Without wanting to say the words "yeah, I'm going to this" (I'm a little paranoid about jinxing things atm - someone will drop an axle-stand on my bonnet again); you know what I'm driving at...

Ummmm... Probab lysee yo uthere

Rob.

 

[Adams3]

Yeah i will probably be there, need to get on the quarter mile again!! Its addictive!!

 

[FactionOne]

I hasten to add that unless I strip my car and find a cheap jet engine on eBay, I'll be spectating only!

Regards,

Rob.

 

[peteA3tdi]

[kriswithak]

[voorhees]

Yes its addictive but at the pod you pay twelve quid I think but you can run up the strip all day rather than fiver a pop

 

[Markb]

I'll probably be their if I can get the time off, but I'll be with the Club GTi boys.

you're not kidding - should think there was a 20mph headwind the majority of the time, was blowing a gale down at the Pod today.. got ****** burnt to a crisp though saying that, the sun was still strong despite not showing much of the day!!

 

[chimmo]

This guy wasn't afraid of frying his clutch, giving it ~5-6000rpm launches off the line - fair play!! Not sure what times he was getting.....

click for bigger pic

 

[chimmo]

If any of you were there, post your car details and I'll see what I've got,

Cheers,


Ben

Being done by a 2.0L Beetle?

 

[Adams3]

Yeah luckily i pi**ed all over him up the quarter mile!! lol

That would have been embarrasing!!

 

[voorhees]

 

[voorhees]

The J plate Rado has a TT engine in with slight mods which give it 400 brake and it shot flames out the tailpipe on the way down...awesome
Mk1 golf g60 does a healthy 12.9 when running smoothly

 

[madwoman]

Some nice pics there. See you found the Pink beeza again. It won the 1601-1800 stock class

 

[voorhees]

Pink Beeza is looking better each time I see it...oh and well done in winning to the owner

 

[madwoman]

Thanks. Was only 2nd time i have done it. So getting better with practice. Need to shove off the line quicker next itme. I know i can go faster.

 

[Adams3]

What time did you run then??

 

[FactionOne]

Again... Gutted I didn't get there

Car not to blame this time though... Work... Did an unplanned 12:30 - 00:30 on Sunday (thank God for overtime pay!)

Nice pics; Looks like I missed another good one though, regardless of the wind/damp...

I wonder if it'll be Work that stops me getting to E38... *Looks at clock*... 04:25... I don't want to be making a habit of this!

Regards,

Rob.

 

[madwoman]

Best time was only a 15.4

Am pretty sure i can go faster but am still getting used to the launches and was not pushing it after last time when i loosened everything underneath and had to take her to the garage after Bruntingthorpe to get everything tightened back up!!!
