Default Rolling road in the North??

Trying to find a place in the North to power run the Cossie.

I have been trawling the net and have found a few places but don't know them

  1. CAR PLANET RACING Warrington
  2. DYNO DEMON
  3. Silverstoneautosport
Anyone used any of these??

DynoDemon seems ok for power runs but don't listen to their advice going by some local people.

I can highly recommend Matt @ The Racing Line in Halifax, he has a Dyno Dynamics R/R too

He's very highly thought of in the Evo scene... MLR etc

Depending on how many people are interested we could get something sorted.

Awesome GTI seem to be able to accommodate
