Dragstalgia!

Post by Adrian Worman »

Only a couple of weekends away, an absolutely brilliant event and an excellent warm up for the big one :thumbright:
RWYB as well but track time limited Sunday

hoping to run my slingshot for the first time at this event (limited running not too much of a problem as it will probably break anyway :D ) and if not in the slingshot then in the Dart. Or both if I can get someone else to bring the Dart or tow the slingshot (no tow bar on the Dart and unlikely to get one in time)

Let's hope it doesn't rain the whole weekend

Nice one Paul, I'm sure any MMA members there will be at your disposal ;)

I got a big and very secure yard at Bletchley, about 30 minutes from the track, if it helps any in getting both vehicles to the Pod.............could always leave one here in advance and collect it after the event, no sweat :thumbright:

cheers Adrian, thanks for the offer, I won't really know until a bit closer to the time as plenty of problems on the dragster front (why oh why did I think mechanical injection was a good idea?!?) but might well take you up on it if everything works out :thumbright:

I would like to go, but 14th is pushing it a bit :cry:

I had hoped to get some track time prior to the Nats, just have to wait n see. If I am down at Mr Websters that week, may pop in anyways. Only up the road, so be a shame not too
