As i'm planning on going there tomorrow to run my xr2tt,

i was wondering how far in time/miles from the M25??

Also what time the gates open tomorrow, and what time signing on for the track starts?




i've got alot todo today to get it ready. but gonna give it a go.


Cheers

 

Just come back from there and it was pretty quiet, although there was some mental cars on the strip (sub 9.5 sec Scooby) .

Just go on Michelinmap / AA route finder and just type in your address and Stratford on Avon and it'll give you a rough distance.

Check the weather forecast before you go, as it started raining when we were there and they closed the strip even before it really got going. Long way to go if you can't do nowt!

Gates open at 9 I think, but deffo open at 10.

 

Whats going on at avon raceway then? i live literally 5mins from there and havent heard nowt about events going on this weekend

And we havent had much rain really, just abit to damp the road for half hour then it was bone dry agian

 

According to the listing there is nothing on tommorow.

Its Featuring Ford day RWYB today:

.

 

Its a RWYB test and tune day.


Have a look again at the website, @ Sunday 1st October .

 

its round 5 of the Old Skool Ford Drag Competition today so plenty of old fords down there today

 

Yeah i went to the gate to ask the details on my way past and the women said its on tomorrow and its 12 quid on the gate

Saw about 3 scoobs and some mint evo's and saph cossies on the way home, obviously going to the raceway

 

Had a senior moment and thought there were 31 days in Sept.
Made you look though didn't it?.

.

 

Did you have another "senior moment" and miss my post that said IT IS defo on tomorrow

 

Just got back.

@ 5.20 i left my house, and after 3 hours and 215miles We were at avon.

But it Rained, and rained, So Shakespear called it off before any one had run.

And just got home and un packed, So all in all i spent £85 on fuel, food etc ect, for a waste of a day.

But got speaking to a Bloke called Carl, who had a mint F reg XR2 in red, which he's owned from new, it was running 2.0 PE cvh on Bike carbs, he said it was rolling roaded @ 182bhp, but he's best time it run yesterday was a 15.9 @ 89mph on Budget tyres, but to me 89mph shows 140-150 bhp.
Will get some pic's up, But also he said he won a PF mag xr2 shoot out in 1997, running same engine but on a 34 dmtr carb, with a 15.3 1/4.

Also looked around, and spoke to a bloke with a 8.9 second road legal mk2 escort drag car running between 1200 - 1400 bhp yank style engine and nos. (it run 8.9 on old spec engine which was 1100bhp).

 

It was me and a few of the lads heading up there

shame about the rain

 

Soooo glad we never went, i would have been a bit pissed off getting there and not running.

 

Went Avon yesterday.

and apart from the extra 30mins travel and miles, i prefere Avon to the pod.

The strip and timing gear are the same for grip and times.

But the que's are less, and faster moving,

And best of all, from the que i could see all the cars running, where is at the pod you cant.

i run 13.6 @ 100mph, which is my PB to date in the xr2tt.
