Handing event Sunday 18th April

[S2Phil]

There is a Straightliners Motorcycle drag race event at Elvington this Sunday the 18th April.
Along side the bike event there will also be a car handling circuit set up, they use the same circuit for the Ten of The Best (TOTB) competition. They are taking entries on the day so it could be a good oppotunity to blow a few cobwebs out.
Usualy get a fair few Scoobys there so would be good to see a few S / RS show them some Audi power.
There are noise limits though so be warned I think they are 103dB but for full on race cars is 106dB.
Im up there racing a bike on Sunday but thought some of you may be interested in the car side.
So you could watch the cars on the handling circuit and the bikes straightlning.
Some of the bikes are running down to the low 8's at over 180mph.
Just though this maybe of some interest to some of the members.

Nutter!

Now thats a rocket, it's not a jack frost/holeshot bike is it? Is it about 250bhp+ I bet that thing is scary.

[S2Phil]

Its a bike I built with in conjunction with Big CC Racing as a development bike about 6 years ago. It makes 260 BHP at 6psi at the rear wheel. It will run 30psi no problem but unless your somewhere like Santa Pod you just can't get traction.
20psi through a progressive boost controler is about the norm for somewhere like Elvington.
