Default SMACS rolling road @ Prosport 18th Feb

As above, and discussed as part of our charity events this year. To get us started, we're having a rolling road at PROSPORT in Stockport. The cost will be £40 for a run, with £5 to charity.
The competition will be to see who can get closest to the overall figure for all the runners on the day. So if 10 cars run, you have to guess the total bhp for all 10 cars, closest to the true figure gets to donate the money raised to a charity of thier choice.
I will discuss start times with Pete nearer the time, BUT, EVERYONE IS EXPECTED TO BE THERE FOR THE DURATION OF THE EVENT. WE DO NOT WANT PEOPLE TURNING UP FOR A RUN MID-MORNING, THEN DRIVING OFF AGAIN. This is not entering into the spirit of the occasion.
Prosport will provide a buffet mid-morning for refreshment

Get your names down below:

Saturdays are a ******* for me, as I work Friday and Saturday night.
Tell you what, dont put me down, but I will possibly turn up in the morning to give my £5 for charity, watch a few runs and then bugger off to bed.
Sorry I cant be a part of the whole day !

Assuming I was invited of course

edit: Find out what time first run would be.. might be able to do it..

I thought of you when pete mentioned the buffet chief
pimmo2000, I know what you mean about working nights m8, as I've had to get a work collegue to cover me for 6 hours on the saturday, and I get to pay him back on a sunday night
I'll put you down for the first in line to run, I'll be at prosport for 8am in the morning, but the event will be starting around 9. An exception can be made for our night workers

my cars standard but you need a RR to start with.. gives you something to work with

Can't see any problem with arriving 9am.. will feel like a **** leaving soon after like, but cant be helped. Need to be home asap, but see how brave I am on the day.. probably be just me too, cant see any *******s getting up that early to join me

Cheers for letting me join in by the way

Any chance of an early one Chris as I'm on nights as well.

Cool, feb 18th, a work mate ows me a shift swap so if i do get rosterd (note cw42 ive got the spelling sorted this time) he'll swap. The charity thing is a jolly darn fine idea, i was thinking of a similar sudgestion but i feel i don't know you SMACS well enough to offer ideas but anyway glad you came up with that idea. Oh i can't get there for 8am but 9am is not a prob

one of the best rolling roads i've been to..........

http://bbs.22b.com/cgi-bin/ultimateb...5;t=000118;p=1

and no guessimates about road speed/rpms etc, they have a proper engine speed (rpm) sensor that hooks up to the engine to provide accuate data of rpm vs road speed and bhp etc............


if only Giles would smile a bit more.............

giles no longer works at prosport.
wah, hope you can get the time off.
wondered when you were going to post on here super pimmo2000, you don't drive your car, the mechanics do, so don't worry about "putting the power down", the car will do that

RR not for me. There is a distinct lack of corners and adverse cambers

All have a good 'un though and for a good cause!

Chris,

Are people going to put down what they have done to their cars so we get a rough estimate of what sort of BHP they are pushing out so we can guess better??

Tony

PS, think i saw your car last week very nice

Good idea tony, I'll edit the list to facilitate that
Once you've fixed your windscreen, that should be good for about 2 bhp
where did you see me? I keep looking in the "was it you" section, but no-one ever posts there
