Is anybody arranging a day to Santa Pod this year?
Have always wanted to go (If finances permit at the time) sounds great fun and have something to prove with shadquattro!

WARNING! Some of the above may be my unbiased opinion, sarcasm, or just total bo****ks.
There will be probably half a dozen 1/4 mile meets arranged throughout the year between Santa Pod and Avon Park.
Its a bit early to start arranging tho just yet

Don't hold the car on the clutch at the start until it gives up the ghost! One of our number ran a 40 second 1/4 mile last year after a bit too long with the clutch at the biting point waiting for the off... and then I did the same thing myself at some traffic lights.
Late staging is good staging LOL

lol Yeah I've got lightning reflexes. So lightning I anticipated it going green slightly early.
The two times I got I waited until the light was green for a few secs and then I went.
Didn't matter as the time was taken from when I started moving (I hope).
The majority run what is called a Sportsman's Tree. This means you are only timed from when your wheels leave the line. Reaction time is not taken into account.

I believe that a less than .4 sec reaction time in drag racing is considered a foul start and you'd get a red light (on a competition tree at least).Originally Posted by t5tart
The lights are great for racing yer mates although I found that to get a good time it was better to let your opponent go and concentrate on your own run.
