York Dragway Meet - Sunday 1st May

[beardymat]

A good chance to burn them falkens off a bit too

could always put some toyo`s on it and get some proper times in i suppose.

[E30BeemerLad]

Last S50 powered E30 I saw run there was when Buster had his. He despatched a brand new Merc E63AMG. See what you can do with the same donk Matt

What's this Detroit scrap then Steve?

[E30BeemerLad]

Just another point to raise at this stage.

At York a crash helmet is compulsory, so either bring your own if you have one, or you can hire them on the day. Also you must bring your driving licence if you want to be able to race

Nice one lads, who plans to run?

[Dezzy]

Lee my clutch has died today. I got home from Teeside park meet. Had some fun there, and on the way back. It was perfect. Then went to drop the brother in laws car off at his and there was no pedal! Gutted. More work for me

[e30topless]

big hairy bollox Dez, what do you think it is ?

[Dezzy]

I reckon its the master cylinder mate. Its the one out of the chromie. Only thing that isnt new!

Its cracking when working though Steve, you need a passenger ride mate

[E30BeemerLad]

Fingers crossed mate.

Were there some fast passenger rides today?

[Dezzy]

Magpie got a little taster mate.

225,40x16 toyo's sideways in the dry ftw

[RM2186]

I can confirm that your motor is one hell of a beastie Dezzy from the look on Micks face when you got back

More the merrier Mike, be it camping over for a lash up, just turning up to do a few passes on the Sunday, or just turning up to spectate.

Would like to get a good crew of E30's there, plus there's plenty more action to watch such as the american superstock stuff, crazy aircooled stuff, plenty of 9 second+ cars there, a jet car. Really friendly atmosphere. It's a bit of a dive, but the people & the racing make up for it.

Hmmm... Wonder If I can convince the Mrs... would be good to see how woefully slow my b20 is..

Go for it Neil

I'm going to have to bum out ladies. Its my eldest birthday party so no green card for me. If I can escape later on I might try and get over.

Provisional yes given.. Time to get a saving:)

[E30BeemerLad]

Nice one Neil

This is an event which will ultimately hinge on the weather forecast a few days beforehand, if it's forecast to be pishing down then it's not worth the trip.

Good show of heros so far, anyone coming who's run at the pod will see a quicker time at York

[DanThe]

Closer to sea level?

[E30BeemerLad]

Posssibly is, but the traction off the line is just far better

[billgatese30]

Posssibly is, but the traction off the line is just far better

and the pod is glued the entire length of the track, which is great if you need to put down 4000 bhp, but if you don't have that much, then it will just create more rolling resistance for the length of the track and will lower your top speed

York is only prepped at the start line, which means that we can get the power down and then enjoy less rolling resistance which is why 90% of people get better times at york than they do at the Pod or at Shakespeare County.

York FTW

I'm gonna be running a b20 with Proxies- that should be fine in the wet..

I can also bring Whisky and beer to pass any "downtime"

Is anyone camping over on the Saturday Eve?

Think my Bro and I will be..

[Dezzy]

I was going to through a tent up but prior plans mean I will probs pitch up at dinner time with the hangover from hell.

[E30BeemerLad]

For any general info have a look on the forum for the dragway

http://york-raceway.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=1

I'll see nearer the time whether I'll camp on Saturday or not. If there's a few others camping I may well join in the shenanigans.

Neil, in big Dave's absence, will you be knocking up some godfathers?

sure that could be arranged

[320Touring]

Is this still On?

Up here we're not allowed to see what's happening weather wise...

I take it the meet will still be on, even if raining?

[magpie]

i just bought a new tent and a camp bed so pitching up for the night is a strong possibility .

[DanThe]

There wont be any racing if its raining, and there are not many 'facilities' from what Lee has told me, I think the plan was if downpours are forecast is to rearrange to the following day

Looking at the forecast Sunday has a chance of a shower or two - http://www.accuweather.com/ukie/forecas ... E&metric=1

Monday will be a washout - http://www.accuweather.com/ukie/forecas ... E&metric=1

[Dezzy]

I won't be bothering if it's wet. There is only drag racing to be done at York

So I'd be best waiting til Sat before deffo heading down?

Gah! Still, there's a meet in Kenmore if this doesnt come off

[DanThe]

Id say so yeah, im about half the distance away you need to travel and will be watching the weather forecasts very closely, if rain is expected I wont be showing up

[E30BeemerLad]

In typical fashion, the weather looks like it's going to turn colder after Tuesday, so I'll be keeping a close eye on it. If the Monday looks better then we could re-schedule at the last minute, or just bump it to another date. The next one is the Sunday & Monday May bank holiday on 29th & 30th May, one after that is 10th July which clashes with the pod.

[RM2186]

According to Accuweather, sun all weekend next week. Must have been paid to do that!

[DanThe]

Theyve binned the rain off
