MONKEYmark Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 went to elvington today with rich.was an ok day apart from rain on and off.quite a few good cars.met Simon P who drove from south london to elvington to compete. he did a great time of 12.3 in damp conditions on drag radials with no burnouts.he just missed out on qualifying for final shoot out round.he did his 12.3 after the qualifying time. there was a few supras there.quite a lot of skylines and loads of honda civics.also a hyabus turbo drag bike and a caterum type kit car with holeshot megabusa turbo engine. great time on stock turbos in wet for simon.beating a few single turbo supras times.sounds like his car has a bit of power and he knows how to drive it.you should get your name down for totb list. great day apart from weather. met a mate with a single turbo cossie he was saying it has about 450hp and 1000cc injectors.engine was very clean and blingy. good day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bromy Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Nice one, was debating whether or not to go to this, went on a MR2 day out instead thought it would be safer.. after the last upgrade on my car the clutch is now slipping quite badly and I would have been tempted to run, the last time I ran at elvington the car had to be towed home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Its an airfield, you kinda expect noise occasionally I know the village, I drove through it on the way up to TOTB. Still a joke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 What time did all the Supras turn up? I left just after 1pm as there was only Simon and one other there. I think the prices are a bit steep too. £10 just to get in plus £45 entrance fee and £5 day membership!! Have a laugh..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 They enforced the db limit when we were there on the last trackday, but never seen it happen on the drag days. Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 did kevs pass ok? the nova was 97.9 and i think thats really quiet compared to even my supra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 We weren't there yesterday but never had anyone say anything previously. On the last trackday, without the bung, we got 106.5 Db whilst trying to be quiet Gaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul gtir Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 yes elvighton is set at 105db which is crap as most cars are higher than that so for that reson they are on about using a diffrent airfeild for totob which is yet to be confirmed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 yes elvighton is set at 105db which is crap as most cars are higher than that so for that reson they are on about using a diffrent airfeild for totob which is yet to be confirmed Chris Mann has asked me to point out that TOTB is not moving from Elvington, a sound limit is going to be in place for TOTB, should be more than 105db but assume it will be 105db and you wont go far wrong. Most cars should pass that level without too much trouble...it is rather loud. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
