Yep
You can stand inside the building, just not within the cell itself.

See, now that worries me... I know they are very pro there, but I want to see the AFR meter myself, for peace of mind....

Like I say - my paranoia would like me to see the wee LEDs on the AFR meter with my own 2 peepers.....

Paul told me that the owner would be allowed in to oversee the run, so as far as I am concerned, I will be next to the car watching it...
Well it moves... might as well make the most of it....

Just bumping up the list a bit... are we still wanting to do this then, I need to get the money together before hand...
I have a Paypal account, you could do a transfer I think, will have to get someone who knows how that works to explain it to me first though.

Is it too late for me to jump in on this? Having a custom exhaust and 200cell cat fitted next week and would love to see what difference it makes.

No problem. The interest seems to have dropped of a bit. Getting worried that I have to fork out the money the week before to book the slot..
Dont fancy doing that if nobody else turns up.....

Please do... ask away.
Is the wheelbase the same on a VX220 as the Elise..? It would make setting up the dyno cell much easier.
If we get 20 cars its £30 per head. less than that the price goes up to £35. minimum 15 cars I think.
