i think its easter sunday this years, so whos going? im not sure if i can be bothered yet lol.

oh and on the stuff i got through the post it says that the right hand lane has your 0-60 times on. i dont know if this is new or not but sounds good,

no longer a series, but still 1.3 turbo.

They've had a 0-60 timer on the right hand lane for quite some time. I managed 6.4 secs last year which wasn't bad I didn't think for full road weight and lots of wheel spin!

Sadly I won't be able to participate this year as the car is in too many pieces at the moment. Its a good fun event though, and the Mini's need to pull it back again as we lost last year.

I think you can camp yes, its quite a good event, you run three qualifiers, then they pair you against a beetle that is within 1/2 sec of your best qualifying time, then its head to head and you have to beat the beetle. And after that RWYB.

Yeah you can camp - nice friendly atmosphere at York as well (aside from the rivalry between the mini and beetle owners lol) - probably the most friendly of the drag strips I've been to in this country although Shakespeare comes a close second.

If all is well with the engine this week end, I will be there, not sure whether im trailering it there or driving it, but I think I will be camping over as its a 3 hour journey for me either way I get there.
