JamieP Posted October 8, 2006 Author Share Posted October 8, 2006 Had a great weekend! Thx to voo and Dan for the convoy down there this morning! I did 3 runs today and 7 yesteday. I managed to get a new personal best of 13.010 @ 119.2mph. Bit disapointing to not get in to the 12's like i'd hoped but I think its possible if I get a decent launch. I dont know weather it was just me, but did any other owners struggle for traction? Nice to meet afew folk today and have a natter, putting more faces to names etc. Also had a great run home up the M1, had a play with a white evo 9 with orange wheels, was parked near the grand stand area at the show. Dont think ive pushed my car before as hard as I did, it was great Gave each other the thumbs up as he turned off. Then had a play with another Supra owner which was great fun too!! Just a thought... do na's have LSD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezz Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I dont know weather it was just me, but did any other owners struggle for traction? Big time. I think the issue was mid track cos i was hooking up nicely in second, then as soon as i changed into third it slipped and hopped like a biatch! Was gonna come say hello Gaz but you disapeared into the timing slip office and i had to quickly anhialate a 350Z. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannyW Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Had a great weekend! Thx to voo and Dan for the convoy down there this morning! Yeah thanks for meeting us Gaz, was a nice steady drive down. Overall it was a good event, massively busy as expected, great turnout from the club too. Can't believe how peoples times have improved from this time last year, it seems 9 second runs are a regular thing nowadays Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 What a great day out Always good to put a few more faces to names. Congrats to all those that ran today, seems like most people were putting down good times: Jezzy, Gazza and Suprasteve especially. Very impressed with Steve Whittakers car, incredible what he's acheived on such a basic turbo kit (it was even cheaper than mine!). Top bloke too, one of the nicest Supra owners I've met (no offence guys)! It was a shame Greg had problems on the day, but some of the other pro Supra's did well. Anyone know what time Envy got? Oh, and many thanks to Lui for sorting out the tickets and stand - top job as always Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Forgot to add - took over an hour to get out the car park then over 2 hours to get home... traffic was terrible. Also think my engine did a 'Jake'.. its still running, but not well Silversoop - hope you got home okay? You disapeared on the m25 somewhere!

Kevin Huntley Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 LOL, your not kidding was pushing hard for a 9' second pass, but its not easy fighting with the car while changing gear with the other hand. Was'nt like Pod of old, I just could not get grip, particularly at the top of the track, which can get a little Lairy. Acheived a 10.1 which was a new personal best and left the track with the car in one piece! So the nine can wait till next year. Thanks Kevin I forgot this one of Kevs car...

Soonto_HAS_soop Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 The panel gaps on it was awefull.. I know the previous owner of the Nemesis car before they bought it, and let me tell you, it is a dog under that very expensive plastic..... Panel gaps are the last of the problems.

Bobbeh Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Kev your 10.1 was great I watched it from the stand, the slow looking start and 1 - 2 gear shift were what kept you out of the 9s I think... as once you got moving it really shifted. The commentator said you were laying rubber all down the track too Based on that run, you've deffo got a 9 in that car if you hook up smoothly.

Kevin Huntley Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Funny you should say that it scared the sh*t out of me....literally. Its fare to say I was a regular in the Pod toilet today.
