i was having a laugh Kerry. Im in Lincoln and the best a birds car gets to round here is pink stripes and chrome wheel trims.
I hear rotherham is pretty good at the weekends, is it worth a night away from the home town ????

Corsa's would have to have very heavy seats to lose half a second.

16"s
Standard Redtop,
No rear seats, just a much heavier false floor.
15.2, at the mo, think i can get that down.
Lee Mitchell
16"s
Full interior
Full huge bodykit
15.3 he he he (not for much longer though).
So with smaller wheels u should get down the strip in about 15. Although u'll need 15"s and it stripped out to get a mid 6 second 60. Morelikly about 7 seconds in the real world.
Sinky, u wont get a more accurate time than at santa pod. And its hardly uphill

Daimo, ive watched hill climbing at santa pod
its ok there, never done the 1/4 any where else but ive watched cars there and seen the same cars else where, and noticed a difference, i.e every one seems to say how much a struggle the pod is.
