| I will be there with the nova hopefully, assuming it is finished for PV and then doesnt blow up at PV, failing that will just go and spectate I expect.
Should be a good night and its important we all support the first one so its seen as commercially viable! | |

I'm going to spectate and hopefully a few of the other welshies as well. Would be great to have another alternative to the Pod | |

| IT IS NOT A QUARTER MILE, ITS AN EIGTH
Just mentioning that in case others werent aware.
Better in lots of ways anyway IMHO, more runs in the same amount of time, less strain on your engine and still ideal for tweaking your launch etc. | |

| oh right 1/8 mile.... for me it has very limited appeal being a drag strip so I probably wont bother with this one, I'll be busy on my car and Glastonbury is a few weeks later too.
will deffo check it out when time is at less of a premium though. | |

| I saw the plug in TV & was quite interested.
Depending on commitments I could well turn up. I'm all for supporting stuff like this, as Chip says it needs the support to continue or grow (though not in them words)

Its at Smeatharpe near Taunton if anyone else is as dyslexic as me... | |
