Great day guys, really good to meet loads of new faces, pleased with Phylis's performance, raced 2 stage 2+ Ed30's (1 manual and 1 dsg)and lost down the quarter miles by only .1 of a second. Not bad for Mr Standard

.
Seemed the lower the torque gave a better pickup from the start. Track surface very slippy :

V greenouse finished in 14.669 V GTiJames finished in 14.597
Reaction times 0.616 0.973
60ft 2.59 2.58
1/4 m 14.79secs 14.77secs
Mph 96.90mph 96.00 mph

Well chuffed, traction was king and critical to a decent run., dam cold though!!!! and one of my fav's from my cam.

The Stag race was called off due to heavy snow showers closed the Pod strip as we were both on the start line!!!

How the Fook does that VTec fella get down there so fast it's unbelievable

Run after run he started perfect.

StevePG needs new oil in his DSG he went down the strip that many times.

JPC knows how to get his soot chucker off the line it would be interesting seeing him in a ED 30.

And mr wheelmans times were amazing for a standard GTI.

I also saw Billy boy and John_O get beat by a man walking his dog.

hope your car gets sorted Billy

All in all a great day shame about the weather it was fooking freezing.

Really good to meet you all, some for the first time, and others again.

Had a great day! Wish I'd stayed at the Pod longer, as it brightened up after that first batch of mild snow!

I think I'm addicted to the drag strip now though, what a rush when you're at that start line waiting for the lights to change!

Shame about the traction problems today, think the tarmac was just too cold, and that red diesel stuff that the marshalls were laying down to allow for burnouts just wasn't evaporating - thereby making the first 60ft pretty slippery!

My best time was as follows:

Reaction time 0.5742
60ft 2.7523
1/4 m 15.1857secs
Mph 99.78mph

My excuses: exhaust was too low therefore giving me more drag, poor traction off the line, my wonky numberplate was messing up the aerodynamics......

Chris.

Hey all..

Good day today! You all left a bit early though!..

Sorry I didn't get a chance to meet all you guys, but I did get a chance to watch almost all of the cars run which was cool!

I had 4 runs over the course of the day, had a few problems with the DSG not allowing me to engage the launch control after the burnout, the dash was lit up like a Christmas tree lol..

Anyways, 3 out of my 4 runs I had a 2.32 / 2.38 / 2.37 60ft time with the launch control..

Bloody typical but my best time of the day I had to set off without the launch control, and the results were as follows..

60ft 2.50
1/8 mile 8.72 @ 92.45 mph
1/4 mile 12.98 @ 118.60 mph

Pretty pleased with the results, especially the 1/4 mile trap speed..

As far as I know this could be the fastest time recorded for a UK MK5 GTI? I may be wrong though..

Anyways, mega day (shame about the weather) but we should definitely do it again soon!! Next time, 100kg+ out of the car and another 100bhp I think!

Jonny

Another 100 hp, can you get me one of them?

Nice to meet you jonny.

It was good watching you against Ben. on the 3 runs i saw of yours it looked like your best start. Both of your cars nailed the start and you looked to be just in front by the 60 foot and then easily pulled away there after.

PS i could not believe how your car compared to the black S3 hardly anything in it from start to finish.

God i'm knackered!!!

And I reckon i've got frost bite in places I really wouldn't liike it too..

Anyway, great day chaps and good to see such a big turn out especially on the strip, it's addictive isn't it?

Makes for a lot better day when the weather is a the right side of freezing though..
There was some really nnice motors there today (especially the vags obviously

) and some seriously quick ones too..
No improvement on my PB time, but did improve somewhat on my terminal speed and finished off with a best of..
60ft - 2.4113
330ft - 5.9923
1/8 ET - 8.8150
1/8 MPH - 88.14
1/4 ET - 13.2099
1/4 MPH - 111.05
I even resulted in chucking the back seats out in the afternoon and somehow managed to run slower

Hats off to JC though for a the best of the day, but I will let him post his results..

Anyway, nice to see all you boys again and sorry missed you ya when you all naffed off to the pub for some food but I had just sank a foot long hotdog, so wasnt really that peckish..
