Hi All :)

Just to let you know that I will be trying to beat my own 1/4 mile record for UK 928`s on the 17th September 2011.

I will be taking a friend with me to video the runs.

My current record stands at 13.03 at 113 mph.

I am hoping that with my new Wizards of Nos Revo nitrous system to turn up the power a little this time to around 1300 hp in total and so would hopefully be in the 12`s or possibly the 11`s ...

It will be run on an old World War 11 American bomber airfield at Baker Barracks on Thorney Island where the track is made from sectionalised concrete , and the traction is not great to say the least lol.

But its where I took my last record , last year and as the day is in aid of Help for Heroes , I am fond of running there

Anyone in the UK is welcome to come and watch.

All the best Brett :)

Ah well I was only trying to beat my own record anyway, and there is always next year...

All the best Brett :)

After the 2 recent deaths at Crail and York, it gives everyone another year to think about safety and make sure it's safe.
