theres still a group from Nottingham going down at 7:30ish

if its raining the pod might not be on, but
as it is the first POTN.....

Phil
See ya there, looks like Steph & Harj are going too

Paul

Even when it rains SPOD is still open, ive been there twice when its raining heavily and they still wait for the chance of it stopping. When it stops and they check its all clear above, they have this huge Drag Hair Dryer with a Jet Engine http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif Dries the strip pretty quick.

See you lads there!

i'm still going

even if i have to wait and only get one run it will be worth it

http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

LOL puff.
I think loads of people wanted to avoid the risk!
I know a lot of us went to the fleet meet instead.

Cem

p.s. Ironically, it didn't rain all day! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/rolleyes.gif

Great afternoon, Scoobies amongst the quickest there.

The Scooby Car Cleaning Club will have had something to say about a couple of examples mind. ROTFLMAO http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

They should stop goons hooning it around the pit lane though. That's what the bloody strip is for.

Cheers, for taking that vid Craig (though it had to be the one which took me 3s to react.) http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif I've had a look, and the front wheel arch opens about 8"s on take off. cool.

Cheers folks, top day out, hope to do it again soon...

Peter.


(Isn't it a 13.5s 1/4 for the M5, the fastest saloon car in the world?)

I enjoyed mesself!
Racing got going about 12:45hrs (ish) good mixture of cars, must have been 20+ Scoobs there. Good to see some familar faces and meet some new ones!

Highlites of the day for me
Chap in a red Nova who went backwards as the lights turned to green - Nice one!

Stef & Harj took joint first place in the 'Camouflage your cars to make it look like a muddy hill' class. The pictures will be posted up soon!
Ironicaly, the Pod security chap got stuck in the mud whilst 'advising' us to move our cars off of their luvly grass - all good natured!

Big thanks to Peter who helped get Harj (well his car) out of the mud and got platstered (and i do mean plastered) in mud!

All in all a damn fine way to spend a Sunday

Paul

Shame about the rain yesterday, I didn't run but I had a little fun in the Mud http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

I was stuck for 10 minutes in deep mud on a field that Stef and I thought we could play on, having bald tyres on a 22B in deep mud doesn't help.

Thanks to the lads I was out, please send the dry cleaning bill to me and I think the video footage and piccies will be interesting. LOL

Still doing my Powerslides in the Gravel was fun enough as the onlookers really saw how a 22B is suppose to be driven http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

A great day out, and some really nice scoobs on show. Good to meet craig, Stef, harji, salsa king and others.... superb cars and had to be some of the quickest on the day ...

Someone was putting in 13teens in a blue scoob - 103 over the line on the first run i think? quick.

There were about 40ish POTN members that turned up, although they were scattered all over the pits and no POTN banner it was difficult to say exactly how many.

Some came up from Plymouth, down from the North too so it made my day that the strip dried out for 4-5 hours racing.

Not bad for a first effort, roll on the next one. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

ps stefs car was well and truly caked! lmao!

brill day
Simon with his P1 got SQM 13.5sec @ 104mph! wow

best i ran was 15.163sec that was at 91.05mph
reaction time was 0.420!!!!! (standard MY97 turbo)!!though! except magnex centre+b/box +K&N induction! lol


good day though, best time to get on the strip was 4:30! no other cars wanted to go (everyone gone home) so Simon (P1) and i had time to test our cars against each other!!! LOL

Areo (Tom) ur v. quick too!!!!!!! v v quick.

Cheers Hos/Phil,

I reckon that headwind took a bit out of the times.

The best fun I had all day was running against Simon in his P1. He finished travelling 104mph to my 99mph.

I've been trying to calculate an approx 0-60 time from the times any one got any idea how?

Cheers,

Aero. :D

Hiya,
