I will get this info and post it up for you asap.

I know in total it was 2 miles of runway, with a straight, a u bend and a longer straight with a laser trap at the end and enough room for braking.

As soon as all the results are posted I will let you all know what they were and I will find out how long the distance was from exiting the bend to the laser trap.

It was held on saturday and it was the first one of the year and hopefully there will be another event nearer the end of summer I'm guessing so look out on pistonheads.


P.S. no problem guys it's a pleasure to shair this with you!
