Great day today, despite not having our first run until 11:45am (got there at 09:30am ish) were still drying the track.

MIG Attendees (that I know of) were: OllyHewitt, Add_Gee, 0ddball & MattJ

A new personal best for me (again) :D but not by much lmao

Did a couple of runs just without the backbox and boy it was stupidly loud lmao

Still got 11 runs in, and here are my times:

Looks like a funday...!

Is it still £10 to get in and £15 for 3 runs?? In which case ur day out cost £70 plus petrol and food! :eek: :eek:

Last week I had everything in normal order and got a 14.6, this week i had passenger seat out, backbox off, headlight & grill off - and still 14.6


It's just too loud - can't hear if wheelspinning, bogging down or anything lmao just sends ya crazy lmao

Terminal speed is your speed as you cross the line, its worked out by a speed trap on the finish line, i think its a beam of light across the track that your wheel breaks as you cross the line, similar to the start where you have to 'stage' your car before you can run.
