I’ll remember it as it was in the days of @56oval at the helm and pass. £100 entry and they don’t even time it 🤷‍♂️

I was interested in going on the Aprilia until at the 11th hour they said there would be no timing equipment. Sort of defeats the point of a drag day which they originally advertised before calling it a ‘street race’.
And I wouldn’t be parting with an extra £100 plus pounds for my own Draggy or similar GPS data/time logger on top of a £100 entry fee.
I totally agree local sport needs sponsored or it will die, but a drag day with no timing or even Christmas tree lights was a bit hard to swallow at that price.

None of that really matters to myself and at end of day it's abit of craic and bragging rights,value for money yes unlimited runs and probably spend more on fuel not unless running a diesel 😋

Didnt know whether to mention Ben or not but yes definitely got the brains knows his stuff. Told me to take 330d to fella in kilkeel for remap.

The fella in Kilkeel has been the only lad who has been able to map a friend’s Diesel Cordoba.

I like the idea if any number of runs you want but I’d also like to see what times my car is putting down. No doubt it will be some crack all the same.

£100 for 6 hours of unlimited runs up a drag strip. That’s a billy bargain even without the timing kit. Wish I had a car worth taking 🤣

@BLS I miss it was such a good car when I owned it pulled like a train and put a smile on my face. The down side was the Coilovers where on there way out when I sold it but I think it went to a few other`s before they were changed. I would own an other no bother they are really nice to drive.

Still pulls well only 240 bhp but fun 240 lol I actually seen it on here someone had posted it up when it was for sale and was only out the road from me,soon has i took it a drive i knew i was buying it. The fella had it before me put full black interior in it. Has sailed through 2 Mots and only thing I've replaced was front discs n pads and had to get down pipe from turbo welded around seam and that's been it bar service n new plugs.
