Watched a bit of the street drags in Upper Hutt yesterday. No MX5s
competing (not a corner in sight), but it did make me wonder whether any
club members ever had competed on the drag strip in any capacity of MX5,
and if so what official times they recorded for the eighth of a mile
sprint? Plenty of cars seemed to be in the mid 10's while we were watching.
Some of the turbo cars were pretty impressive, one Nissan Skyline VERY
quick considering how little noise it was making compared to some of the
V8s it was competing against.
