Well as MrF says 3rd time lucky

 

Chance to walk the walk and stuff that pesky blue 240Z that has been mentioned on here a few times in the last couple of months

 

Third time lucky - following two rain0offs at this venue, let us hope that next weekend's weather is a bit better:

 

Round 6 of the Z Club Drag Challenge will take place on 22nd July at the Shakespeare County Raceway, near Stratford upon Avon.

 

This round incorporates a Bracket Challenge for a minimum of eight cars (option for a sixteen car field if the entry is overwhelming ).

 

Entrants need to be on site early to ensure that they get signed on and scrutineered. Please ask the scrutineer to issue a "Z" prefixed number!

 

Morning will be free practice to dial in your car to the track and conditions. There will be two Z specific qualifying sessions to determine ladder positions.

 

The Eliminator will take place later in the afternoon. For an eight car field, there will be three rounds culminating in the two top cars meeting in a final shoot-out.

 

You don't have to be quick to win! Slower cars receive a startline advantage over faster cars equivalent to the difference between their "dial-in" times. In theory, everyone crosses the finish line together. In reality, the most consistent drivers with the best reaction times will take the wins. Confused? Give me a call (01277 374201) and I'll try and make it clearer...

Driving licence and crash helmet required.

Celebrating 'Women in Motor Sport’, For Ladies That launch supporting UK based charity Refuge – For Women and Children Against Domestic Violence, is an extravaganza of speed open to any female who wants to have a go with her car or motorcycle on Shakey’s famous quarter mile, and if they’re not racing you would be surprised at just how many ladies keep motor sport going as marshals, safety crews, track officials, mechanics and of course racers. So its time we celebrated the Fast Women of UK motor sport.

 

Car and motorcycle clubs are welcome to come along and participate on the track or simply book a club stand to show what your clubs made of. Clubs are also actively encouraged to take part in a full-on head-to-head quarter mile shootout with other club members of their choice. Just give us a call.

The only camera’s point at you will be those taking photos trackside! The only ticket you’ll get is a personal performance print-out registering your reaction time to the green light, 60 ft and overall elapsed time and mph for the quarter mile drag! After all it’s the cheapest form of motor sport in the country. Its fast and its accessible whatever your age or make of vehicle in a safe and legal environment.

Both the PPC Magazine day and For Ladies That Launch are part of a complete Public Track Day weekend package of events featuring super fast Jap cars contesting the Pro Street Drag Series, Old Skool Fords and Datsun Z cars through to Junior Dragsters and SuperTwin drag bikes tearing up the quarter mile.

A quote from that annoying blue 240Z owner

I'll be there, dispite going to Florida in the early hours of Monday morning. Looks like the wife will be doing the packing and running round as usual. I'm on strict orders to be home ASAP though so it cant be a late one. May even have to leave early.

 

Why not come along this Sunday and thrash his butt so he leave early and help his Mrs do the packing

help help help

Mr.F aka Mike Feeney really needs some help here to swell the numbers

Come on Guys if you are near by would be good to support him after the excellent service and advise he has given to z/zx owners over the years
