Im sure you guys now all know about the infamous v-max days. For those who dont know, youtube gtboard/m5board or dragtimes and check out their videos. This is basically what vmax is.
So people, we have our date....
As in true Vmax fashion we are NOT to discuss the date on the forum or any other public forum or social networking site so please refrain from mentioning it anywhere
You are more than welcome to PM me for details and I will obviously give you all the information.
What I need everyone to do is email Vmax and register yourselves.
teamvmax@hotmail.com
Name,
Car,
Mobile Number.
Craig will start taking payments as of next week when he is back from holiday and should you prefer to discuss the event with Craig or any of his team, feel free to contact them direct. All payments will be made direct to them and they will contact you with regard to this.
Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines and get ready for.....
DeutscheMAX!!!

Its roughly April/may time thats all I can say.
A provisional list has been started on another forum. Add your name to the bottom and registered next to your name once you have sent off the email.

To save me searching around, quick question. Is this legal? i.e. on private land etc etc??

Doubtful, otherwise why the secrecy
-
Maybe not, I can understand why they'd not want every Tom, Dick and Kevin turning up wanting to watch and having to deal with turning them away.
-
I assume you would have to have marshals, health and safety protocols / briefings, ambulance on hand etc. etc.
-
If it's open to spectators and the general public then you start running into problems regarding insurance, crowd control and facilities which you have to factor into the price. If it's done behind closed doors by like-minded individuals then there's no such worries.
-
Yeah, I just mean properly and legally organised - I'm not suggesting this is some sort of jaunt around the M25 at 4am :laugh:
-
Oh is that not legal? :confused:
:signLOL:
-
So long as you actually pay for the petrol that you use the receipt for as your time stamp, then I think it is legal :wink:
-
I've done vmax a few times and it's a great event - very well run and professional, only 2 cars run at once and the runway is superwide so minimum risk.
Best I managed was 172 in the Lotus. I'd love to do this again but I don't think my skoda is going to cut it!
:laugh:

It's at Brunters Mike.. Massive event and has been for a few years now. Certainly not some chavs meeting at Maccys and then heading to local DC.. :signLOL:
Just have a look a the machinery that usually attends and you will know what I mean..

Sweet.
Not a lot of point me bouncing off the 155 limiter, but I may ride along in my mates B5 RS4.
-
Does the GTI have a limiter? Sure I've seen some at 180+ :happy2:
-
Most GTIs have the limiter removed once mapped, my M135i is stock.
I could de-limit it, but CBA.
-
Ahh, thought we we're talking Golfs.

I just sent that email with my details, so I assume that means I'm now registered???

Where's Hurdy? Surely he's up for this! :party:
-
It won't be long now I will drop him a text :happy2:
-
Just dropped Pov a line. I need to know the date. I saw this earlier and thought it was for those who couldn't get a place on the 30-130 day!
-
Yep, jussa you are now registered!
Need to register myself still, just been so busy!
-
Cannot make this one :sad1:
Bang in the middle of my work rotation!
I guess I'll have to make the most of the 30-130 day. :smiley:
-
.
I don't understand.... Looking at the YouTube vid posted earlier, all I see is 9 minutes of cars very randomly leaving a rather undefined 'start' point. No evidence of timing equipment etc - Is this event just a meet for nice cars to demonstrate their exhaust sounds?
Please educate me :popcornsoda: :smiley:

The cars use Racelogic Performance Vboxes and all done through GPS. The 30-130 day at RAF Marham uses the same technology. :smiley:

Hi Robin
The "start" is really just the cars being allowed to leave ie the main straight is free from the previous run. It's not a drag race (although pretty often similar cars get side by side and have a go just for sh*ts and giggles). The straight you can see from the start area is pretty short, followed by a very wide sweeper round on to the main runway. About 1.8 miles down that runway there is a guy with two sets of timing beams, one for left, one for right lane. You can briefly see your speed as you whiz through the beams plus the guy there also keeps a record of who hits what speed. You then have to hit your brakes pretty f*cking hard to stop before the end of the runway.
:)
any excuse for a pic:

Nope, well, not when I did it anyway. Just timing beams set up on the main straight, cars have numbers daubed on them so the marshal guy knows which car hit which speed..

They may well use both now then. Unless Steve Jr was using his own Vbox on the last vmax event.

I'll not be attending this I'm afraid. 30-130mph day is very close to this, so won't be doing both..
