Brighton Speed Trials
Just thought I'd let you know I have had my entry to Brighton Speed Trials accepted in the Z/28.
Just in case anyone is local to Brighton and fancies heading along for a watch.. I've never been before but from all accounts it's a great event and a great day out! Very excited and looking forward to my first competitive Quarter Mile!  The 2017 event takes place on Saturday 2nd September. I also plan to enter a few other sprint events this year, I'll be sure to let you know where and when once I've decided. Until then keep an eye on my thread in the Z/28 section, or you can follow my build on Instagram. https://www.instagram.com/patroclueus/ cheers |

Brighton Speed Trials 2017
14.07s with a 3.75s 64ft time = rubbish. You only got one practice and one timed run so not enough to get your eye in really. There's also no opportunity for tyre warming. The car can run sub 12 seconds I think. The event itself is brilliant, I had a great time, such a varied paddock, cars and motorcycles from all eras competing together. Fastest bike ran a 9.0something @ 170mph! Here's some images of the other machinery.      The highlights for me were the 27 litre Rolls Royce Merlin engined car and the 24 litre Napier Bentley!  They can destroy their rear tyres in a single 1/4mile pass.    Highly recommend going next year if you can! |
