Incredible numbers lads, have you an idea of how many more showing/spectating? Gonna be one of the biggest aircooled gatherings in the country for a good few years!
Really looking forward to heading down : )

any members having a go on the dyno Saturday get over to the board room and book your slot


please note the dyno shot out is for paid up drag day racers only.

Where do we have to book our spot? Sorry not on the forum very often so don't know where to look.

Also I've booked two cars in for the drag racing, one is my beetle and the other is a watercooler, can they both be dynoed or just the beetle?

provisional racers sheets

provisional racers sheets

these racing group sheets are provisional only I need more info .

the group your in will be called to race. you can race anyone in your group , this should keep the racing interesting , nothing worse than a 24 second car racing a 14 second car .

at the end of the day what counts is your time over the quarter so your racing the clock ,racing another car of near equal ability helps.


group 1.jpg

group 2.jpg

group 3.jpg

group 4.jpg

group 5.jpg

like a said these are provisional only. on the day if a car is clearly miles quicker than others in its group then we can move it to a group with faster cars.

Ahhh.. now things are getting interesting :D

From experience, have you an idea what sort of times people should be expecting (or aiming for :p) based on the groups you've put them in Dave? For example, Group 5... 12-15 seconds.. ?

I would guess

group 1/ 18 to 24 seconds
group 2/ 22 to 30 seconds
group 3/ 18 to 23 seconds
group 4/ 15 to 17 seconds
group 5/ 12 to 14 seconds
