Rob W Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I was parked with the normal lot on the grass. Yea I saw you and your old man go up the strip but didn't see ya around the main area or the car. Saw Adams car with another white supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea I saw you and your old man go up the strip but didn't see ya around the main area or the car. Saw Adams car with another white supra. The car would not launch! I suppose you saw - It made good terminal speeds. The best was a 13.1@123mph. I didnt even see you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Yea it's slow off the line, but that's expected really. Sounded nice and goes well when it picks up. I was getting pestered to run mine but it was in TTC mode and I would of had the same slow start so I didn't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted June 30, 2013 Author Share Posted June 30, 2013 Wow didn't realise it was that long! In which today was like lightning! Lol Yesterday was complete madness - It was all the bikes and kids dragsters holding the day up! Who thought letting an 8yr old loose in a 5hp lawnmower engine'd dragster was a good idea?

Yea mate, atleast you will be able to launch it better. Nah I saw no point, I know roughly what it will do. Shame I didn't see you dude, did you see James' stang in the midst of the 2 Supras? Yep, looked lovely. Bet it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who thought letting an 8yr old loose in a 5hp lawnmower engine'd dragster was a good idea? Yes I agree and as much as I am all for getting kids interested in motorsport, SP have not got the balance right. We paid the extra for a test and tune day and the junior thing was going on all day long, well as long as the track was open, despite Pod advertising that they only sell limited track tickets, seems these juniors are not included in that. Sadly its going to be the same all season as they feature on just about every RWYB and Test and Tune for the season. http://www.santapod.co.uk/dr_junior.php People at the test and tune day were going mad about it, but seemed to fall on deaf ears.

SaqTRD Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Its a shame that there were so few Pro-Cars running compared to the last few years. I read on another forum that SP now make the Pro boys pay for running on the strip where as before it used to be free. So a few of the guys didn't run in protest. It was also sad to not see a Supra stand this year.... End of an era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan_Turism0 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 It is sad, we didn't have one last year either iirc. Hopefully will again though. I think we had 6 supra's on our stand lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littler Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 We had 3 on our stand in the end plus a stang lol, that's 9 Supra's including your stands Dan, plus Adi and everyone that camped over, so we could've had a good stand. I think a lot for the guys on here was the unpredictable weather, I only decided to go on Thursday as the weather looked brilliant but when you need to book a stand I don't think people want to commit because of the weather, which I can agree with when a lot of people travel quite far.

JamieP Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 JB has said there will be a suprapod next year, plenty of life left in supra meets I think, just needs somebody to step up and organise these meets with plenty of time in advance, leave it till the last min and like japfest the club stand will be miles from the action.

ripped_fear Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Was an awesome day and with the amount of supras there was disapointing that no one got on the thread earlier so a stand could be arranged! never mind was good to have a catch up with a few members. Although next time i need to arrive earlier than 11 couldnt get into show n shine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
