What's a 'twisty drag lane?' Is that to give the slower cars a better chance? :)

I did a sprint at Waterbeach earlier this year as part of the Toyota Sprint Series, it too was organised by Javelin.

It was a normal sprint as far as it was proper timing gear & as usual just you & the clock with no one else about.

Reading the details above it sounds maybe like a single lane drag course & a single lane handeling course (mini sprint course). i suppose they'll do a cumalative for your best time on each course time??

The airfileld was in reasonable condition, although there were a few people unhappy about the amount of loose stones & dirt/gravel on the airfiled.

Thats why i thought i'd put some pics up.

I didn't find it too bad as grip was down due to the wet anyway, that said i do have 4WD & it was a bit easier than some of the MR2s were finding it!!
