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 -------------  Sunday 10th July Brooklands Sharkfest and Big Coupe Day. http://635csi.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ - Coupe Events

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. ------------- Sunday 10th July Brooklands Sharkfest and Big Coupe Day. http://635csi.mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/ - Coupe Events
