Gap in the market there. Pity I don't own a wide open expanse of land - could make a fortune by making a drag strip. |

Enniskillen is on the airstrip there .No good for proper drag as wrong type of tarmac surface .cant get decent traction off the line on it and not allowed to warm tyres up before a run either But its better than nothing |

i asked a serious petrol head recently.. who was trying to get funding to do it, was gonna take millions apparently, needs a certain grade of tar and the regulations are tight so that times clocked stand internationally. any thrifty spend petrol head millionaires on here? seems like the only way it would be done! |

LOL i put a subaru engine together a few years ago for a lad and he got fed up after going twice, car is sitting now in his garage and he bought a car for hillclimbing instead Edited by B2AUDI80, Dec 11 2011, 15:14.
