3 of the people running in the event for scoobs have posted in this thread, and one of them is not c (he's on the dark side of the Evo

).

Personally i hope it p's it down, i get better drag times then, but if it is like the test day, then bring your sun tan cream, sheesh was that hot.

All cars will be road legal, taxed, tested and insured

good luck lads!

I think (hope) it means for the road as it did mention tax etc which is of no use on the strip....

All cars must be road legal and taxed/tested and insured. Documents of proof should be available for all vehicles, on the day. (Mot, logbook, insurance cover note, or be provided if asked). Tyres must be “E” marked or DOT marked, and fully road legal, with legal tread limits when scrutineered. No slick tyres or bald/dangerous tyres allowed.
