Sorry, I'm not going to be able to come for sure now, family time comes first apparently

(to be fair i was away all last weekend)

Fair enough. Isn't that what Sunday is for though?

I've been working the past few weekends, but I still ensured the wife knew I was 100% going to Santa Pod and to not expect to see me. Priorities

Cue mine saying, but you went a 3 months ago. :mad:

Women seem to remember well! Well she can spend time with the little one, it'll keep her busy.

OK I'd like to go, but I just realised that in order to make it in time I'd need to wake up at about 4:30AM, and I don't get in from work til 7PM on the Friday, so unless I pretty much go straight to bed when I get home I probably won't make it...

I'll see how I feel I guess.

You could just take your time and meet us at Santa pod when you're ready.

Akagi · 15 Sep 2016 at 07:01

How long are you all staying?

Vita · 15 Sep 2016 at 07:47

Acne I finish work at 10pm on Friday. I'll be out the house at 5am. Man up.

Track closes @ 5pm so at least some of us will be there till then at a guess

E; saw your correction, was gonna say!

Haha I'll try! I sleep very little during the week and Friday nights I usually use to catch up. I'll move my long sleep to tonight instead and hope it doesn't mess me up.

Do we get a print out of the time we ran?

She works weekends so opportunity's come few and far between

Indeed, you used to get a slip for each run but now they print them all off on a single sheet, i suppose you could go to the office after each run.

I've got the luxury of casually rolling the house at 7:50 to get go Wellingborough for 8:30

OK I'll go, but only if I can go up against the Alto, and someone films it for the lulz...

Octavia Blueline 91.4HP edition

Vita · 15 Sep 2016 at 12:30

Yeah acme, think you go back to the office after you're done running. Don't think you need to go after each run.

I can take a detour and you can passenger up with me if you don't mind leaving a bit earlier in the morning

Akagi · 15 Sep 2016 at 12:43

How am I meant to compete with that eh.

300~HP MX5 or old Skoda Hypernuts? Take your pick!

~250bhp, 300 and I'd probably have an inspection window in the block, he does approve of the MX5 though

ScoobyDoo69 · 15 Sep 2016 at 16:21

I CBA updating the thread anymore.

Can I just have an idea of who is meeting where so that I can ensure we don't sit waiting for no reason?

According to Hypernuts it does 0 - 60 in about the same time a Lamborghini Murcialago, and a quarter mile in about the same time as an Impreza WRX.

I think he may have got his numbers a little boggled.

I'll be at the Tesco car park at the specified meeting time. Unless I oversleep... Unfortunatley the first you'll know about that is when I don't turn up, so if I'm later than seems reasonable, just bugger off without me...

I shall set three alarms to be sure!

We need a list of those meeting at Watford Gap and those at Tesco?

0-60 is about 4.5 seconds, 1/4 should be very low 13s.

Just tell me where you shall be and what time as I know your not that far from me.

Also what is the full address for the destination (Pod).

Last question does the timing start when lights go green or when I set off?
