Mrs Max 1 is going to have a run? Excellent
I'll ask this question for anyone that reads that list of cars and thinks "uh-oh". Will most of the cars there be that quick or will there be some normal cars as well? I'll forward the dates to a couple of mates who run quick VW's and see if they are interested Fil.
If anyone fancies a cracking day out, seeing some genuinely top draw cars and characters, get your arse down to Santa Pod for this. Trev and I have seen some very impressive motorsport over the years, but very little could hold a candle to the day that we spent over there recently.
Best of luck buddy. Have you sorted anyone to do the video footage yet? It may be worth you trying to get someone along to get some HD footage. ( I have some contacts if necessary)

It's basically a RWYB day but with more than normal track time due to the limit on cars. It costs a bit more at

Sounds good, if I don't have any urgent work I may well pop along,
the rwyb last Saturday was really really quiet for a show weekend, some nice cars there though

Martin and Matt have put the pro street sierra on the back burner and have bought the Top Secret Skyline to run on the 13th
Some of you guys might know of this car as it has been well documented
It has run 9.6 and has approx 1200bhp there is a video of it on you tube doing 205mph on the street

Obviously they are going to have to get used to it first so will be a good test day for them next friday

That should be a great day out.
The Top Secret car was always been a bit of a legend. I think Mr Webster had it first in the UK, then Mick Begley so if it's living on with these guys, that's great news
Do you know if it's ever been dyno'ed Fil? I can't remember what terminal speeds it's done in the UK...
Best of luck to Sarah, especially, but to all of you that are running.
Keep us posted Fil
