Bobbeh Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Great weather, and turnout, seemed must more organised than before. A bit chilly but it was nice when the sun came out and it was good to see some Supras and other cars getting quicker and quicker! I still cant fathom out how Puntos and Audis were running etc, but it was a very good day I also witnessed 3 - 9 sec runs by the Sumo R34, which was great. And he even had a laugh with Ronnie with the hazard lights when he ran a 9.6 which was funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 We saw you parked up at the entrance m8 as we came in, wondered what you were doing there. Sorry to hear about your misfortune John, hopefully there'll be other opportunities this year for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None this year Bobbeh , thats it for me , the next time you see the car used in anger it will have a 'built' motor , rollcage and a few other mods prob a bigger Turbo and progressive NOS , i will get a smaller Turbo for street use as it will still be used daily , i really think we could have run a very low 10 or high 9 today as i know i had a set up that would hook up and not spin and would enable me to 'spray' off the line , still next year will be good with the new Jap car series etc .

Bobbeh Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I just remembered, Fensport are knocking out some cracking cars, they had 2 11 sec GT4s that went like stink, along with the Corolla and countless other little variations they do... they certainly know their stuff with the 3S-GTE!

Jason Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 It was an excellent day, nice to meet a few of the club members and it was good to see such a great turnout from the club. There was some very nice cars there today, the club and its members did themselves proud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I was pretty sure that Red trailored one got an 11.0 sec time... and ran a higher 11 later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how come we got stuck on the grass at the back of the ground? Did anyone else feel we were being put to the back? Or am i getting paranoid in my old age? But on a positive note..it was much better organised than last year and a good fun day out. Dave :flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I wanted to run both of my cars down the strip but I really was not up for queueing for ages just to get a ticket and then doing the same just to get onto the strip. Good turnout though. And I was very surprised to see so many NSX's which usually stay away from these sort of events lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lazarus Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 i couldnt work that one out either. putting high powered rear wheel drive cars on the grass and putting the 4 wheel drive lesser cars on the tarmac Phil the fixer and I said exactly the same thing to each other as soon as we'd parked up, its a good job it didn't rain else we'd all have been stuck spinning mud.

Suprash Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Well I had a great weekend, although a little disapointed in the end. After spending a few hours saturday removing every bit of un wanted weight oof the car, saved almost 7 stone off the car, took two 17" rears, on very bald rubber. So me and Paul drives up with Kev Millhouse to his sisters who lives 10 miles from POD on the Sat evening, got to do some great speeds, and had a race with a Mitzi Evo, who just wouldnt give up. Got to his sisters around 21:00, and then went out for some beers, that wasnt too bad but then I got involved in some sustances around 01:00 Sunday morning, and when I was still sat up with Kev having a smoke around 04:30, I knew things would be messy. Still went to bed, next thing I knew its 09:30, SHIT, SHIT, SHIT, we're late, made panic, swapping the racing wheels over, removing head lamp, and racing there, only to find out that the queues had become huge, so hung around for a few hours, didnt get to see anyone apart from the few usual, Oh and the honey in the red panties having her photo shoot over by our cars, all I can say is, what an arse....GGRRRRRRRHHHH....... Left around 15:00, to make it home, and onto the train and into work, so after 3/4 hours sleep last night, I will get some more tomorrow......but I have lived cars all weekend, GREAT....

Guest Rays the roof Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Counted 53 Supra's on our stand at one point, and three more were on the track. Not bad considering we only had 50 passes! Great day, though dissapointed I didn't get to run. Did manage to be mr perv again and got Loaded model on my bonnet. They asked me to feature in magazine if I was running - damn!! We should try and arrange a meet there before the end of the season... Photo's to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
