Had a quick look, but couldnt find it, so when and where is Drag Wars, I might get up super early on Sunday morning and drive over, or maybe go straight from work Saturday lunch time, not sure yet tho. If its miles away tho I wont bother because it'll cost me a fortune in fuel!

Rich its in Stratford on Avon about 200 miles from you, we are going on friday with dave i think, get the weekend off

[Bluemini]

Dam, 200 miles is too expensive for red to drive in one hit, with about 15 to the gallon its gonna cost me a fortune!

[Race Dave]

Rich mark and myself are taking ours but with around 35-40 mpg its a bit cheaper
(on a trailer behind my works van LOL)
it'd be good if you could come can't you get a mate to share the cost

ok, im starting to think i want to come. Can someone work out how far away the Drag Wars location is from where i live in Faverhsam, south east Kent?

thanks to freda i now know im on the wrong side of london to get to the ace cafe meet as i would have to drive around the m25 to get there

and whats the summary of the prices and when is it etc?

[Sunshine]

use the AA route planner. it gives good directions and an estimate of how long it shold take to get there. i did a short plan and it gave that it would take you
From: Faversham,Kent
To: Stratford-upon-Avon Racecourse,Warwks

Total Distance: 171.9 miles (convert to kilometres)
Total Time: 3 hr 1 min


AA route planner

hope this helps, but you might find a shorter route

[P91MER]

Minicooperman, the total distance is roughly 167 miles, and would probably take you about 2 and a bit hours. www.multimap.com, and click on directions!

Rich.

[Sunshine]

ok, someone has a better website for a map than me. lol

[P91MER]

mad, posted at near enough the same time!!!! i only did it to stratford upon avon, and it did actually say 2.22 hours, (but i didn't want to put him off going!!))

I wouldn't plan a trip with one of the websites tho, i would much rather use an old skool paper map!!

guys,
thats really not that far to go
it takes that long just to get out of LA
we drive at least 6 - 8 hours at least 2 or 3 times a year
it takes like 10 hours just to get to oregon.
