Our trip to Santa pod RWYB
My mate Lee and I went to Santa pod today to give his escort it's maiden outing 
Here are some of the photos 
Lee challenged another rs2000 driver up the strip and I was to drive
The other driver then changed to slicks This was a vulcan engined rs and was mint
That resulted in a 16.327 to me
Next Lee went up against a Honda civic type R
Lee only just got pipped to the line and also recored a 16.368 (IIRC)
All in all a
day and the car drove back home under it's own steam

Aha so thats you!
It was me in the CTR!
I had a very crap 60 foot time of 2.8 as i had no grip whatsoever, the front was heading sideways at one point!
So i had to let off the gas change into second and start again out of VTEC
did a 15.7 run then BTW.
My best time of the day BTW was a 14.64@97 not bad considering i still have the standard manifold and cat in!
Bit chilly though was'nt it!

It was only his second run of the day because we only managed 4 runs between us 
That was his best run and he was a bit gutted to be beated just short of the line.I have higher quality pictures of that run if you'd like them?

I'm hoping to be going soon, but it's 350 miles round trip for me so it better be dry.

What they tend to do is chuck a bucket of water down in a certain area so people can 'burnout'
Thing is if you don't want to burnout like 90% of the people there it does'nt help with traction.
