dannyspeed Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 I've been looking also for a 1 mile event or similar but can't find any at all. Is Thunder road not taking place this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 We received an email at the start of the month from a chap called Mike Valentine who is running 1/4 mile runs and top speed runs at Dishforth Airfield in North Yorkshire on 1st October in aid of Help for Heroes. Entry fee will be £10 per car and the event will run 0900-2100. The £10 entry gets you 1 x 1/4 and 1 x top speed run there after the runs will be £2.50 each or 5 for £10, we definitely have no noise restrictions as we are and active airfield, one thing im trying to organise is a top speed race between possibly a high powered car and 1 of our lynx helicopters. Camping will be available also. Unfortunately none of the local Event Organisers have come forward to take a look at this , so if anybody is interested and wants the contact number/email just drop me a PM.

I don't think it gets much better than that. What an absolute bargain, and for a great cause. Win win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going wildly off topic here, but I did notice in the vids of your car that the springs rebound a lot on your runs. They are supposed to be soft but not rebound, so the car squats and stays squat. You probably knew that and I just remembered it now when you talked about 9sec 1/4s, but thought it worth a mention. Could also explain why the car misbehaves and makes it seem like the clutch has problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had hoped i would get away with using the teins JB, sadly not, I'm fitting my hks drag shocks now though so that sorts that issue out. The clutch 100% has issues, I'm hopeful its a hydraulic problem and not the clutch itself, will know more in a few days, if it is the clutch itself i will most likely just put the car away for winter.

Soopra Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 I would love to do a mile event, i know i would get laughed at though. i'll come too - we can get laughed at together BTW I'm serious - I would love to be able to drive my car flat out to see what it feels like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soopra Posted August 27, 2011 Share Posted August 27, 2011 It's not that long. Remember, it's a Supra, going fast is what it does best stolen for my signature - hope you don't mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 Temperature strips on the master cylinder, slave cylinder and pipework will show if the heat from the turbo is really getting into the fluid. They are a MUST HAVE for modded turbo cars, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If others are going to do it, I'd be up for that and therein lies the problem, it needs somebody to organise it all with Mike Valentine and tell those who are interested where and when to be. If nobody picks it up then nobody gets to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are events organisers for that region but when asked if anybody could pick it up (twice) there was no reply. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogmaw Posted August 28, 2011 Share Posted August 28, 2011 That's a shame. Are they busy with other events? If they're busy with them then fair enough, but if not then why have they got the job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
