you ET has to be over 110mph or something, dont remember the exact number. Usually only the single conversions mannage that :p

 

Officially it's 100mph (or 110, I forget), but they only enforce it once you get to 120mph (so thats drag prepped BPU TT's, or single turbos)

You'll need to bring your own, or borrow one from another person here.

 

120mph terminal is very fast tho!

I haven't made my mind up yet if i'm going, it's going to be a busy year for me with Pro-drag street at Shakey and hopefuly running in the HKS series. Along with testing i havent got many free weekends ffor family things. I've also just started a new business and it needs me there most of the time at the moment also most of my spare cash :(

 

Last year was a disaster, my clutch let go the weekend before at Shakey so ended up selling my ticket and went down in merc just to watch for a couple of hours.

 

I am very tempted though :eyebrows:

The motorhome could be parked at Billing on friday night and drive over to pod in the car, then back to Billing for some beers :D

I don't know how long i can resist now signing up ;)

Sorry to disagree on this Darryl. I was pulled over after the first run last year for hitting 112 and told I needed a helmet if I wanted to run again. Was told that anything over 110 is strictly enforced.

 

If you have one and drive a TT, I'd recommend taking it
