JamieP Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Sounds good mate nice one. So is this gling to be a mixed day of 1/4 and 1/2 mile drag plus circuit stuff? That's the idea mate, the 1/4 and 1/2 mile timing is done on every run you make, if you don't want to run the full 1/2 mile just let off after the 1/4.

Hopefully ill have the built box to give it some beans. Would like to see what it can make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Single turbo auto with a built box and high stall is the perfect drag weapon Rob. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Littler Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm definitely up for this, sounds like it will a be a great event, it's 6 hours round trip but it'll be worth it by the looks of it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Big thanks to Jamie for sorting this out. Just waiting for the costs back from Javelin now and we should know if it is feasible or not. The plan is to run it similar to Suprapod (must find a catchy name...SupraWood perhaps...nah maybe not). We will open it up to other select clubs, GTR would be one of those. We will also ask Sky to be involved if they want as they usually bring in some nice cars and have supported the club for many years. I hope to get a nice big marquee and perhaps some catering companies in to provide good priced food. We have a couple of possible dates, 13th July or the 8th August. I'm preferring the 13th July as it avoids the holiday season and it means everybody can come along. I will also find a nice big hotel locally so we can have the Saturday night fund.

JamieP Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Some name ideas would be great, maybe bringing into the names that its a 1/2 mile event? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L18msy Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I see your 541 miles and I raise you 1484+ miles And you know what I'm going to be there or I will do my best Would be nice to see something organised a bit closer to home. Taking into account the few hundred for fuel alone, then the hotel, then the tickets for the event then to feed and water yourself it becomes an expensive jolly. I doubt if anything was organised closer to us there would be the same commitment made to come up. I can't speak for everyone up here, but i think that is the general feeling up here. We are missing out on quite a few of the club activities, it is a shame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 If this actually happens I thank everyone thats organised it. It will be my first ever event and I will just be there for the fun as well as setting myself a personal record. It would be awesome to know how quick I can do the 1/4 with the built box and high stall. Low 11s would be amazing! Nice and hot that time if year too, exciting!

We are missing out on quite a few of the club activities, it is a shame. Agreed Liam but were in the minority so that will never happen mate. The only way I can see an event up here would be if it was a knock hill track day but even at that with everything on the doorstep and a lot closer to members down south why would they travel so far up here and most likely to be pissin down the whole time. It is a cost to head down south 100% of the time for Scottish members but to be honest when these things are happening once a year for a big event I don't mind and actually look forward to driving the car there and spending time in the convoys. Maybe a Scotland club tour could be arranged but I doubt it would get much interest bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's awesome roads here and the further North you go the better they are with stunning scenery but its all down to the weather if its raining and cloudy it can be really shit. The weather makes all the difference it's a stunning place when it's a great day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
