Mcgoo Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I've just got back from Raf Marham where the Mitubishi Lancer Owners club have hired the runway for the day for 30- 130 runs and V-max. I think there was about 50 cars or so participating. I didn't hang around for all of it (not an evo lover) but the times ranged from about 8.6 secs to 15 secs. It was slightly damp. This got me thinking, what sort of time would a supra do? N/A, Stock TT, BPU, and single? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 we should do somethin like this, using a real 'private runway for once' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 According to the video I watched in the back of a Police car not that long ago, pretty bloody quickly!! Gave the unmarked 5 series Beemer they were in a good run anyway! Still, they were nice about it and asked for my autograph on a piece of paper, which was nice!!

colsoop Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I wonder if we could hire Raf Marham airfield as a club ? if we could get as many peeps interested for that like we can for santa pod we must have enough ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiefgroover Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Jamie, I timed your video @ approx 14 secs from 50ish to 178ish, so i think youd be well fit with the right tyres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Heckler (Si) who works at Marham mentioned the Evo day. Obviously we have the track day coming up in April anyway which should be fun, but an exclusive Supra day would be nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnd-mkiv Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 I done a top speed challenge day at raf woodbridge a couple of years ago in my 300zx might be another option, id def be interested in having a go if one gets organised Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mcgoo Posted February 25, 2007 Author Share Posted February 25, 2007 I wonder if we could hire Raf Marham airfield as a club ? if we could get as many peeps interested for that like we can for santa pod we must have enough ? I believe this would be possible to do as the MLOC and the Farrari OC do it a couple of times a year. If we show a good attendance to the upcoming track day then we would be in a better position to ask as these events are to raise money for charity. Heckler is in a better position than me to find out as its his boss that organises these events. Does anyone know if we (the club) have access to any timing equipment as I believe the MLOC and FOC bring thier own? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heckler Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 Yup. following on from sam, the airfield is available for hire, I have already spoken to Sam/Greg at turbofit about it So, we shall see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaymdee Posted February 25, 2007 Share Posted February 25, 2007 30-130 in a stock UK spec 6 speed is 22 seconds according to Top Gear magazine. That seems too slow. The stock Supra can hit 100 from rest in approx 12-13 seconds, allowing 2 seconds to 30, thats say 11 seconds 30 - 100, thats means it takes nearly 4 seconds per 10mph from 100 up to 130. Doesn't seem right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
