I "may" have the permission, to use a local airfield near me for drag runs....if you look on the Map in Kent for a place called LYDD, you won't be far off....

I'm just polling for interest, I still have to approach my contact for full details, however they are open to anything, my slant has been all money raised ( £5 per run ), goes to charity

Timing? Who will provide the equipment?

sounds good

Sounds pretty cool, might be up for that, same question as above re. timing equipment or will it be retro and just use someone at the side of the finish line stating who crossed first?

Davie

One of the fast and furious girls can come and help

i dont mind if it's timed or not

I am WELL up for that. Drag racing is my favourite thing!

Yeah, not too sure about timing gear, I'd have to chat with the lady at the airport, however it's not to say someone here cannot help me a bit...

I'm going try for late July / Aug ( the weather is still good down here )...

It started off in the pub as a bit of banter, so if the interest is ok, I'll ask on Monday.

Lots of my mates are bikers, so would love this opportunity...against the coop on a long drag run

not too fussed that i'll get slaughtered !

What length is the runway?

I'm on it!!!

About 0.8 miles at a guess

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lydd_Airport

It is actually 0.935 miles 1,505 meter

No idea Nigel, however it's Lydd Airport, which recently had a Boeing 737 use it for a test landing / flight...it really is used mainly for short trips, like Le Touquet etc...

so it must be pretty long ?

Id be in!

bit far but if its in august and mines done i will come down to kick some southern butt

I'll be making some enquiries tomorrow

Speed gun would be good too for the fastest bit to get some comparison figures for the 'high-horsepower heroes'

I'm in if the date fits in

if its after the 25th july im on it

I'm in as long as car n dates are alright by then.

Certainly interested so long as dates are ok with me!

Im up for this.

Seeing as its local, why not

Dates and times needed now lol!

Apologies, e-mail now sent to my contact, asking for an august slot.

I'm not sure about the legalities, welfare etc, as this all needs to be checked by her. Fingers crossed

count me in if dates are ok

im still up for this!!

Just make sure this doesnt clash with the Agm mate.
