Archived BNG 2012 Sherburn Aero Club Sat/Sun 8/9th Sept

[Aceman]

Hi Guys,

I know this is a little late notification but I have been asked by the TVR Club if we would like to attend this event this year as apparently the last one was a roaring success and turned out to be an excellent day or two out.

Basically you can get the chance on the Saturday to run your car down the 2 mile runway which Mintex use for testing their brake compounds, there is also plenty other things going on through the day including static displays, BBQ, trade stands etc. I have attached the flyer below which gives all the details but if we can get enough people together (10) then we could get a slot allocated on the track purely for us zedders to use otherwise we will be mixed in with other brands. The price for a half hour slot on the track is a bargain at £20 and all proceeds are going to two good charity causes.

Anybody interested I would need confirmed attendance to pull this one off so if you can please post up here I will start a list on this post.

Nobody interested then !

No need to pay to go down the runway it is free entry otherwise if not wanting to go for a blast and there should be some great cars there.

I think I could have done better with some slicker gear changes. Maybe next time #:-s

Glad you enjoyed Mark those videos don't tell the feeling of going that fast though. You were quite nervous to start with which I must admit I was a little apprehensive but you soon got over that and had plenty of runs, what was it 156mph you got. I only managed just over 140 before I notice the oil temp getting high so thought better not tempt fait and bailed out. The porsche doing 185 runs was a sight though and I think Stu enjoyed the runs.

See you next week at Lotherton.
