Will do mate, trying to get a pass out from the wife (again lol)

Yeah, I had seen that posted up on their website about amount of time for RWYB, but again, I'm working on Monday so can't make that. Best I could do for Monday would be to get their for about 2.30 ish, days wasted then though surely.

Yeh probably a waist by then, last sunday was the same but got loads of runs in at the end about 4:00 onwards.

So dont mind doing Sunday but its best to stay till 5:00 ish. Its only an hours drive home anyways.

Will be going back to pod at some point next month aswell for better times.

Oh I wouldn't mind staying while 5

When you went on Sunday were you in full road trim? How much fuel? Don't think there is a Shell garage close by to there.

Agreed. The site is a bit crap. I tried on quite a few occasions to view the results page but no luck.

Now your thinking like a seasoned pro

I'd try and do the same, maybe whack a 20ltr Jerry can in for the way home but I don't know where it could be left.

Don't need spiggot rings mate, the wheel bolts will line them up

Some people were just using a 500ml bottle of petrol to get down the strip and back

You could possibly leave it in each others cars as we run but last weekend they put us in classes and we'd be in the same one and running together. The petrol station is quite along way away aswell. I do know where there is one but it aint no vpower.

Perhaps just call the AA and say youve ran out of petrol at the entrance and just run until you do actually run out

Haha, yer, maybe worth a try.

There's a shell garage not far from grimson bar roundabout when you turn off the a64 onto the a1079. Rather than heading towards pocklington, just head a mile towards York and there's one on the left there.

 

[Al]

I should come down in Blue Bess to have a go too

 

[RobH]

Yes you should, how far from you is it Al?

YO42 4SS, Seaton Ross

 

[Al]

Too far. No point anyway as I wont get past 14.3 as the car is still standard

 

[Balddee2]

14.3 @ 102mph.

You will beat the Civic and Clio, and you will get beat by the Golf assuming all are driven to a high standard.

Thats a mighty impressive time for a standard car, was it running standard fuel or 98/99 RON and was it a cold or hot day? or just a nano second reaction time

Doesnt matter about reaction time, you can sit there for a second and it wouldnt affect your overall time.

Rich you got that day ticket for sunday mate
