Great stuff you'll have to post the results up when you have them.

Max1 yesterday did just over 171 mph on the V max and a 12.5 sec 1/4 mile @ 123 mph in his heavy 300 zx.

I am waiting for Stu`s write up. I see he is online so I reckon an essay is about to appear.

I have just got back and have to say its the best trackday I have ever been to !!!

The club representation was good, plenty of members thrashing their motors on the tracks (sadly not me again!!!).

The RAF are to be praised for the event, everything was superb !!!

Both the 1/4 and top speed run were smashed by the awesome 800 bhp R32.

Top speed was over 189 mph and 1/4 best was 11.2

Thanks go to Paul (Goodap) and Stu for taking me out as a passenger on there runs.

Highlights included watching the Black Supra just behave naughtily, blasting through the cones when out with Stu because of the brakes not working and the incredible vibration and sound of Dan (Madenglishmans) car screaming passed !!!

All in all a fantastic day, thanks to Stu for organising such an event,

Am feeling knackered though !!

Final Thought.....

Its great to hear that 4 people posing as Big Power members were turned away :-D

we WILL get you out on track Gareth

.... it isnt hard on you or your car unless you want it to be.... with each event, the pressure builds

My highest revs today were 5981 on one of the laps and I had great fun... with minimal tyre wear or stress either. Looking at the logs, all was fine and dandy in subaru heaven with intake temperatures soaring to 2 degrees above ambient at there highest point on track and mostly exactly at ambient

- i love my ram air mod 8)

Lol mate, its not that, need to get my suspension sorted first as the front end is all over the show !! Plus intakes are a tad high for my liking so will be trying my water injection with methanol after a great article by Scott (sdminus).

After being out with Stu and seeing what a well balanced car feels like it put my car to shame !! So suspension will be on the list.

Sounds like a quality day and I`m glad my fellow work collegues looked after you chaps.
