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

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

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

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

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!!)
