What track did you run it at? Good times, I only managed 2 runs last time with a 14.8, so would like to have seen what it would do with it running properly.

Cheers mate it was at elvington airfield in york.
It was all a bit mad really ,it was snowing on the way down and i daftley expexted a high 13. Who was i kidding. No grip and big side wind, you could actualy feel the wind when you changed gear.I even left all the ice in and a boot full of shite

.
There were bikers going down leaning to one side, mentle to watch i tell ya.

I reckon the silvia's are a heavy motor and i don't fancy running any cheating gas, so we will see what it is like later in the year. just going to get the back end a bit higher and stiffer, some stickier rubber and empty all me junk out of it and see what its like.

I saw on an old thread that you liked the idea of putting your motor into and smaller lighter car.Good idea was thinking of doing it when the body on my dies of the devil that is rust( not that it has much at the moment),What motor were you thinking of?????

Was it just s12's or a whole host of cars because i wonder if people would be interested in just a s12 thrash

All sorts of cars but i am going to arrange a style of competition where anybody can enter with a few pals it should be quite interesting. You are in a time bracket once you have done your first run, then its the person that increases all areas such as 60ft time reaction time 1/4 time and terminal speed.
have allready bought trophies ans stuff. So give me shout if anybody is up for it.

Really good events . some days they have all three disciplines.
1/4 mile . Top speed run and the handling circuit.
The place it is at is the same place they have 'Ten of the best' each year.
