demonstration runs at the jersey festival of speed

[jerseytim]

i was asked to take part in our local festival of speed where the roads are closed so cars and bikes can basically do what they want where wheel spins, donuts and wheelies (on the bikes) are encouraged. there was around 5000 spectators and i was in a group with a european wide tracked bmw compact ti with a bmw e30 m3 engine fitted and the other car was a vauxhall powered mk 2 escort

the m3 powered compact snapped a shaft and the escort lost oil pressure so i was moved to another group with different cars. unfortunately during a donut a stone was thrown out from the tyre and hit a spectator that fortunately did not hurt them but was enough to stop any more donuts.
i had a really good day, the car was running well and it was good to get some speed out of the car as our local speed limits are 15, 20 30 and max 40 mph
this is a video of an early run

there were plenty of other cars, one of which was a lotus formula 1 car which was good to see and very loud.
looking forward to the next festival of speed

Great video; thanks for sharing! Also ended up watching some of your other videos of your 318ti rally car builds, entertaining stuff!
