RS WST Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I would be very interested to try and get a Westfield team together for next years event if possible. Half a dozen or so of the fastest cars in the club would be nice. Trying to get in this years event if I can but need to do a decent qualifying time to be eligible. Probably a bit late in the day to get a team ready for this years event though. Anyone interested in getting a team together for next year?? Still worth a day out to see this years event if the weather holds out See the website: Ten Of The Best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westy Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Front, rear and four wheel drive cars will clash in a supreme test of power and handling that will eclipse even last years most spectacular cars. This time the cars will be even faster. what is a coned course and a 1/4 mile time then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS WST Posted May 10, 2004 Author Share Posted May 10, 2004 There are three diciplines in which cars compete. There will be a 1/4 mile sprint from a standing start along a straight runway using timing gear.(drag race) A top speed trail along the runway. (fastest car) Part on the concrete section at Elvington is sectioned off and a coned section is set up with timing gear (best handling car) Apparently the fastest car round the coned section last year was a Dodge Viper which was very quick. Should be possible to beat in a little westie though as they weigh alot. Some of the best times from last year for the 1/4 mile drag race were: 4wd 10.5secs, 2wd 11.5secs, fwd 12.5secs The event is also televised so you also have a chance of apearing on the TV. Entry is £80 per car for a full day of passes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darren.cudd Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 id be up for it although to be honest i dont think any of our cars would be much of a match for the busa rush as ive been in it and its stupid fast be good fun to put mine against yours down the stip though austin i think we both know which would win but wouldnt stop me trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Gratton Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 I know of an XTR2 Turbo that may be up to slapping the Dax Turbo round the face...but David Birch won't complete SVA until late June... Our NA XTR2 did a 12.2 - so the turbo one should be LOADs quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren.cudd Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 sounds good ian i think the dax has run a 10.8 at best but it would all come down to who sits on the lights spinning for the longest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Gratton Posted May 12, 2004 Share Posted May 12, 2004 We would also be interested in running our XTR4 if you westi boys put a team together. I think we'd stand a reasonable chance. If we get a Speed Series winner and their car for the handling an turbo nutter westi for the 1/4. I think top speed is going to be a problem for the westis - even our slippy XTR2 topped out at just over 150 at brunters - maybe our new XTR4 will pull a little harder once the big turbo goes on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
