Terminal Velocity 2005 : Website Up & Tickets On Sale

And it only has a 1.8 litre engine in it! But it ran the 1/4 Mile faster than a RUF Yellowbird Porsche. And was only just pipped into second place by the same car for top speed prize.. By my definition of the word, anything that can go toe to toe with the Yellow machine is a Supercar.. Sorry if you don't agree.

I will treat each application on it's merits, and it could be that my definition of supercar is different to everyone elses.. but we already have 2 GT2's committed and an F40 Ferrari. Along with a Lotus Esprit Twin Turbo and several M3's and M5's (Some modified some not!) Plus some of the fastest cars in the Japanese Tuning Scene ...

What I can tell you is that this year we will have 75 cars all turning out performances to make us M5 owners sit up and gulp down our coffee!!

But also i'm trying to attract the right sort of people. People who are responsible., into Motorsport and having a craic! Not stupid kids who don't know how to drive or behave and think that led's for washer jets are a "modification". (no offence by kids i mean mentally not agewise)

It's entirely my event and it could be that i will upset some people by being fussy over which cars i admit. But that can't be helped i'm sorry to say.

Hope that clears it up a bit for you !

Cheers
Dave

Woodbridge Airfield Site Report!

Over the past few weeks a few people have asked me what the surface of the runway at Woodbridge is like. This question threw me a bit as last year we were so busy I just didn't get a chance to drive down the strip, which was a bit of a disappointment(especially as Spike had offered me a go in RoadShark!- Thanks Spike

.)

Anyway as part of my training as an IOPD Marshall and Clerk of the Course. I spent this morning at Woodbridge and during a break in proceedings of the bike sprint day, I took the Beemer down the Runway at a pretty sedate pace and was amazed at how smoothe the surface is ! After a quick circuit back to the start down a not so smooth service road(50mph limit here so no probs) I tried a tad more rapid journey and found it to be equally comfortable!(If only the A12 was half as good !!)

I think it's safe to say that it's the best surface I have ever seen on a drag day. (Much much better than Elvington, and significantly better than Santa Pod and Bruntingthorpe!)

It has wintered extremely well.. the main runway is dark smooth tarmac and runs for over 1.5 miles.. the start area is light tan brown tarmac with lots and lots of grip..Perfect for big power cars to catch a flyer from!

By the time our event comes round 20th August 2005, the new health and safety rules will be functioning very smoothly.

Any questions at all please contact me on [email protected]

Many Thanks
David McCarthy



P.S. If you suffer from Hayfever make sure you have your medication with you come August as the surrounding areas are farmland and the disused areas of the airfield are covered with Budlea(sp?), Also make sure you have a warm jacket as the wind really blows across the exposed Airfield!!
