[e30topless]

sunday is looking dry? bring on the council activities

dez sort the MC ya big fairy, I want to see some 3.0 diffin action

[billgatese30]

Well despite what I said earlier in the thread, I don't think our kid will have Kim's bug out this weekend, but we will all still be there with beer(s) in hand, and I'll pack the camera, and if it isn't too windy/dusty I promise to get some shots of you miserable lot on the dragstrip.

We'll be there from Saturday night so I guess I'll see who ever turns up.

[E30BeemerLad]

OK folks, so it looks like it's going to be windy again and there is a threat of occasional showers, but I'm still going to go.

I think I am going to camp tonight too and will leave off from here about 5pm today.

Most of you have my mobile number already, but if you don't it is 07730 556070

Think I'm going to put a spare set of 15" BBS i have on the rears as they have the 60 profile balloons on, so I'm going to give them some savage burnout action

Any other info about how to get there etc can be found on here http://york-raceway.com/

[E30BeemerLad]

Oh and remember if you are going there to race BRING YOUR DRIVING LICENCE and a crash helmet if you have one.

I think it may be a bit of a tail wind this time

[RM2186]

Hope you all have a great day chaps, it's Gill's sons wedding tomoz, so apparently we have to go. Beats me

[E30BeemerLad]

Haha Mike, once you've had a few sherberts you'll be rite

I just swapped on some 15" BBS with the 60 profile balloons (2 surviving specimens from the touring), absolutely no grip at all, so have just put the MIMS back on.

Loading the car now so will be heading off in a bit. I'll see whoever is turning up tomorrow I guess. My boss rang me this morning, think he's going to take the Bentley tomorrow for a few runs and hopefully I can get him sold on the Yank stuff a little more so he stops dragging his feet.

[magpie]

just hot brushed the turd and i'm hooking up with craig @ durham services for the drive down.

see you orrible lot tomorrow

hey Lee

[DanThe]

I wont be there now, was planning on fitting new drop links and pads this morning (really needs to be done before I go anywhere) but it lashed it down here, been out all day too and ive got to work tomorrow morning so its just going to be a mess, plus if it rains I will be p155ed off about the drive and not being able to get power down..

MAN UP!!!

You're just scared Lee will trounce you with his 60 profile action

[DanThe]

He was too close for comfort innit

If the forecast was dry I would be setting my alarm for 4 o clock

[Dezzy]

I have a charity bikeride tomorrow. I had managed to block it out. Just been reminded about. Great!

I'll be dying after that

[e30topless]

weather reports show rain most of the morning FFS

will take a look in the am, I really don't want to miss this !

[magpie]

^ ooh,a nice casual drive down sideways it is then

[scott180gtb]

It's 4 in the morning and I'm working just outside York. Been pissing it down for about an hour. I don't think there will be much action today.

[magpie]

well it's dry up here lol

think i'll chance it .

[Dezzy]

Been p1ssing down here since I got up with our Eva about 8ish.

[E30BeemerLad]

It was a bit grim earlier and I had a shite night sleep in the tent. Was still on the cans at 2.00am lol.

Got some runs in early around 10.00am and the track was damp so getting it off the line a bit of a mission and shifting into 2nd had it lighting the rears.

Then it rained/ drizzled on & off and they wouldn't let the RWD stuff run for a bit, then about 3pm lovely sunshine and it's still beaming now. Had a dead straight tail wind today aswell, so my terminal speeds were slightly up at 98mph.

Sadly a 13 second quarter still has still not been achieved for me but Craig the jammy git pulled a 13.92 just before I left Well done mate, the lump in that touring is healthy.

I didn't take any pics until the very end and I'll get them up later.

Good banter with Magpie as ever and was good to meet Craig (who also forgot his licence!!!) but charmed his way around

[magpie]

Craig the charmer,the ladies in the office loved him Bless

are you putting pics up here or in the meets pics/vids section Lee ?

i took a couple so did Craig

[E30BeemerLad]

just sling them in here mate

[craigieeb]

Awesome day lads, nice1
And yes I did forget my licence but the the geordie charm shone thru and they let me on my way,
totally glad they did,
first run 14.2 which i thought was ok, knew i could do better
but kept running 14.2 ...14.3's
and a 16.7 (but thats another story)
...so
4 cans of red bull and 2 cups of coffee and 3 little toblerone's later,
out pop's a 13.92 which I am told is a very respectable time, for a tourer

Still know I can do better than that, just need to sort the launch out and stop spinning so much,
I'v got some pics and some vid footage, but i'm feked, think i'm on a come down off all that caffeine, i'll get them up as soon as

[magpie]

i hear that

like i said just a couple to get the ball rolling .

some average speed camera action in the rain on the A1 ,i hate these things!





some large Muscle lazing about.





OH YES!


GO CraigeeB



some m52 smackdown ..........



Bring the NOISE



she's sure fine l@@kin. one of my favorites this one



a day of two half's with rain and sunshine. i managed 10 runs overall and glad i went if only to escape the decorating .

a great day out again

[Dezzy]

Craig 13.92 FTMFW

M52 in a touring thats really good going. Well done.

Your wheels a well whack though dude

[craigieeb]

Nice1 Mate, cheers

I knew someone would have a pop about those things lol
I did buy some better ones, 16" Azev's, but they dont fit over the Brembo 4 pots
So I am on the hunt for better ones

[Dezzy]

Nice1 Mate, cheers

I understand mate. I dont like the wheels but the times are fooking bang on!

Lee WTF. You have no excuse for not getting a 13 now!

Well done guys. Sounds like a good day

[E30BeemerLad]

I know Dez, I'm well fed up, 14.1's all day, but even as bad as a 14.5 on one occasion

Only excuse I can give is the vanos seals, but probably not good enough excuse. The American dream is still alive though and the force is strong with the gaffer. We agreed today that a 12 sec car will just become boring and I think I have a car in mind, depending on whether it is for sale.

Here's my pics I took at the end after I'd stopped running

[Dezzy]

Totally agree mate. If your going for Yank Tank strip toy its got to be -11 sec's.


I reckon the extra weight is helping the touring off the line. Think M30 torque

You need to get a 13 out of your chromie before you set foot in a Yank. Otherwise it will never happen

[craigieeb]

Just a few for now, i'll get the vids sent to me and i'll stick them up














Wouldn't like to meet that thing on the road.




check out the arse on this beyatch

[E30BeemerLad]

That Audi is for sale, £40K, It is on the street and can do 7's

[MurphyE30]

,
out pop's a 13.92 which I am told is a very respectable time, for a tourer

Well done mate

looks like you boys had a good'n

[DanThe]

Nice time Craig

Im going to load the boot up next time im on the strip

[craigieeb]

Cheers Lads, Thinking back on it now, i'm quite impressed with it,

I knew stripping the sh1t out of it would of helped


wonder what sort of time's i'll be getting with the gas hooked up next time...

[DanThe]

3rd gear nos shot ftw

[craigieeb]

2nd 3rd and 4th Danski

[E30BeemerLad]

That's a 12 sec car with the gas on mate

Any more pics/ vids etc

[E30BeemerLad]

Just had a run out to Sainsbury's and saw a fair few of the North East crew heading back with cars on the trailers, been raining all day here, so obviously been rained off today. So we defo picked the right day to go lads
