Graham1984 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 As above - I don't mind organising them as long as I know they'll break even. I was looking thought the photos from previous Llandows on here a few weeks ago, really brings back the fun of being on track and great atmosphere when just watching others go round! Llandow is fun, I'm happy with that place but would like to try somewhere else (Pembry or Goodwood, maybe - forget the big names, you can only book them via the usual trackday organisers, it's a sewn-up deal); the costs or distances are prohibitive to so many members though; people start whinging about one or the other (or both!) at just the suggestions that are made, so there's little motivation to bother actually organising it. http://www.barc.net/AMRCO/ukmapjpg-04.jpg I live about 8miles away from Goodwood so if you ever need some help sorting accommodation for a meet there I will gladly advise you on any nearby places possible to stay at depending on where you have to travel to afterwards.

He's big enough not to have said anything on here. As I've said a few times before, a track day would be ace. Llandow looks fun and easy for a novice, if a little short.

Abz Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 C'mon let's get booking, friend of mine wants to bring his 335i to test on the strip. I call it the modern day Supra & it would be good to see how it fairs against another stock TT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DodgyRog Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) I can only commit to one big weekend event a year at the moment and the Dragonball is a great event for me and Jen, so SupraPod has to take a back seat this year To be honest I am just really happy to still be able to keep the Supra still, but hopefully the event will continue for the forseable future and I will get to go next year Also the Hotel problem has not helped this year, convincing Jen a tent is a good idea was never going to happen lol Edited June 13, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After Dragonball and JAE I find the thought of Pod a bit too much. I am not really keen on dragging my Supe so it doesn't really hit me as a good use of my time or money. The only thing for me would be to meet some long standing members that I always seem to miss, ie the Scottish lot, Blackie etc. We may come but it is unlikely with our other commitments. H.

Hammer Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 It would be a real shame to lose this event. I have been involved with a couple of other car clubs in the past. One of these clubs did loads of 'live' events and both clubs were/are excellent but nothing we did with either of those clubs compared to SupraPod, it really is a top event. We are travelling again this year and it costs us over £50 just to get off the island before we even think about petrol etc. but the event is well worth it. I think that maybe numbers will pick up very near the date if the weather looks settled as i think quite a few will be put off by the indifferent weather in the past few years and wait for the forcast. I understand that it is the signing up for the drag/drift that pays for the day as JP has said but we do not all own cars in the condition to participate, so don't be put off. By attending you will see what the Supra is really capable of and that will probably be enough to give you the bug to push on and sort your Supra to higher levels. I'll be out on the strip as soon as I can, N/A or N/A-TT. (Yeh, yeh don't take the p***). To see a Supra do it's thing is a great sight. As members of this club we should also not forget the amount of personal time and effort the mods. put into sorting and running events for us. I know from experience with a previuos club what it takes and the fact that people turn up and have a good time is really the only payback they get. If they did not do it the club/s would die. As for going to Scotland/Knockhill I'd be up for that as long as it was in the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I call it the modern day Supra & it would be good to see how it fairs against another stock TT. 335i vs Stock supra tt or bpu would be a good race I had a go with one from about 50 to 130ish and I was slightly faster. That was after I got 356bhp on a dyno Would be interesting from a standstill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driving his 335i made me think about my Supra straight away, though I think the Supra might have the slight edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Sorry that I can't be there guys. I hate missing suprapod but it's my wife's birthday on the Friday so have the family for the 6th and 7th and have the grand prix to go to the next day and have to be up at the crack of dawn. Really sorry P.s - can we do another bovingdon one day? That was mental! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
