It rained all day? Gutted, it stayed great up in Birmingham, I was getting annoyed that we didn't have this weather yesterday lol

I was cursing Gibbo under my breath that he was getting to have good runs today

Now I feel bad

Well same as yesterday, rained in the morning, they got track dried out around 14:00, a dragster ran which did like 272mph, then couple of Fiestas, then it rained heavy, so drove home.

My 2nd run, quite a slow 2.0 60foot, not enough revs by the sounds of it.

I was talking to the guy who had the tesla for a bit, he was quite miffed at the launch control actually being slower! still put in an 11.5's looking rather effortlessly!

Weather permitting I may be back on the 30th if anyone else fancy's it? Saturdays weather left me feeling a bit cheated

That red festa was at the pod in April as well. It raced that twin engine corsa

LOL @Rybo89 getting told off all through that run on Lizard King video XD

Jumper118 · 17 Sep 2017 at 23:03

That guy with the op sleeper Skoda superb should come next time. That would be funny to see people's faces as they get destroyed by a Skoda

I'm going to be there on the 30th, got the MX5 shootout that's been organised (Not an offical Santa Pod event)

We walked back to see everyone struggling trying to push their cars around mine.

excellent, I may see you there then

I think we should maybe come up with some kind of ocuk santa pod leader board with everyones pb times in each car and what hp/ tune/ tyres they are running. I would be really interesting to see how different cars compare and how they improve over time with both driver and mods.

You can get loads of info off those v box things too so I guess a few people already have most of this info. I still have all my rolling road printouts as well as time slips

I like this idea, it would be good to see how people are improving (or getting worse

) alongside mods/changes etc etc.

Can't wait for my Skoda time to get pride of place, right at the bottom.

If I am not too knackered from returning from California I might pop up and join you, particular if there is a tail wind, I want a 12s pass.

The only question would be how to set it out. Hmmm I'll have a play around with it tonight.

Late night racing, nice, you going? If its dry I will look at getting there for midday to do some runs.

Frozennova · 18 Sep 2017 at 12:48

ScoobyDoo69 · 18 Sep 2017 at 13:21

If I manage to come I won't be getting there early myself. Just take my time to come down (weather dependant of course).
