JamieP Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Anyone know of any going on this year? I really want to have a pop at getting a decent time again. Last fighting torque was canceled and I can't find any info on another thunder road. Club event would be cool. Jamie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Suprised you want to do these again after everyones troubles at TR last year mate.... doesn't it put too much stress on the car flat out for that long? I always fancied it til i read your "sideways at 150" bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkpower Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 This sounds like it could be a great club event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Nah mate, I have a lot of confidence in this setup. Thinking about it its probably no more stress on the car than the 20-23 sec pulls TDi dyno does to the car eh?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirk Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 To be honest id be more concerned about the condition of the mile straight. After seeing video's of previous thunder roads id be hesitant to run on such a rough and bumpy surface. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Track is fine, it's more about the time of year, last year it was to late in the year IMO, the track had a green tint to it and was very slippy. There is also Cottesmore that could be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero-M Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Don't know if they have got anywhere yet with bentwaters, as far as I know they needed £50k+ before they did any more top speed events. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnny g Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 Depends on location for me - and time. Weekends are great, but needs to be a reasonable distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 (edited) I would love to do a mile event, i know i would get laughed at though.

JamieP Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 What's happening with Vmax? Its still going on, few spaces left for Vmax hammer an all it seems, top speed dont interest me so much tbh, rather a standing mile event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 17, 2011 Author Share Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah would be nice i guess, Standing mile is more of a benchmark i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
