Tim Schrick goes drag racing in 1000bhp Evo

Road is still on the road filming TV shows for Tim Schrick's Turbo Automagazin program on Sport 1. And Saturday saw Tim take to the drag strip, at Santa Pod (www.santapod.co.uk), at a RWYB (Run What You Brung) quarter mile event... for the first time in his life! A circuit and sideways man through and through, this was a little outside Tim's comfort zone, and "not really my scene" he said. However, when the rains cleared, he soon got to grips with Andy Robinson's Car Planet Racing-modified 1,000bhp Mitsubishi Evo...  saying "it's all nothing, then this ferocious 'raaaaaaaaar' boost hit and the car is squirming all over the place. I have a lot of respect for the guys who built this car and do this stuff, but it's not really my thing at all!" He was grinning from ear to ear mind! Maybe he was just glad to have survived! Good on you Tim. Donington Park for two days now, track testing a modified 911, another monster power (but circuit spec) Mitsubishi Evo and the amazing Chevron GR8. Reports here in Road magazine, and on the blog very soon...
