 A Reminder that over the next few Months, lots of oppotunities to try the 1/4 on the strip. Visit www.rwyb.com    translated Run What Ya Brung!!

Costs £10 per Adult-£15 for Driver Sign on which should give you 3-5 + Runs Thru the timers.maybe get a group outing together??.

Have already done this and it was good fun. Took the old six gentle down the quarter and got 16.6 seconds and a reaction time of 0.66 seconds. You have to be a bit carefull though as they paint glue on the track and so it's hard to wheel spin which therefore puts more strain on the car. I would however recomend having a go. Great fun

There were some pretty taste machines there on the day including a genuine Lancia Stratos and an Old Vauxhall victor dit the standing quarter in 8.5 seconds hitting 165mph after 400 metres. I won't mention the mini with twin engines hat shot a 10.9. Made my car look very slow and tbh was one of the slowest cars on the day. As i said before though great fun.
