Anyone said to the other forums that we are keeping our seats etc in the cars?

If we are having a "Hothatch deathmatch" over the 1/4 then I highly doubt everyone else will keep their full kit in the car!

Are we keeping it casual or are we going to have a record of all the runs?

Should everyone register with Santa Pod for the Street challenge 2009? If you do you automatically get your best time posted on the Santa pod website along with a ranking.

Not a bad idea mate, but I think you'll struggle to get everyone on the same playing field in regards to spec and interior stripping.
I for one will be in road trim and may take them out later in the day if I can be arsed.. 
Will leave it a few weeks till we get confirmed names and then start to try and sort some sort of table etc and will ask the guys to register on the CC challenge.. 
Such a lot more to think about now we are going for a bit of competition

EDIT:- Just registered myself for the 2009 Street Challenge

[Hurdy]

I think I'll be putting my CC number up inside the rear window myself (6 A4 sheets with one big letter on each ) as the pens they use plays havoc with the plastic if it runs down onto the rear light clusters

....

Now that people have started to register interest, which 'team' are those who are on several of the forums in competition going to be loyal to?

For example, Nathan, if you are driving for this forum you shouldn't be listing yourself on the R32OC forum.

I didn't put my name down Robin, Ben must have?

[Sunglasses Ron]

Not me buddy... 

[RedRobin]

^^^^

I hope my tone wasn't 'spikey', Nathan - I just used your name as an example of the issue of which 'team' someone is on who is registered on more than one 'side'.

[Sunglasses Ron]

I'm on all the forums, but will be holding the Mk5GolfGTI flag high don't you boys worry!   

[luca]

me too mk5golfgti for me
