FASTEST 4wd in Europe CONFIRMED for Bishops Court, 13th Sept

[SWRC Wayne]

Here's somethin a bit different for yiz:

In May we had 3 10 sec runs, the fastest of which was set by Derek Donohoe with his A.I. Autosport tuned Evo 5 running a 10.696s.

The NEW record is now in the hands of Robbie Thornton of TDP with 10.103s closely run by John Curistan from East Coast Customs with a best of 10.186s

I'm sure we will see those times tumble in the coming months and possibly the record even change hands a few more times.

This video demonstrates what we can expect to see when Mick Begley rolls into Bishops Court on 13th SEPT. The car in the right lane is a true 10 sec car. Check this out:

[SWRC Wayne]

We are in the process of fixing the Gear Box after the Gaijin's last run out at Santa pod.

We were on a world record run, up on Heat Treatments time at the eighth of a mile, I changed to fourth gear and bang it shredded fourth gear.
The car coasted from half track to do an impressive 8.7 @ 119mph

So... Sun 13th Sept, Bishops Court

DRAG BURNOUT COMPETITION
This will be the Half-Time entertainment

Longest burnout wins. Burnout will have to be smoke-inducing, not just spinning the wheels a bit.
Car must be rolling at all times (to protect track surface)
We will then have a BURN-OFF with the top 2 drivers side by side down the strip
Open to all cars entered in the Drag racing on the day.

Trophy & CASH to the winner!

There's a S14A with a rumoured 600 Bhp. Rumour is also the driver can skid a bit. He'd be a contender in this for sure!

BURNOUT COMPETITION - Developments

Right, we were down at the track today and we've been giving this some thought because it could be really good craic if done right. These type of competitions are really big in America, Australia & New Zealand. All countries where Drag racing is also very big.

The idea is to provide maximum entertainment for the crowd. Here it is:

The far end of the spectator's area (behind the grass bank) is approx 1/8th mile from the start line.

The winning driver will be the one that can complete the LONGEST burnout in the SLOWEST time. IE if 2 drivers were to manage 100m burnouts, the one who takes the longest time will be the winner. However it is the distance covered that is the over-riding factor, except for in the following instance:

If several drivers manage to complete the entire course the winner will be the one who does so in the SLOWEST time.

If a tyre pops before the end of the course then the driver's distance and time will be measured to that point. Cars must stop IMMEDIATELY if / when a tyre pops. (Heavy penalties for offenders of this rule)

Drivers may deviate from the straight line. IE may go from left to right but MUST NOT turn back in the direction they came. This also means that no-one will be allowed to do hoops on the drag strip.
There are OTHER places for that sort of thing.

As said before, this could be mighty good craic.
Entry to this section is FREE to anyone that is entered in the Drag racing, but places will be limited on this first outing as a trial run.

Remember, FREE ENTRY there will be a CASH PRIZE & TROPHY to the winner, so yiz can replace the rubber that you burn off!
