Veggie Santa Pod RWYB (Run What Ya Brung)
For a bit of fun I thought I'd do this. Not even sure what in. I could take the MGB or just do it in my Estate?! Details here: www.rwyb.co.uk

Anyway, does anyone have any experience of this? Is it a good day out? Better than a stately home surely? I like the idea of a relaxed day, but with a bit of throttle.

(BTW, I have no idea which forum to post this in, but it road cars are suitable - as is anything it seems).

Hey Adam, I used to do RWYBs in my legends car. I used to have great fun going up and down the strip, there a usually plenty of cars to pair yoursel against from standard cars to proper dragsters. if you get hooked then have a look at some of the lifestyle events like retro ford day and such like as they have more of an atmosphere to them and also take a look at shakespere county raceway as they do them too

Tell you what - you put Asbo down the strip and I'll put my tractor down it just for a laugh.

Does the clock go above 30 secs?

Last time I went was a civil service car club event.

I did it in a (then standard) UK Impreza Turbo and got mullered by a modded Maestro Turbo.

Twice.

johnh875 should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid
Have done a similar thing locally, a good bit of fun just don't get too carried away or it can be a bit hard on the clutch (or other driveline bits). If you can get away with it there is usually no need to stop accelerating at the 400m mark, 200mph+ cars mean there is lots of room for a bit more & still have plenty of braking distance

I went along, paid £25 and had a go. Someone also let me have a go in their MX5. I got pummelled by 5s! Although he did have a 3l V6 rather than the 1.6 I had!

It was good fun. Very addictive.
18s in the MX5. The owner, well the boyfriend of the owner, did it in 17.2s. She didn't mind! I did it in 14.9s in an E-Type.

What times did you get?
