terribleturner Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 OK, as some of you may be aware i found a lovely disused RAF base. Well i spoke with the owner and she is happy for us to hire it out one Sunday. So im thinking either July or Aug at the moment and i need to check it out. But it'll definatly be a day for 1/4 mile drags and possible space for a mini handling circuit or drift circuit. Will depend on what space we get and who wants what. need to talk to a man about hireing timing equip, but this may work out rather expensive so may have to come up with another way of timing the day. Initally im gonna open it up just to Supras, but again i'll have to see how people feel and if it's neccassary to bring costs down. Im seeing this as a very minature TOTB with maybe stalls like JAE. So keep your eyes peels and any suggestions would be greatfully recieved. Some pictures of the strip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 that would be good just having a start and finish line with 5 supras all lined up with a lane space inbetween each car. you could do it like a mini knock out like the japanese skyline owners have where they race down a section of road. could be a good for a supra meet. pity they always down south.

Muffleman Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 pity they always down south. Completely the opposite of what I was thinking Count me in mate, providing I even have a Supra by then !
