JamieP Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Just reading about this over on suprforum.com, Standing start 1 mile race that was on in America yesterday, bit like the pistonheads Vmax i suppose, would be nice to have a supra event in this country like it:) More info here, all sorts of cars racing. http://www.supraforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=562634 Couple of videos of a supra doing 215mph. Ford GT40 Twin turbo won the event i think with 220mph standing mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 If this happens before my car is ready I'll be seriously unimpressed Wont be till after xmas dude the idea is to shake down my car for next year, will be looking to pull way over 200mph at somewhere like bruntingthorpe, we are also going to rent the pod and have about 30 supras and 30 TVR's aqgain so we can set mine and another supra up that should run 8's, we can take passengers at Bruntingthorpe I believe but not the Pod.

MRX Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The drag event we had at Bovingdon 14th August 05 was cool, not sure how long that track was though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 The drag event we had at Bovingdon 14th August 05 was cool, not sure how long that track was though. I need to have a fully prepped track to run my car in anger dude so it has to be the Pod or Avon Park, an unglued track would be too dangerous without the traction control on and we dont use that in drag racing;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
