Jap Show Finale 6th - 7th October 2007

Tom, You're heading out pretty early buddy. I've always managed to persuade my way in, without the stand pass (so far). I think they will always let you in if you intend to run the car. Jim, what time's the convoy arriving?

sorry never replied to this stu lol

Just want to thank all who attended over the weekend, was a really good show (bar the cue getting out)

hopefully over the winter we can keep growing and make next year even bigger,

Jim

Jim, what was the queue like going out? I was stuck in the temporary traffic system a mile or two outside around one of the villages. Fuel light on all the way to the M6 Shell Station from the show, I was sweating a little, should have stopped at the first garage on the A14.

Guinea Pigs didn't perish, but they're holding a grudge now. We're not on speaking terms

Thanks for a great weekend everyone..

we spent about 45mins not moving far then all of a sudden just had a free run home

Jim

New UK Records set at the JapShow Finale 6 & 7 October 2007

It almost comes as no surprise to find that the boundaries of drag racing with Japanese cars have been pushed back once again after a storming weekend at the JapShow Finale at Santa Pod Raceway. Records were being observed for Front Wheel Drive, Four Wheel Drive and Rear Wheel drive Japanese cars, and all three were smashed in dramatic style.

Scott Whitelaw ran a new UK FWD record for a Japanese car in his CPL Racing Honda Civic Type R of 10.691 seconds and 137.27mph, backing up his personal best and beating Paul Jones’ record which stood for just one week.

Andy Barnes ran a new UK 4WD record in his Sumo Power Nissan Skyline R33 GTR of 8.408 seconds and 162.48mph. Andy ran a personal best of 8.271@164.90 but failed to back it up to 1% for the record. This is an outright record for any 4WD car in the UK.

Steve Whittaker ran a new UK RWD record for a Japanese car in his XS Power Toyota Supra, which ran a record pass of 8.389 seconds, and a record speed of 168.61mph. Steve also ran an 8.013 second pass and one with a terminal speed of 173.14mph but failed to back up either to within 1%.

All records stated are backed-up to within 1% at the same event in accordance with MSA regulations.
