Drag Strip Visit

I am lucky enough to be on good terms with the local Drag Strip owner and be able to arrange use of the strip during the week when nobody else is about.

We took the new demo car down there on Monday to burn some rubber and take some publicity shots. A few are attached.

What a day. 24C and pure blue sky.

The car ran great and we did some great burn outs which we are going to put on You Tube.

There will be a Video Links page on our website so that you can find the videos easily.

Next time we go we are going to run Megaphones. Can't wait.

I think we will be making an effort to get to the strip on a more regular basis from now on.

As the Drag racers say ' See ya at the strip'

Re: Drag Strip Visit

Looking forward to seeing how you do! Lots of folks dismiss drag racing, especially when compared to road racing, as juvenile and "easy". It is anything but. Different from road racing and a hell of a lot of fun. And probably the only road competition venues where us Yanks seem to have a decided inherent advantage.

Rick

The lights were not on.

It was just a day out for pics and a bit of fun.

Thanks

Andy
