Anyone up for a trip to santa pod on the 18th. Me, ghigo and Rob_DOHC off here are going down, plus a few more mates. Gonna be the last outing before the weather turns REALLY bad!

 

What's the weather going to be like on that weekend? Got a few friends interested in running although not myself as I don't to run before I get a remap done since I've already ran on my current spec. If the weather holds out should be up for it.

 

Its prob abit to soon to get an accurate forecast, if the weather looks absolute shite nearer the time, Ill prob give it a miss anyway to be honest.

 

am going but nothink 2 run escort wont be ready till central day?

 

i might be up for this if the weathers good

 

I will be there plebett, doing anything to OCD before running??? also shall i bring a tyre pump this time?

 

Yeah bring a pump so we can mess about with pressures. I might buy some aa cover for my car, but thats all im gonna do lol

 

Well I'm defo going all my lot are all up for it. Some cars in our little lot:

R32 GTS-T, M3 Evo, E36 328i, couple of MR2 turbos, Audi TT running 270+bhp, VW Golf 1.8T running 215bhp+, CLK55 AMG, Megane R26, Cooper S GTT tuned 230+bhp plus some more

 

Thats a nice list of cars! theres gonna be some good competition. Weather looks good for tomorrow. See you there

 

What times did people get ?

Steve

 

Well in our lot some didn't turn up and some didn't run. E36 M3 (standard)got 13.8, 200SX S14 (we think about 240bhp) got 14.7, Cooper S (230+ GTT kit...had traction and clutch problems all day just couldn't launch) got 15.1, Megane R26 (~250-260bhp) got 14.6

 

I managed a 13.8, and the rest mid 14s in my cossie. Just couldnt the starts right! was busy though, only got 4 runs in all day. Spent most of the day waiting!

 

was a good day, bit busy tho massive queues were a pain in the ass.

 

Was a good day justa shame about all the fucking waiting, all about the old school ford crew in the mrk1's

mike see a few of your runs was looking good, im the fella that asked about your brakes in the que

 

oh was ya? yeah I got the brakes off nuts rus off here. There were quite alot of fords there, saw some nice motors! There was a grey MK1 Escort that was minty mint, was my fav car of the day.

 

yeah mate that was me

grey mk1 was lovely we followed him up from the m1, how about that tigra and the 205 they where fucking shocking

 

That Tigra was a fucking monster how well did it do the first 200ft or so!!

 

yeah that was quick until it stopped half way up the strip! didnt see the 205 though

 

You guys, what was your ttrap speeds with those times you posted.

I went sat night and it was mentally packed. Only managed two runs, 13.1@104 and 13.1@106.

 

My best terminal speed of the day was 104mph. I have managed a 108 before

Did anyone get any pics?

 

That was sunday day yyeah? Ive had 20mph head wind there before and it affected mph by 2-3mph. You must have had major one.

Sat night was ok for wind.

What HP do you have? what where your 60fts?

 

Nah there wasnt much wind, my cars not as quick as it used to be, the turbos playing up at the mo. It was about 350bhp but i dont think its running that now tbh. Cant remember my 0-60feet times.

 

Shut up kerbey! your cars just as quick you just didn't launch it like you stole it! and you did'nt have 17" wheels on last time.

If you didn't see gearbox rebuild bills every time you got to the lights you'd be fine lol

I did a 14.4 in the RST at just under a ton.

 

Why does this have to turn into a slaggin match?

 

What HP mate?

 

Thats why i ain't been this year

When i first started going, a few years ago now LOL you could drive up and down all day, you only stopped for a break

Steve

 

Behave you melon

 

It was like that up untill May for me. I went 7 times Jan-May. Most runs I did in one day was 40.
