5/11/06 Santa Pod last of the year

Post by tonigmr2 »

A few of us are hoping to run our cars prior to the winter shut down...likely to consist of (at the very least):

Me in the TRD car newly mapped with bigger map sensor and TC [-o<
Mikejc in his monster hoping to better an 11.9 on street tyres/fuel
Earl in his monster red nutter machine newly built
MR2Lover in his monster white TRD with bigger turbo

Should be quite a show. :mrgreen:

Plus invites to a few others - of all different types. We thought we'd make it a little mini-meet/social so if any one fancies it put your name down, monster or not, come and have a laugh at us fluffing up our launches, but more importantly having a good time (and hopefully improving our times :) ) It's £10 entry to the track, and £20 for unlimited runs so a good time to go (it'll also be a LOT quieter than show days).

It's also the Santa Pod flame and thunder show the night before if anybody likes fireworks and top fuel dragsters and the like!

I dont know really,
maybe we could challenge a club of comparative performance of the cars,maybe the SXOC?300ZXOC? something like that.
or we could mock the mx5 club (joking :-# :wink: :-$ )
How about inviting The GT4OC?Impreza OC or thereabouts (even)
Could be a good laugh,instigate a kind of battle/scoreboard.
