No, they may bump the price up :laugh:

Nah, i was there around that time last year and it was empty, i think i managed 3 runs on the trot with no queuing up..
I did melt a sef of ps2s though. :evilgrin:
Looking forward to it

Do you know whether the RAC can reach there okay? Just in case I completely obliterate my clutch?

Am delivering my daughter to Nottingham Uni that weekend but we haven't decided which day yet, so attending the Pod is a possibility.

Bring her to the Pod! :evilgrin:

But I might post a recent pic of her in Paris just for you young single dudes :evilgrin:
Am gonna deliver her to Nottingham Uni on the Saturday and stay overnight in the Pod area (Any good suggestions where? Anyone else doing the same? Anyone else in the neighbourhood got floorspace for my sleeping bag and mat?)
Do we have a 'stand' or is it only the public carpark outside?
-
^^^no RR. It is essentially just a RWYB day, so club stands or anything. Either park the car or race it down the strip. It's gonna be a MK5 invasion! SP won't know what hit'em! :grin:

Thx stealth :happy2:
So.. We gonna manage to park up all together then, yes?
I can make sure I'm there early doors and bag space if poss.

I think some one should contact SP to enquire if we can all park up together in main bit rather than the grassy car park.

no reputation to uphold, so unless I get new engine mounts its a no go.
even then I reckon my clutch is only just holding on , one big standing start and its toast :signLOL:
i will try and come along though :happy2:

its funny John, before inters my clutch had slipped several times, so I'd bought the flywheel and clutch in preperation. Did a few runs on the std clutch and it was ok, over cooked it on the start on the 4th run and it slipped all the way up the strip in every gear and really did stink. Thought it was game over, but i let it cool down and it didn't slip again for another 3 runs and didn't slip on the road either afterwards. Don't know if the slipping burnt some contaminates from the plate/flywheel or not but it was ok, changed it because I'd got all the bits anyway :happy2:

Just got back from holidays!!! this looks like its gonna be a good turnout!!! :party: :party: :party:
-
Do you have to go down the strip? Or can you just watch? I dont fancy walking from Northamptonshire to North Northumberland!
-
You can just go to watch, just need to pay the standard entrance fee (£10 IIRC) :happy2:
To run on the strip it's a further £25 for unlimited runs.
-
Steve,
you had a chat with Santa Pod about us parking up in main bit?
Friend at work is back from hols tomorrow and she knows the main man at SP, so if you've not asked i might ask her to ask him to do us a favour like. :wink:
Another forum i know is thinking of using that date for end of season meet too and they have over 30 names down so far.

Cheers , I wouldnt want to go on track (not in my car anyway! :wink:) That being the case , could I still park up with the rest of the forum cars? (even though mine will probably be the worst looking car there!)

....I'm hoping to go and I expect mine will be the dirtiest car there. Also, I'm not planning to go up the strip - Not everyone will and it's not compulsory.

Can't really not go when saw how many others were on the thread, and missed out on the Cosford meet this morning due to work,
Think this could make a good few pictures to advertise the forum/have as a new welcome picture?!

I'll bring my 5d2 but would be nice if there were some other people to volunteer on filming duties (as I want some shots of my car in the video as well!)
Already have some music lined up... :D

If so, I reckon we should group the car brands accordingly rather than mix them all up.

Id come down but i always find santa pod very muddy and dirty
In my experience of the RWYB days you don't even go near the fields!
-
Spec, pics, age etc? I had a CTR when they first came out and had it 3 years (100,000 miles too :wink:). Great motor and would still love another go in one to bring back the memories. Plus they are by no mean slow, even by today's Hot Hatch standards (ok may feel slow compared to your Stage 2+ Golf :grin:), but I ran a 14.5 in mine and that was totally stock!!!
-

They'll be no mud and dirt at a RWYB day mate. They only open the fields for big shows when there is camping etc.

I think the Fiesta has gained 60hp since the video :driver:
Having said that it would be pretty close though. Very Tortoise and Hare.

The Fiesta would be the quicker car once up and running, no doubt. But it wouldn't be catching a well driven mapped TTRS by the end of the 1/4 mile strip IMO

....Saturday evening would be good as I would be leaving home for the Pod at 5:00am. Post it here, yes?

Will do :-)
tbh Santa pod has it's own micro climate. I've spent most of my wkends making pizzas on
my mates trailer during the summer. A rare place indeed!
-
Well come and make some pizzas for us! A forum picnic at the 'pod! :party:
-
I'll see if he is up there this wkend! Trust me it's the freshest food up there :party:
-
Any update on the west mids/B'ham convoy? What time to meet... McDonalds, Shirley or M6...?
Stealthwolf, Singh123, Big Al, Greeners etc??
-
I was gonna make a thread about this (given the southerners have their own thread, I can't see why we can't!).
I think we suggested meeting around 0730-0745 so we can reach the gates by 0900. What does everyone think?
Meeting point would be at the MaccyDs on the corner of the A34/M42.
Any suggestions/recommendations?
We could always meet elsewhere depending on others' preferences.
-
I just did a routeplan from mine and its pretty much straight along the M6 and onto the M1.
How about meet at Corley Services, between Junction 3 and 4 of the M6, Postcode CV7 8NR at 8am on Sunday?
I am probably meeting Singh123 from mine as he is literally around the corner, so if that's convenient for the others?
Yay or Nay?
-
Only a 20 min drive or so from me, so could easily be done. Depends on what the others are doing.

the quickest fwd cars depending on tranny do 12.6 to 12.9 quarter miles. Term speeds upwards of 115mph are not rare. LSD doesnt seem to make much of a difference in a straight line.

Cool me and my mate have been looking at that,could be prettty close,he has a best of 12.3,but if that fiesta was 4wheel drive I think it would smash him and a lot of other things,900kg 471 bhp ,I think even a veyron could be in trouble lol,once the fiesta stops wheelspinning it properly starts to shift

Nogaro Audi S4 MRC Stage 3 503 BHP 630 NM
Out of interest what sort of time do you think my mates black gti should run ,he has only run it a couple of times and has a best of 15.1,I think he could do a lot better,that's why I was thinking you guys might have a LSD.

Will be the first time I have run this s4 at the pod,hoping to join the 11 sec club,the car has a best time of 11.7,but not at santa pod,and I have struggled with other cars there in the past,so will have to wait and see.Trying to get my water/meth injection working before the weekend,should give me another 15-20 ponys which will be helpful

Seems quite a high figure for a Stage 2 GTI (not run at JKM then :signLOL:) but will be interesting to see how he gets on. Stage 2 GTI's normally run low 14's and I think could do a 13 sec run with a good driver and DSG.
Be interesting to see what terminal speeds your mates R32 runs :party: With 4WD and 440bhp there's not much chance of any of us lot beating him in a hurry as he'll be gone off the line. But will definately be having a butchers at his terminals :wink:
As for the S4 :surprised: I'll be making sure i'm not paired off with that at the start line :scared:

Ok ill be there with or without Rich, I think he'll come though :wink:.
So best get stripping some weight out to keep up with your fancy pants dsg :P

Ain't gonna be much of a meet if everyone arrives and leaves at different times and there's only ever three or four people there.

I got mine clean this afternoon in between halestorms and showers, only issue is the 100 mile drive to the pod the roads will still be sopping so I probably shouldnt have bothered! Stealth your just be glad you didnt look like a lunatic cleaning your car in the rain! :stupid:
-
Stealth your just be glad you didnt look like a lunatic cleaning your car in the rain! :stupid:
I've done it once before, but the car used to be parked out of sight rather than on a main road as it is now. Hence trying to wash it now is a bit counterproductive, given the roadsplashes at the moment. Also, the last time I did this, I caught a cold. Not good!
Maybe I should buy some road cones and block the road off. :signLOL:
-
People can be so inconsiderate at times, feel for you having to keep a clean car thats parked road-side. you'd think people would be considerate and slow right down as they passed to reduce the splash back :rolleye:
-
People can be so inconsiderate at times
Which is why, these days, if I scrub the car, I have to get up at 5am and can be done by 10am - before all the sunday morning traffic starts up. Problem is, as I get older, I find it more difficult to stay awake at 5am! :scared:

Serious question - are there plenty of bogs near to where you are all 'assembling'?
And what time are you all getting there?
-
If I bring a spade, we could dig our own bog trenches! :grin:
Around 9-10am arrival. But some may be arriving after 11am.
I've made adjustments to the Revo settings (B7T5F9) but haven't had a chance to test it out properly (too much traffic earlier on). So hopefully will be able to trial it properly tomorrow.

Yup. Missed it during the week so downloaded it and watched it on the PS3 at 0100 today. Very good episode but could have been better.

Reckon I'll be there for half-ten.

Stealth - did you get your clutch bled? If not, I can bring my bleed kit & fluid and do it for you in the car park (if I make it). I think the bleed nipple is 9mm - if anyone can check that - it'd be a help.
-
Aiming to be there between 9-9:30 :happy2:
Then we need to set off earlier!
-
Stealth - did you get your clutch bled?
No - I was planning on doing it with the 3rd service on T&D in two months' time. Can it not be done as part of the brake fluid change? If not, I'm very happy for you to have a bash at it! :happy2:
-
cant blooody wait now, not bothered cleaning the car for a few days, no point, ive got to drive about 200 miles there anyways!! :rolleye:
-
Just a reminder: try and bring cameras/video cameras and make sure they're charged.
I would really love our own version of this:
-

No - I was planning on doing it with the 3rd service on T&D in two months' time. Can it not be done as part of the brake fluid change? If not, I'm very happy for you to have a bash at it! :happy2:
Routine clutch fluid change isn't part of the service, nor the brake fluid change. The stealer would probably only do it if you lined their pockets with an extra £30 or so.
-
I think as we discussed, I was going to get them to change the brake fluid too - on the phone, they'd offered it as an extra at the time of the 2nd year T&D servicing but when I took the car in, I was told I didn't need it and they cancelled it! Otherwise it would have been done.
Cash isn't the problem. Getting the job adequately done is. Just figured it'd be easier to get it done all at the same time (service + brake fluid + clutch). Like I said, I'm happy for you to do it too.
One request: could you bring some of that grease to put on the engine cover mounts? The thing's a pig to remove.

Weather has been intermittent here near santa pod.
Sunny intervals with the odd bit of rain.
Forecast looks promising for tomorrow, sunny all day.
Which is good

Well, I am suffering from Man-Flu or some sort of virus, but hopefully I will be up for it in the morning. Trouble is, when you are ill, its always the mornings when you feel the worst. :sick: :sick: :sick:
If I come or not, we all need to make the effort to get some group photo's of all the cars together. Should be a good gathering. :happy2:

Definately up for it. But I don't know what the parking is like. Have asked previously in the thread but not had a response off anyone.
And hoping that even though we may get there at different times can we all park together or move the cars to be one big group?!

Heavy rain in the night but sunny now in the SouthWest. Decided not to go as I need to be doing some things later. Drive 4hrs, stay 2hrs and drive back 4hrs isn't worth it.
-
Well, I'm hoping for some great times from the guys who've gone to the Pod today. The weather was cool and crisp this morning and the sunshine was trying to come out too. That means the intake temps should be spot on and the heat from the sun should make the track a little stickier. Reminds me of the day when JonnyC made his 12.6 :happy2:
-
I'm sat in the queue as I'm writing this . Some good times so far. A stage 2 plus Cupra has done a 13.3 at 108mph, a mk1 lcr done a 13.9 which is meant to be extremely good for those cars apparently.
I've done a 12.8 on my first run with a stock car. Epc light came one last night then got the engine light this morning. Vag com can't get rid of the check sum error which basically means there is a programming error in the ecu and I'm only getting stock performance as a result which is annoying but atleast I know what a stock car can do.
Trip back to AMD for me which is just a unnecessary hassle buyt oh well
-
Knew there was an excuse coming! Was saying to Ben your terminal of 110mph was same as his 13.1 first run.
Very busy today lots of stoppages and strip only started running at midday. Not too many from forum are running as a result.
Good to meet up wiv usual peep and good turnout too! Not quite the 50 cars as listed tho.
-
Yeah today isn't a good day for actually doing some runs. Ye I looked at my slip and was like hold up that's a stock time, and then it clicked in my head cause the same thing happened to my mate save with his Sportec mapped car, he was getting check sum errors and our stage 2 plus cupras where quicker than his care even though he was supposedly mapped.
Would love to come back next weekend to do some more runs with te map sorted but am working sadly. Looks like I will have to wait till next year unless there are other strips in the country that are still open in November.
-
I'm going to kick my VW dealer square in the nuts!!! :fighting:
-
what for????
-
Will rant about it tomorrow or day after.
Anywayz, I want to say thanks to the Midlands convoy for turning up on time and not getting lost.
Also was nice to meet you - some I've met before, some for the first time. Would have been good if there'd been more space so we could have done some decent footage. And thanks to cmdrfire for taking pics.
Singh123 - was great to try the sachs+dmf combo. Very heavy but otherwise smooth.
T_T: thanks for your help today. Will detail the ride home in another thread later.
Moschops: will need to PM you. Thanks for the stuff though.

:happy2:

Stealth no probs at all, how was the clutch on the way home?
-
Well i've just got in myself and i'm shattered.. Had to leave about half 3 as my mate had to get back for a meal. I did try and say my goodbyes to those who I could find (sorry Carlo :ashamed:).
As for the day, well, er, typical Santa Pod shambolic organisation again :confused: :fighting: Got there at 9:30 and straight in the queue.. Track opened around lunch time and managed a massive total of 3 runs (1 of which was a total balls up :ashamed:).
The start line was a joke, never known it to be as bad as that for traction and as a result my best 60ft time was a quite shocking 2.52 :ashamed: :chicken: :sick: (ran a 2.2 on my previous 13.1 @ 109mph).. :confused:

So a nice improvement on my terminal speed (previously 109mph) and definately a 12 sec run in there when I get a normal 60ft time again. Just wish I could of got chance to have a couple more runs, but at nearly 2 hours between runs, that clearly wasn't happening.. :fighting:
Would of also been nice to have a chat with the rest of you guys too, instead of fecking queueing all day.. :sad1:
-
Great to meet people today, good to see some of the cars going up the strip and sat in the car park. Was amazing the amount of broken Fiats on the side of the road or tow trucks just outside the track lucky how they made it back to public roads before exploding! :grin:
-
I'm going to kick my VW dealer square in the nuts!!! :fighting:
Did you get home OK?
-
Just got in, good to meet everyone but thats about all that went well. 2 runs all day first ever run was 14.0@111mph and the next was a right balls up, no grip at all.
To say its supposed to be some kind of sticky drag strip i could have done alot better on the road.
60ft time on the first run was 2.67 and only launched at around 1800rpms :confused: The right lane seemed better for grip, well thats my excuse anyways :grin:
-
its no real surprise. It is end of October! Took them 3 hours to dry and prep.
then the Fix It Again Tomorrow cars broke and dropped liquid, as did the white R5 GTT, as did a Corsa, and maybe some other cars.
But there were plenty of stoppages to make the £25 ticket not very VFM! But that's how RWYB are these days. Lots of old cars turning up and blowing up.

Was a bit of a let down for me personally, 3 hour drive down to find that they didnt open the strip till 12! :surprised: then signed on and went to the back of the que, qued up for 15 mins and didnt move an inch, then said, FCUK THIS! went back to the hut and got my money back!! :drinking: :sad1: :sad1: santa pod organise'rs need shooting! and what the hell was the deal with letting bikers on all at once to hold the que up even more!! :stupid: every time ive been before, its been a 5 min wait!! :confused:
was great to catch up with everyone though :laugh: oh and i saw 2 fiats broken at the side of the motorway! :grin:
-
I had a wiked day! Met J/poverty at south mims and had a spirited drive to the pod!!
Cued for ages and lost my virginity! Only done 1 run and got 14second flat! Terminal was 100mph.. Can't wait to have it revoed and do some more runs!! Nice to meet you all and good turn out!
Ash.
Ash, I was very guilty at having a few pervs at your motor mate. Stunning! :happy2:

The drive down with Ash was probably one of the highlights of the day for me.
Was hoping to catch up with you ben and rob aswell, saw your ed30 parked up a few times but never actually found you.
Bring on next season, :pomppomp:
-
I'm pretty sure we walked past each other outside the bogs mate. But I wasn't 100% it was you (it was) and didn't want to make a tit out of myself.. :ashamed: :grin:
Then saw you as we were pulling off and gave you a wave but couldn't stop as my mate was already running late.. :sad1:
Next time mate.. :wink:
-
didn't run myself today couldn't be arsed waiting 2 hours :indifferent:
was good to meet up with the old faces and a few new uns :happy2:
3 hour drive to get cold feet :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Awful day really...! Average queue time of 2 hours for 1 run up a strip that was in poor condition. The start-line grip levels were appauling! There was oil/debris all over the strip on my run. Half-way down i must have hit some oil or something as the car started squirming for no apparent reason at all.
Good to see some familiar faces, a bit gutted that i didn't see more of you all though :sad1:
-
Did you get home OK?
Yeah kinda. Gonna post a thread about it soon. Didn't have to call the RAC or anything. Absolutely knackered and long shift at work tomorrow means I was in bed by 1830 and now that I've eaten, going back to bed now.
Even the scenic detour through Northampton town centre!! :laugh:
Yeah what the hell was that about? Completely forgot to ask about this. I bypassed the town on the return home and got back about twenty mins earlier :laugh:
-
Yeh pov im sure i saw you a couple of times but wasnt 100% :ashamed: I was talking with Ash and singh123 towards the end but like most spent loads of time in the never ending que :sad1:
Next season though :drinking:
-
No worries Chris I did see you a couple of times fella but never once out of your spanking new motor and never without that huge grin on your face!!

Cheers all for a great day. Sorry that I didn't get a chance to talk to many people, more for the fact that I wasn't sure who anyone was, think we need some stickers for the next one. :laugh:
Glad some of you got to run, Was my first time at a track like this and have to say that it is great to watch, must be even better to take part.
And finally thanks for all being so friendly and not minding the wife wandering around with her camera stuck to her face.
If you have a look in the photography section she has put up a thread of some of the best ones.
(Moschops, thanks for the t shirt and rabbit, got a couple of nice shots of your motor on the convoy down, but the plate won't blank out, if you want them, drop me your e mail address and I will shoot it over to you)

about half an hour, went up the M1 myself had a good run was home 5.15 :wink:

At least the rainy weather stayed away. Pity to hear about the shambolic organisation again. Maybe a York meet maybe better next time. Grip up there seems to be decent enough and it usually doesn't take too long to get a run.

Had a very enjoyable day and good to see both new and old faces and have a giggle too! :happy2:

Ahhh I completely missed ya, apart from when you guys where all heading off. At one point I was thinking that maybe you didnt make it, but like you say we were spending most of our time lining up for runs.

I think I saw you twice at the beginning but also wasnt too sure! Recognise the car just didnt know the face that it belonged to!
Next season for sure, hoping to make alot more shows and events next year

Would defo be up for a York meet John. Haven't been up there for years and use to go a fair bit in my old CTR. Although organistation there wasn't much better from what I remember (far to much time spent on running bloody hot rods etc :fighting:), BUT (and it's a big BUT) you don't have to queue with your car like you do at Pod, giving you time to watch the strip and mingle with the lads.. :wink:
-
I'd be up for a York meet too :happy2:
Was very dissapointed not to run yesterday :sad1:
-
had a good day part from the wait in the que 2get down the strip :( lol but did run a 13.7 105mph was really slippy

What time did you post chris?
Haha...my time was rather irrelevant...I took it pretty easy and just did it for fun. I merely got it rolling in first and then shifted into second, thought it would be ok to give it the beans as my power delivery is pretty linear but the car was still trying to spin up in second so i had to ease off. Then towards the top of second gear the car was squirming from what i can only assume was some oil or something on the track! Changed early into third and just kept going.
15.something and 99mph terminal......
-
Disappointing is a real understatement. :booty: :booty: :booty:
I hardly met anyone yesterday. The organisation and the track was terrible. :confused:
Got there at 9.45am and joined the queue. Finally got to the start line, and being a total newb to the dragstrip I didn't know how the starting lights worked at all. :ashamed:
When I eventually set off, the wheels just spun, and spun. :ashamed: The fact that I had Brand new tyres on the car probably didn't help either. (they literally had done 30miles before I set off to the pod).
I managed a 14.8 @ 105.9mph and a 14.3 @106.9mph (with a passenger) :wink: (didn't get chance OR have enough time to have any more runs with just me in the car).
The fella in that gorgeous Noble, managed a 16.9, and that monster Firebird, did a 27.7 :stupid:
Like I said, the main thing that Pi$$ed me off, was the fact, I didn't get to meet everyone. After all the waiting for the strip to open and my first run, I just pressumed that the queue would go quite quickly. How wrong can you be.
I never really saw the attraction to going down the strip in a straight line for a few seconds, and after my first Pod experience I doubt I will do it again. :indifferent:
I'd rather go round a track. :happy2

I think I would have had a quicker run if I'd have stayed in the wheelchair :signLOL:
No grip for 1/8 mile then I just gave up :ashamed:
My car was parked near the Left lane past the grandstand and was covered in a film of oil, I think the track was f###ed Vettel style.

Just been catching up on your day, seems the track was in a poor state and the que,s were too long. Glad i did n,t come now. Must be really disappointing for everyone concerned as it took a lot of organising. Thinking York will be my first 1/4 mile run next summer as its only 60miles from me.
Sunglasses Ron + RobH what times did you get?
-
you know that no one got good times, when they arent posted or discussed on here :grin:

I plan on going to york a few times next year its just over an hour for me. Practise makes perfect and i defo need the practise :rolleye:

:confused: See page 23 of this thread mate..
Well i've just got in myself and i'm shattered.. Had to leave about half 3 as my mate had to get back for a meal. I did try and say my goodbyes to those who I could find (sorry Carlo :ashamed:).
As for the day, well, er, typical Santa Pod shambolic organisation again :confused: :fighting: Got there at 9:30 and straight in the queue.. Track opened around lunch time and managed a massive total of 3 runs (1 of which was a total balls up :ashamed:).
The start line was a joke, never known it to be as bad as that for traction and as a result my best 60ft time was a quite shocking 2.52 :ashamed: :chicken: :sick: (ran a 2.2 on my previous 13.1 @ 109mph).. :confused:

So a nice improvement on my terminal speed (previously 109mph) and definately a 12 sec run in there when I get a normal 60ft time again. Just wish I could of got chance to have a couple more runs, but at nearly 2 hours between runs, that clearly wasn't happening.. :fighting:
Would of also been nice to have a chat with the rest of you guys too, instead of fecking queueing all day.. :sad1:

Alex did a 13.7, think he had a 105mph term speed.
Have also found out what happened to my remap, or should we say lack of it. Basically my car has one of the newer anti tune ecu's. I had a AMD map loaded to it, and after a while the ecu somehow can work out that its been tampered with, and then throws a engine and epc light, with a checksum error when you scan the car. The only way to then get rid of the checksum error is to reflash stock software, or for the tuner to have a map with a code that has cracked or bypassed the anti tune features.
Car is going back to AmD wednesday to hopefully get its oomph back :driver:
you know that no one got good times, when they arent posted or discussed on here :grin:
I think bens done some respectable times! 12.88 from a stock TTRS on my first ever run in it with a passenger is pretty good aswell. If I got a perfect slingshot launch I reckon the RS would do 12.6s easy if not a 12.5.

^^what do u think it will do when mapped again??11.9?
-
^^what do u think it will do when mapped again??11.9?
Well considering that a stage 2 plus fwd car can match my time stock and have a much higher terminal, and knowing that with a map the RS will be a car length infront of a stage 2 plus car from a rolling start at 30mph in 3rd (rs would be in 2nd) once the k04 has to change gear, id say a 11.9 to 12 would be a realistic aim.
Jonny with lightned alloys, sticky tyres, and no cat has done a 11.6 with a stage 2 map.

Yeah I will at some stage, might have to stay with 19s though if I decide to fit the rs6 v10 brake kit though.

in reality those 19s look the absolute nuts on your car porverty to don't bin them on a permanent basis :happy2:
you can get prorace 1.3s in 19s though :)
