Hi Brett,

Thats great.
Nobody can say 100% that they will be there.
I am sure that everyone would love to see you beat that time.
Personally I would be happy to see you beat the 'other' Porsches.

Many thanks,
Stephen

Hi

Got a few more cars from 928uk.
Where are our own 928 lads?

If mine is done I will be there .... but its a big ask given current progress!! Weather doesnt help either at the moment.

Hey,

We can all only try.
Looking forward to meeting you.

Stephen

I am thinking about making it a target date for completion ... so fingers crossed.
Still need to get steering done, cam belt, belts, welding on arch, sort the fog lights, electric windows, MOT, respray and I am there. I think!

Hi Watchcam

It will be a great chance to meet all the 928 people and I hope many, many more.
All events are dependant on the people and cars turning up for them.
A bad turn out means the event may not happen again.
We should get as much use and pleasure out of them as possible.

I would echo that, for very little money you will have an opportunity to do something that will be a lot of fun. The best part of a day like this is the banter and meeting people.

For those that are tempted but don't want to be shown up or are worried about breaking their pride and joy. The reallity is you have all sprinted off the line at the lights many, many times this is no different. You go as fast as you feel comfortable, you have several runs to build your confidence and feel your way into it.

All sorts turn up on a RWYB day, I've even seen a Metro Mayfair pull up in front of the lights. It didn't break any records but the kid driving it had a big smile on his face when he pulled round to the paddock area.

I used to go to the VW show when it was at the TRL most years. That was great fun in my GTI.

Funniest thing I saw was a Polo G40 that accelerated away off the line in such a way that its exhaust back section shot backwards off the car! Needless to say its didn't go very far.

Funnier was to come though ... someone ran out, grabbed the exhaust and ran off with it. Must have had asbestos gloves! (or more likely a mate of the driver)

At the last RYWB run at York a new 911 Turbo got hammered by Land Rover.
It was not standard - it looked a cross between a hummer and Max's car.

On my very first attempt at drag racing I my (previous) 944 Turbo got put up against an Audi Quattro.
I noticed it was in Audi racing colours, had a Sport Quattro front end and a huge box on top of the dash.
We hammered it off the line, he opened up a huge gap but were so busy watching each other.
We missed finish line, the turn off exit, ran out of track and had to drive the wrong way back up the strip to the exit.
He got an 11.4 second standing quarter and again his car was not standard.

The events are great fun and great low cost fun.
