Low Flying for UK Rennlisters !
Some of you know about this already ....
Starting from an initiative for the GB 993 Register, I have organised a 'Runway Blast' at Bruntingthorpe Proving Ground, the former air base south of Leicester, for Feb 15th. One of the longest runways in Europe, you can get top speed or bloody close! Not an official club event, you understand, just a group of enthusiasts clubbing together to hire the facility for the day. As the owners are old friends, a good rate has been obtained, but we need around 30 cars to make it viable, ie keep the cost around £100 each. We have another week or so to confirm the hire.
Format is two cars down the runway together into top speed traps either side - for once you'll want your speed measured! So far we have 993 Turbo S, 944 Turbo, 964RS vying for FTD honours. And we can look at a Vulcan V-Bomber being restored to flying condition between runs!
Any interested parties please contact me on private email mauricepiper@hotmail.com for further details.
Cheers, Maurice
