Anything else?

Anyone?

Are you going up the pod?

You will need FULL driving documents(inc counter foil) this will be £15 for unlimited runs;)

You will need to launch about 5K though otherwise the turbo will not spin and you will bog down :D

Will it cause any damage? .....it may do it may not you take your chances ;) IMO as long as you dont do 20 odd runs in a day you should be fine.

These days a very busy so get there early and dont bother going if theres ANY chance of rain cause it will be a waste of £'s ;)

16vmarc 25 October 2003 06:51 PM

j_p_h 25 October 2003 09:15 PM

Marc i picked my scoob up on a saturday in the evening and on the sunday mrning was running down the strip :D

Got a 14.1 that time too so was impressed for a first timer and a standard car. Couldnt believe it when i got a 13.8 then a 13.7.

I reckon youll get 13.5 after a couple of runs. If you get that time i wont come whoop you in the cossie :D

BlackScoobyWRX 25 October 2003 09:46 PM

16vmarc - have you got intercooler waterspray? If you haven't you'll get 'heatsoak' from waiting to do your runs !!
Didn't stop me getting a 13.4 at Pod a couple of weeks back tho -must get one fitted for next year (along with everything else!!)

I'm taking my Ka for a laugh, so if you want a guaranteed "win" then line up along side:)

BlackScoobyWRX 26 October 2003 12:18 AM

I don't do it for the "win" m8 I do it to beat my own best time -
but good on yer for taking part - its the taking part that matters as they say ;)
