As there are no more public RWYB at Avon Park till October now - I was hoping to do the next round of the VPCUK drag championship at Santa Pod. Any interest? According to the site - http://www.rwyb.co.uk/dates.php - you can save a tenner by signing up in advance - at the online shop http://www.santapodshop.com/
With a national meet incorporated? Everyone get there Saturday night for BBQ's and tent erecting? :)
You can call it that if you like but I just wanna race! It is national as anyone can come.
Jyes please..

Possibly Dave, depends if my car is sorted by then. Only problem with Santapod is not being able to watch the other cars race as you are obstructed by the grand stand.
I realise this - & that is why I prefer Avon but there is nothing else till October, apart from TRAX
Renault World Series that weekend for me. I've already arranged Camping.. You may ask why... It's FREE!!
Wow, Santapod was the first track i ever went too in my first T5, i didn't run just watched. Gary.

Can't do this one guys on my hols or well this will give some one else chance to win the trophies lol
i wouldnt mind coming if thats alright id like to see what mine does before i change anything :)
Sorry Dave i doubt i can make this one, don't think i can go to another 1/4 mile without my car and racing it's just too painful lol, it should be on the road by next week but will need to put a 1000 "running in" miles on it before mapping and this is one thing i dare not rush.

I wont be running, I have a fair amount of work to do to the car and im not keen on Santapod. Ill see you all at Avon again though on the 1st of October ;)
It's not my favourite but I am keen to get my times down. I may not be available for October.

I got to get this barge into the low 14s, even if it blows up i will get it lol.. the potential is there, just something not jelling it all together. Gary.
Well I am eager to try out some small changes (to be revealed) to see if I can get the time down. I have the traction but just need a quick bottom 1/8th mile. My 60ft's at Avon despite the heat were around 2.5 seconds - I even had a 2.4 I am determined to show that the ME7 can be competitive

[quote=t5frankie;398841]avon park is the best but i aint waiting till bloody october (wintertime) to race again[/quote] Yes i agree Frankie, i need another 1/4 mile now lol. Pod should be good though it will suit you well :P

Project stealth is still not quite ready but hopefully she will be ready by the end of this week for a gentle run. So count me in unless I say otherwise :)
i cannot make this 1 because im away with kids and misses that weekend but i will be doing some test and tuning before october somewhere so i can drop my 13.9 down alot further ready for avon and its the 2nd sunday october not the 1st.
