Should be a good weekend to be honest. Regardless of weather me and the crew will be there all weekend just for the crack. Hopefully Skoda steve will bring the big trailer so we can have a clubhouse to stay in on Saturday night??

sounds like a plan,
I need lots of track time to play with the ecu and the rear suspension,

that was going to be what I was doing to be honest mate,

wanted to try the rear end at different settings off the line, to see what hooks up best,
I must save up for some slicks too

or some more drag radials but wider ones, and maybe a different brand

drag radials will be more than enough.

What sort of sizes are you using or after ?

Hi Stevie
I currently have 205 50 15
looking at going up to a 16" rim next year so something around 225/235 50/60 16
