Also i'm going to a 1/4 mile run on sunday with a few mates - ALL welcome to tag along, we dont bite.
Just post/pm me if you want to meet up and convoy over with us - prob be leaving about 8.30am(ish) on sunday, from Washington.

We also get stands at most of the big shows through the year so give me a shout if you wanna join us

Heres some info:

Straightliners are back in Cumbria and all car and bike enthusiasts have a chance to take part in a Quarter Mile Drag Racing Day on our doorstep, spectators are welcome.

Sunday 3rd and Monday 4th May
Starting 10.30am until 5pm both days at:
kirkbride Airfield
Wigton
Cumbria
CA7 5LF

This is a full drag strip with all the usual equipment and time slips which will be given out after each run so you know your best time of the day.

Anyone is welcome to take part whether your vehicle is road legal or otherwise.

For those wanting to take part it's £35 for unlimited runs (this includes insurance) all you need is your driving license and a crash helmet.

£5 entry for spectators.

No need to book in advance just turn up on the day, the sooner you get there the more runs you get in.
Catering vans will be there all day.

If this event goes down well they will be back, let's make sure it does!

Women are like parking spaces. All the best ones are taken, and sometimes if no ones looking you have to stick it in a disabled one.

What sort of times are you hoping for?

I'd imagine you'd be in the 15's?

i havent a clue, i'd hope i was in 15's though... considering my mates ford escort with a 2.0 mondeo engine runs 15.9

wouldnt like to get beat by him, my other friend is going in my old BMW 328i, it is a very naughty vehicle though - i think i'll have a good battle with it, but he'll have the edge, but we'll see on the day.

I shall post results up ;)

On the 40-100mph table , compiled by Kingsley of Calibra 3.0 V6 fame, the Calibra 3.0V6* done it in 13.6s a few tenths slower than the standard Calibra Turbos' that averaged around 13.2s.

The standard Calibra Turbo typically gets into high 14s on the quarter so I think low-mid 15s for yourself; it will be interesting to find out how you go. If you have access to a private road  ;) knock out a few timed 40-100mph runs ( very much my favourite tuning tool, lol )
