JohnK Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Is it not the big american show? If so it will be crowded and you wont get anywhere near the track time we got last year. Id love to goto another RYUB event there as its just down the road, but last time I looks Straightliners who ran the event we went to had no events listed at thorny Island. I did mail them but with very little response. Perhaps all interested parties should mail them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Ad Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 The event sounds good but waiting around for ages to get in doesn't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Originally posted by Mad Ad The event sounds good but waiting around for ages to get in doesn't! Waiting to get in? Do you mean to race? It will be loads better than you'll get at any of the main drag strips like Santa Pod. I think John is trying to put off too many folks going or something That's a shame because it was really good last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Haven't the last 6 times I've been!!!! Mind you I had an MG then!! And they didn't do it when it was on Hayling! Don't you have to register and make your car ready though? I don't have the overflow tank and fire extinguisher and stuff that you need!!! I'll go to pod one day. I'm still unmodded now so it's pretty pointles. I'd rather wait till I know the car a bit better as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have the overflow tank and fire extinguisher and stuff that you need!!! I don't think so. I was on my Fireblade last time though. There was one bloke turned up in his company van and even he had a go, so I can't see there being much in the way of equipment checks. As already mentioned, they allow passengers and Cars vs Bikes races. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRACHRIS Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 I was told by one of the organisers that anything goes, but if you have a convertable or aero with its roof off you need a helmet, but that was it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Ad Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Isn't there armed check points there still? I remember a few years ago going there and having the vehicle checked over by soldiers with shooters! Should be good to go up there thou so should be able to make it if its sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPRACHRIS Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 There is a firing squad to shoot anyone with red supras oh dear , no dont think so, not sure if they would put that on the adverts though:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Originally posted by Jake Why not? You'll regret it once you get there. I think it's mainly cos I'm not used to the car, I'd end up making a tit of myself dropping 3rd or something silly!! Maybe next year!! Or at pod some time.

JohnK Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 There is a big american show with drag racing held there once a year, it might have already happened in June, I cant remember exactly when it is. If its like last year I recomend to anyone on this board to go, you get loads of track time with hardly any ques. Unfortunatly I cant make that date :( the week after im of round northern europe in the supe and I cant afford to break it a week before! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbourner Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Apparently there's a more 'modern' car show on the field opposite the cinema in PortSolent on the same weekend. I'm probably gonna go to both! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SimonB Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 I'm probably up for this too, I missed it last year for some reason, but it looks like I can make it this time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
