Santapod is a victim of its own success Your be lucky to get 3 runs in well you might if you sit in the queue all day long

I know i will paying paying a few trips to avon park this year fook queing all day to get 2 runs at the pod like i did last year

JonnyBravo

I'll be there.

They are running the Castrol challenge again this year but to get people more involved they now offer free entry and unlimted runs to the next rwyb if you were the fastest on the day.

Good for my mate as he so far has the quickest car of the Castrol Challenge this year

If the weather turns nasty though I'm going to head to Sherwood Forest for the Rally

jr

i was there the other week and we managed to get 27 runs in, so its not allways terrible for delays etc at this time of year

xr2i-carl

27 runs? on RWYB day? impressive were you the only car there?

JonnyBravo

I can quite believe that tbh, some days early in the year are just dead, if the weather looks shitty then no one shows up and in can work in your favour.

27 runs though would of cost me £150 min in nitrous alone

Nice and cheap being a spectator now

Stavros

Sharespears a good place for RWYBs, suface seems generally better, but most of all, its dead
Even in the height of summer you can get 20 runs on a RWYB day no bother!

I got 7 runs in my mini up there, no probs, and I wasnt even que'ing all the time!


Even though I only managed a 21.4 @ 60mph LOL

M K

i wouldnt of thought sunday would be too bad as its not a major or club event

Sexy-RS

I have been on a sat rwyb thinking the same - As i thought alot of people would be at work and I only got 2 runs in

jr

no, there wasnt that many though

record i've done was same day as national day, when we did 33 runs iirc, 3 of us sharing 1 car

M K

iTrader: (9)

i checked the website and it says you only need a crash helmet for bikes and open top cars,

can any1 confirm this in case i read it wrong

JonnyBravo

Thats correct OR if you are doing over 110mph on the 1/4

The 110mph rule is new and apperently enforced as of this month although I got away for ages when it was 100mph.

Are you bringing the fezzy down ?

Should set some good times tbh

M K

iTrader: (9)

yeah im taking the fezzy,

on the old t34 my terminals were 109mph at the daddy thrash so i should make over 110mph i think,

but i aint got a lid

means i gotta try find 1 by the morning

sportyboy

i got 19 runs in when i went last.. but was same day jr was there . when i normally go theres a huge que thats why last time i went ran mine for the first time as it was quiet

JonnyBravo

I can bring mine if u wanted mate.

I'll be in the VERY noisy Corvette

M K

iTrader: (9)

i see if i can get 1 off my mate, but could you take yours just incase mate,

if your in a noisy corvette im sure you wont be hard to find

is your real name john? rather than me asking people if they know jonny bravo

JonnyBravo

My name is actually James

I'll stick it in the car now so I dont forget.

Keep an eye out for this :

bud-weis

JonnyBravo

Oh feck, 2 Fords, best warn my mate to pre book a AA breakdown vehicle as they will be busy

bud-weis

M K

iTrader: (9)

il come find you if i need the lid mate
thanks very much

JonnyBravo

Just checked your car in the garage and I think its passed the basic pod setup

Will remember to bring my camera

OldDan

You get a few more special cars at Santa Pod, but personally I prefer York!

JonnyBravo

No probs Marc, I'll be over to have a look at your car anyway.

Looked great in the feature

The pisstaking will stop when I get my car on the road

M K

iTrader: (9)

no pobs mate,

il be the 1 on the AA lory with a broken gearbox

Fiecos Dan

Good luck mark.


They say you need a lid, but the only time i had to wear one in my cossie, was when i run in Redline rumble event.


i went to shakespear for the first time @ the end of last year, and i wont be going back to the pod for quite a few reasons, if i had the choice of the 2.

1 being the wait time, 2 being you can watch everything while you cue, 3 being the grip is as good as the pod.



But even on RS central day, i've managed 8 runs @ the pod, just because i keep running to the end, where most get fed up and go home at 4pm.

M K

iTrader: (9)

is shakespear where they held the fordsport day? as ive run there before and you get to watch as your queing

i only got 2 runs then rained off

JonnyBravo

For 300ft of Santa Pod has been re surfaced and by september they will of done the whole track again.

As Dan said if you wait around then you will get plenty of runs in.

I'll be there by 10am, got the helmet and tow rope ready

M K

iTrader: (9)

cool

im leaving essex about 7.30 - 8.00

so will be there about 9.30 - 10.00

i'l pm you my number

Fiecos Dan

Just spoke to Mark,

He'd done 3 runs, slippery surface, due to be newly laid this year.

last run with NO traction in 1,2 and 3rd, 14.2 @ 106, with more to come.

Rick

Cool

Dan - do you know anything about the new t34 Mark has had fitted? I remember reading he was going to fit the new roller core one. is it on?

Fiecos Dan

Its a Td/field spec GT30, with a .55 or .48 ex housing for low lag. Other than that i haven't asked.


Similar idea to the TD's md240 for the cossie.

Rick

is it the one that was tested in Perf ford?

Fiecos Dan

That was a md240 style on the cossie.


but the test wasn't a fair one, too many faults/variables.

Rick

yes, it was flawed.
