Suprash Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 All these sub sections seem a bit much lol, why not each have your own sub section for just your car, that will you will all win lol Going fast is achieved by many different ways, turbos, higher octane fuel, turbos running even higher pressure, nitrous, big turbos, little turbos, NA-T, launch control and even then all that can go to shit because we couldnt launch a turd of the end of our own boot. I say if people wanna run nitrous, wanna run their tubbies at 1.4bar and wanna throw in a bottle of octane booster, let everyone do what they want, after all this is all about getting your own little arse down that strip as quick as possible. Best method, pull a face at the chap next to you just before the lights change then lift that clutch like you're trying to make the planet spin beneath you and scream all the way down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Spent a few hours the last couple of days getting the car ready, race fuel mapping yesterday, just jacked the bonnet up at the back to let some heat out and removed my sub, decided to leave the full interior in. Just got to brim it with race fuel now (im going to drive it there on the race fuel map:d) and give it a dam good clean and im ready to go. Lets hope for good weather for the day:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I agree with that:) Fitting my gauges (or most of them at least) tomorrow so I should find out what exactly I am boosting. I think its around 1 to 1.1 bar. it certainly goes alright. If I'm at stock boost I'll make sure i tell you before we go up the strip. Just FYI of course, no me making excuses:innocent: Of course, of course Best method, pull a face at the chap next to you just before the lights change then lift that clutch like you're trying to make the planet spin beneath you and scream all the way down I was being a tad facetious with my suggestion, but that made me laugh!

Branners Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Just a reminder folks, there will be a general meet up at 1pm at the lunch break to say howdy to everybody, and then open up the Bring and Buy sale shortly afterwards. We are hoping to have more of an organised feel to the day this year rather than just general milling about. The club gazeebo will also be setup with chairs and the timing board from above.

Homer Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 How about a simple LEADER BOARD, pinned up near to the place where you get your slips ? A plastic white board that you write on with a marker pen to record the running best times of the day. It would need to be split up into some easy sections, N/A TT Single Other I'll be tracking the leader board this year. However it will need cooperation from the folks running. The only time *we* will know the results is when people pick up their timing tickets, the Pod timing system doesn't allow us to have live feed of the results. We're seperating the results into the following categories: - NA - TT - Single's/big twin's It's going to be tricky enough to manage even that, so breaking down further on the day will be near impossible. Results will be posted here afterwards so if people want more details on each car it'll be added there. So - please ensure you pick up your tickets and inform me of the times, or the results won't be included!! TBC where I'll be either in the club stand area or by the office.

hadyn Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 In the TT section is there any chance of BPU non BPU sub-sections? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 In the TT section is there any chance of BPU non BPU sub-sections? Nope. Impossible to keep track of mods and what defines "BPU", etc. It'll be enough to track the 3 categories we have already. Plus - standard TT power, no cat back - there's only a few of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarlT67 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Also I think there should be a competition for best sounding and best burnout Anything with 2 step wins my vote for best sound. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why dont we get all the people who are suggesting the seperate categories together and they can help the mods manage the complete nightmare it would cause!! This is meant to be a bit of fun with some slight competition between the NA, TT and Single Boys thats about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
