Friends, neighbours, and American puppets of Euro Night Wave, it's only one week until Brit/o/ has its first track meet of the year. Join us at Shakespeare County Raceway from the 8th of April to the 9th for DRAG MEET II, hosting SHITBOX CUP, the premiere drag racing series for largely standard Nissan Micras and lesser cute cars. Some of us are going down on the 7th to save missing all of Saturday's racing driving up there so feel free to join us for a lot of alcohol.
Shitbox Cup cars are up to 1.3 DOHC or 1.6 SOHC cars that are largely standard. Non-shitboxes can compete but with penalties. Current reigning champion in his "Boyota Rustlet" is rumoured to be competing with a refreshed clutch.
There will be grills like Danny and Sam available.
Also Brit general. How have you found the nice weather? Want to moan about insurance on an M5 at 19? Been crashed into by old people today?

Shifty lad Tom will provide air pump hire throughout the weekend for all you vehicular needs
Benjamin Jones
What is the story with the bonnet crater
Evan Foster
Been a nice day in Notts. Passed my test on Monday and loving life so far, happy I managed to get insurance at a reasonable amount of money without a cuckbox
Elijah Perez
yeah, but it means driving halfway across the country in a shitbox with some sort of tapping from the engine (fucking hope its just the valves), on the day i get back from uni.
Connor Roberts
1.3 Ka? You can adjust the valves easy. It's a pushrod engine so they sound a little tappety but I'll bring a set of feeler gauges and we'll do the tappets at the meet if you fancy
Noah Sanders
Post an email address if you'd like to join Brit/o/ Slack chat. Easiest way to keep in the know about meets and what traps are going to be where. It can be any email address, personal, anonymous, we don't care.
Angel Flores
yeah, got a feeler gauge a couple of days ago, just hoping it is the valves, and nothing i would have to pull the engine for. Honestly, if the rules dont ban it i might just get the train down and buy a car there, and scrap it when im done with it, so i dont have to fuck about with tax/insurance
Jacob Kelly
What dates are the USC meet? I might be able to make that one
Nolan Thomas
Idk if shakeys will be very happy about you running a car that isn't taxed or insured, but I guess if it's MOT'd they can't be too upset.
Robert Walker
4-6th august
Logan Peterson
Nice
Landon Butler
Tapping or deep knocking
Aaron Gray
tapping. the oil level looked good, but im going to refill it anyway. it probably is just the valves, they need adjusting every 10k or so, though desu it might be a bit loud to be valves.
Jackson Lopez
Dolomite has two inlet runners from each SU carb, what happens if i weld a balance pipe between the two inlet "manifolds"? Surely it'd run far better
Jacob Lopez
Scaffold pole should do the trick
Levi Hughes
Why cant you Brits keep a thread up for longer than few hours?
Logan Smith
We start them at 11pm or so.
Jayden Roberts
So how fast can the Dolomite go?
Isaiah Taylor
Why would the Dolomite go fast? I took it to 70 once but I try to cruise around 50-55 cause it has 4 gears and noisy big ends/mains
Bentley Rivera
They literally have cars racing which aren't Street legal, they just don't want you fucking around on site, they don't give a shit what you do outside
Benjamin Torres
True. Is it a different scrutineering process?
Easton Hernandez
Is it leaking fluids? Nope! Welcome aboard!
Mason Myers

How much is insurance on an old micra or Starlet? Might buy one for a cheap runabout
Juan Jackson
I bought it like that but a new bonnet be about £20
Jeremiah Anderson
k11 micra is insurance group 11. mine still costs fuckloads to insure because i had my licence less than a year. im thinking about selling it and getting a 1.6 capri since it costs around the same to insure.
Camden Robinson
Starlet a shit Micra a best come to Wales not online and see what happens
Isaiah Wilson
Are there going to be any "white people"there?
Colton Williams
how long you had your licence for? shit gets a lot cheaper after 1 year, might just be worth waiting until then
Justin Rivera
I've had my license for 3 years and not much change in the price area
Brody Evans
The Based Purple God will not die, it is immortal.
Ethan Ross
They literally open the bay, look to see it's not a box of chickens or small children. If it goes vroom it's bonza.
The scrutineering is nothing on road rallies, y'know, where they actually check things.
Camden Hughes
They checked my frunk mate
Brayden Kelly
Only because they want to empty your car as much as possible to give your shitty clutch a chance in your Toyota coffin
William Collins
Sorry lads, going to GTI Springfest at Pod with some normies. Still down for USC though.
Sebastian Reed
what you driving? Ive just had mine go over the 1 year mark and its gone down by between 1/3 - 1/4, have you tried price comaprison sites/sticking a parent/grandparent on your insurance?
Matthew Jenkins
>letting a thug keep threads alive
Landon Morales

Kayden Cruz

Austin Lee
I'm very tempted to come to USC now. It does look like some cheeky fun desu
Jason Gutierrez
