What about the 24th? Another RWYB weekend and you might be able to get a few more people?

Sure, don't think ill be about but either way..

Don't mind at all, we should really choose the day that most people are going to be able to make, otherwise its not going to be much of a meet with just me and John.. (no offense John) lol..

Yeah no worries dude, either way I won't be running but I'll certainly have a trip out to meet people.  :drinking:
If you have to ask why, you'll never understand.

I'm sure I can do the 17th. Will confirm for sure ASAP - just need to ask the better half when we're in France?

Just tell her you'll catch up with her a day late?  :happy2:

how about when track temps are better, perhaps march time.
We done this last year and traction was a huge problem

Unless the track is prepped (which none of the RWYB days seem to be at Pod) then traction is always an issue.. But I agree, last year when it was snowing it was a bit slippery lol..

To be fair though, there was only 0.15 between my best 60 foot times on that 1st Feb day to the one we did later in the year with good weather etc..

What's up with ya man? you was only running standard power...  :signLOL:
As Jonny says, so long as it's a dry day (not damp) then there's no reason why you won't be able to get decent times. I ran about 4 13.2's on the 1st Feb meet we had and was suprised by the amount of traction compared to how cold it was. Plus, what little you may lose on the line, you will gain once moving with nice cold intake temps..  :evilgrin:

Stick me down though mate. As I will be coming down with my mate in his S3. He is gagging to run it since he has gone Stage 2+ to try and beat my 13.1 and see what terminal speed it runs to compare with mine. As we never got to see how they faired on the road.
