Spied this from the upper road before going in. That looks like a sizeable powerplant!

£1,700,000 gets you1,300BHP and carbon wheels. Was looking forward to seeing the Agera go, but it was a but lacklustre. Having said that you see it was really piling on the speed later, but obviously ran out of road.

There were kit cars, Porsches, M4, Golf R, Sierra Cosworth, Skylines, Escorts, Bentleys and many classics to name but a few. For me though there was only one. Sometimes seen stationary at shows, but so much better giving it some beans up close.

The 27 litre RR engined behemoth before and after launch. The thing just totally lit one tyre and disappeared into its own smoke screen. There was a pause before the next run just let visibility be restored.

For me, the most impressive run was from an old Skyline with 1000BHP. Went like a missile and did the 64ft in 1.9 secs. Not too ricey Mike, just small wheels and bonnet fixed slightly ajar, for very obvious reasons! Sorry no pic of that one.
