Bill Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 Unsympathetic Barstewards. I've done 136mph around Silverstone in my Sierra, and if i could have got 280 out of it i would have given it a go. He was only doing what 90% of us would do, if we had the chance to, i think its bad luck on the Guy and i hope he pulls out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved to have a go of that jet car and if I chose to go 280mph I wouldnt expect anybodys sympathy if I did crash. Having said that I realy hope he pulls through and my thoughts are most definatly with his family at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted September 21, 2006 Report Share Posted September 21, 2006 (edited) Theres places you can go to do it officially. Go to any of the Car shows at Silverstone, Brands hatch and the like, and you can hire track time, 4 LAPS. £10 or you can do the halfmile straight sprint for a fiver. You get an official certificate with Reaction speed off the start, average speed over the sprint ,and the actual speed you reach across the finish line. Its good fun. Santa Pod is the best for the sprints, they pair you up against the next in line and send you off in twos.
