There were a good array of other TVR's running down the quarter mile Strip. Cerbera's,Chimaera's, S series, T350's etc along with Some real Dragsters.

There were a few Griffiths actually running the 1/4 mile strip ,namely Derek's, Andy Race's,Nick's, Neil's,Tim's and Pete Bull's

 


The fastest TVR down the Strip was Cyclones Cerbera 4.5 with a time of 11.969 and speed of 115.91 mph.

The Griffiths werent far behind that time/speed. These are the times I have for the Griffiths that run, I dont have them all so if yours ran and you have the time etc please let me know and I will add them.

A few words from Nick RO of SE London & NW Kent TVR Car Club,

We had a great time - I couldn’t get traction to save my life, but my fourth (& last) run was my best at 14.6 seconds with a terminal speed of approx 95mph, not great but a reasonable effort. I know I could do so much better, but I have a fair amount of mechanical sympathy for the car- some would call it driving like a tart!
