Steve W Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Just for Inf', I'm probably going to York on 5th as it's last chance this year....... Drag meetings are pretty thin-on-the-ground, apart from Pod, and I refuse to waste my time there any more. SO, unless any other, 'one-offs' crop up............... FatS. [ps. unless it's raining/sleeting/snowing, or, I blow it up before then ! ! ! ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted September 17, 2003 Share Posted September 17, 2003 Excellent, I'll probably be going along to that one too. How much is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Can't remember... Think ~same as Pod ? ~£10 entrance / ~£15 to run ? ? I'll pop check site in a mo'......... BUT, FAR more chance of NUMEROUDS runs than at Pod... you can EVEN afford to 'step-out' of the queue and rest/cool yer mota ! ! At Pod, you CAN'T, to get a few runs in you HAVE to keep in line, trickling/idling/stop/start.... it's MURDER ! ! OH YORK..... here I come ! ! !

MONKEYmark Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 hi i will take a ride over. last 2 times i have been only supra there. was in the class system where you race against simular spec cars.also get to race with the 4wd lads. chance of a small trophy for winner of each class. and there is a nos kit for fastest reactions. not sure how that works. http://yorkdragway.intrica.co.uk/index.pl?section=3 would be nice to have a race with another supra. maybe a mini knockout. try get eyefi up too he is local. could get a group shot. right off to go try sort car out. you love ya racing dont ya steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 is that the same date as the elvington thing gaz and kev going to york seems good as you get the full lights and propper times with 60 foot and trap speeds. they also put your results on there web site. so no bullshitting you did a 10 second 1/4 all ya times there. my last visit there X74 Monkey Mark not brilliant but getting consistant in times , and 60 foot times coming down. reaction times are ok i think. should have my tc fitted to see what difference it makes. could do with an oil change too. steve you doing the run what you brung or the class system i was in class x with 4wd boys. you could ask that bloke with artificial leg. he is called des brown. ask him about if you can do class x and rwyb so you can get more runs in. see ya there if you off will be nice to see supra in action whos going on track? steve w MONKEYmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorin Posted September 21, 2003 Share Posted September 21, 2003 Yep, the 60ft time is where it all matters. My best so far is a 2.1 but I still think I could have got better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TORQUE TORQUE all you wanna do is TORQUE hahaha you up for a blast. will have my tc in next weekend. need to get some octane booster or something. something to look forward to. will be good to see a few supras there. it feels slow on track. but its fun racing other cars. in 4wd they pull 1.7 - 1.8 60 foot times we seem to be 2.1-2.6 60 foot my best one has been 2.2 its good when you get it right beating scoobies off line whos racing then MONKEYmark Steve w Thorin ???
