seen this very local to me,i know i would never crack near 200mph but i know cars capable of 185mph

although not in this space inc braking but thinking of maybe entering for both the crack(mixing an old ford ) with the super cars,and both my grand parents died from cancer in the hospice that the money goes to

im going to try get andy g in on it as he could probably show up the main supercars


question is ,rod what do you think my cars capeable of in this distance?

Would be nice to see what the old girl would do Col

Steve

 

Good to see something like this going on in Scotland , and even better that the cash is going to charity.
Good luck Col

 

do it for the crack mate

 

Looks good, get it sorted

 

looks like a laugh, 2km is just over 1.2 miles so you should hit a good speed before jumpin on the stop peddle !!

 

2k is 1.25miles.

My old 500bhp engine did 179.6mph in that distance in a mag shoot a few years back. That suggests 600 would see 187 if gearing is near optimum.

I dont know your Power but the figures above should give you a good starting point.
Its great fun so go for it. Andrew should be around 205 with 800bhp.

 

weather allowance im doing it

 

thanks rod,appreciate that

 

its just a shame its in sep and the time its at,could end up dark and wet...............

fuck it i paid more to go to brunters,im in

 

Nice one Col, be good to see what it does

 

Looking on pistonheads and it may be 2km inc braking distance ,so what sort of distance would be used for the run standing mile??

 

Damm its so far away, would of loved to do that!!

 

one good thing over brunters it will be proper tarmac,not concrete sections

 

c`mon dave i done brunters in an old transit van......lol

there is one on at birmingham aswell i believe,and as usual a hell of alot cheaper

Looks like you should see over 170 Col going by rods poast above

 

FFS Dave you went to the ring and got back ok...

 

I wonder if this is going to be run like a v-max sort of event and be for road cars only, if not there should be a couple of realy quick Scottish cars able to run like Keith Cowie,Andy Forrest and Andy G as well as the supercar boys.

 

If that includes braking you will be a tad shy of the speeds i quoted.

 

Ive got a works do the same day at Perth horse races with a marquee and free bar,so going to wait and see what cars have entered next week.

 

Have you got your name down for this yet Col ?
