up together anyway, or just get our cars together for a photoshoot?

:)
 
I'll be going for the whole weekend like I did last year.

On Saturday it's just RWYB on the strip, you can pay £25 for unlimited runs on the drag strip, and especially if you get there early, the track is quite quiet! Although I think on Saturday some of the trade stands are open and the drift cars might be practising.

On Sunday it's the main show day, that's when all the show cars get put on display, some of the more professional drag cars go on the strip, handling track is open, stunt show and all that stuff. However the strip is still open, £20 for 4 runs.
 
if you want to do rwyb saturday is the better day, if you want to go see cars on stands sunday is the better day, i wouldn't waste money doing rwyb on the sunday, you will spend most of the day in a queue for the strip and miss the rest of the show

That's what I said ;)

But I agree with you, a stupid mate of mine spent the whole sunday waiting for the strip. Not only is it busy but they close it off for an hour at a time when the drag cars go on it as well.
 
me and chris in the modded white t-jet will be there, im looking to run mine up the strip on saturday dunno how a 176bhp punto will do up it but will be interesting to find out

That's what I like to hear! I met Chris at the fast show last year but that was when his punto was broke so I never got to see it.

When I had 173bhp my quickest run was a 15.28 so if you get your launches and gearchanges perfect then you should be able to get the same figure.
 
I pretty damn close i will probably drive down both days, I really want to take my Car on the strip, need to get my new tyres on for it though! Need more torque for the acceleration! :D Love being petrol car with Diesel torque! Problem is cant get it all down at the moment :(
