drift_bear Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Is there anyone else staying from Friday - Monday at billing aswell apart from us Scottish lot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letmeshowyou Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 It's a silly rule IMO. I'd wear a paper mache one if I could make it look real enough. At 110mph I'd sooner not be wearing one if I had an accident in a lidded car! ps. DB, I'm there Friday and Saturday night. Not sure I'm actually gonna know anyone who's staying the Friday! What time you guys getting there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adam1983 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Is the helmet rule for a full face one or can it be an open one? Only asking out of curiosity as I have already bought a full face one to be on the safe side. Isn't very clear on their website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yes, we do have insurance cover for DRAG RACE participants only. So if it gets rained off then they should get a refund. I need to double check the rules but I think if they do 1 run and then it is rained off they get nothing. So be very wary of the weather. Sky have kindly funded the insurance policy again btw. Without that policy I doubt I would risk this event. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 if its a wash out will the paid drag members be allowed to drift as a consolation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 nope. The drag members will get a refund on their drag entry ticket. They might be able to sign up to drift if there are spaces, but as there are around 60 drag competitors signed up, and only 35 drift spaces in total I dont see how it would be fair I'm afraid.

sideexitsupra Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 They're an anagram for a lid. It's an anagram of the new Apple helmet. The iLid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 BPU on stock twins and you wont go over terminal 110mph thus no helmet required. Depends what your running I disagree. As I said earlier, with really crappy tyres and awful launches I was hitting 107 last year. That was a 14.02 run. With 888s on this year I should hope to be over 110. TT6 BPU by the way.
