That looks rather brisk, nice to see it getting used to its full potential

Are you planning on timing it flat out? Would be interested to see what it’s 0-100-0 would be

That was far from its full potential, it gets much more of a beating on track :D

A mate of mine has got one of those draggy things so i'll borrow it one day and do some acceleration runs in it.

I've watched many cars end up on their roof through that section over the years :?

I posted a video on this thread then thought better of it and deleted it. Guy turned his Westfield over at Crossing at Shelsley a couple of months ago. Badly injured his arms, wasn't wearing arm restraints apparently.

The potential to have a huge accident there is enormous, it’s a miracle so many people get away with as much as they do.
