Great day on Saturday - lots of excellent cars and planes on display.
We were all allowed to play on the runway, so they set out 1/2 mile drag strip and set us off 2 at a time.
Just as a reminder of how fast our cars are, I ran from a standing start to 150mph (indicated, so a bit less) in the 1/2 mile. As the day got hotter, the top speed dropped a bit but there weren't many other cars there that ran that sort of speed
The poor guy in the Porsche 911 next to me was left for dead....
See you all soon - next stops: Abingdon track day, Gurston Hill climb and Bedford track day.
