MR2 drag strip day thanks

[Icsunonove]

And I want to make a complaint to the organisers! The slowest Mk1 NA and slowest Mk2 turbo both won wooden spoon prizes. Where's my wooden spoon prize for slowest Supercharger ?

Hello, fastest MK1 NA coupe here

xxxxxx gay how they run cars, bikes and proper dragsters all on the same day, we were saying they should have the bikes and dragsters on a different day and some guy in a skyline overheard us and said they should have a big cliff at the end for when they run, we rekon he was pi$$ed cos there the only things on the road he cant keep up with

THANKYOU

Thanks to everyone that came on sunday. What a fantastic turnout!
It was my first time at organising things, so sorry if there were any probs.

It was a real shame it was soooo BUSY. Loads of pod regulars said (my self included) that they had never seen it that busy before - even on a show day. so don't know why this was. unlucky really.

It was great to finally put faces to names, and get to chat to some of you - but felt like i was rushing round everywhere and not really getting change to have a good natter! (maybe see some of you at Donnington or Jap show at Pod)

I had to laugh when i got to take the wooden spoon for slowest MK1! and with such a large gap from the others too! i guess it must be all the extra weight of the orange paint then! lol

I will definately do this event again next year (Aug / Sept time), maybe at a different drag strip to give those who don't live close to pod a better deal next time. (and hopefully not too busy day either!)

Also - keep your eyes out for a MK1 club Stand at Rotorstock, Shakespeare County raceway drapstrip next spring for the same kind of thing.

I will try to sort out posting all the times etc. but have left all the paperwork at home! doh!

Thanks again all of you for coming

WOW! I've just checked attendance.

We had 33 MR2s and 6 others, making a total of 39!

There were 19 Mk1 NAs, 3 Mk1 Superchargers and 11 Mk2s.

=D> Well done Jo and the Mk1Club! =D>

PS I got a much better *start* than Simon, have a look:

....but my run was ruined by having to swerve around that fool with a mop!


And this other fool also put Jo off, by "goose stepping" down the track (a la John Cleese) and making her do an 18.75!

There were 19 Mk1 NAs, 3 Mk1 Superchargers and 11 Mk2 turbos.

is that those than ran down the strip or attended? because there were a few mk2 NA's there..........

[Icsunonove]

D'oh! I'm not too good on Mk2s yet! I thought they were all Turbos, I can't tell the difference . And this is attendees, not runners. I have no idea how many people actually had a run (Jo will confirm tomorrow). Here's the full attendee list:

but the van's a V reg, not Y

[michael]

Cheers Michael, that breaks into the 40's

It's Andy's van so he probably has a better idea of it's times but it's not slow - it would have beaten a fair few of the crappy efforts that were running on Sunday

It's stripped out from the factory, alloys, skirts, splitter.... in Max Power terms that's an extra 100bhp
