TOTB9

 

It's that time again... time to get our team entry together for this - who's up for it?

 

Would like to see a strong team representing the Supras this year so please add your name to the list below if you'd like to compete and your PROVEN drag times so far. There's also the handling and top speed elements to consider so top speed heroes and track ready stripped type Supra's will also be considered on merit:

 

1. [10's] Dude (T74, 6-Sp, Built Motor)

2. [10's] Steve Sherwood (GTK1000, 6-Sp, Built Motor)

3. [??] M5W TT (Track stripped, T67, 6-Sp, Built Motor)

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

 

Put yourself on the above list based on your time from fastest at the top to slowest at the bottom or if you want to be considered as a top speed or circuit specialist then put your name at the bottom with [TOP SPEED] or [CIRCUIT] in front of it. Also could you include some basic spec info and power level in your entry line. Example entry lines showing formatting:

 

1. [9.87] The Roadrunner (T71, BL trans, PI 4K Stall)

2. [CIRCUIT] The Stig (Stripped, caged, full underbody aero, TRD diff, Ohlins Coilovers)

3.

 

You get the idea. See www.totb.co.uk for full info.

 

I've stickied this thread to keep it at the top and we'll devise a final team entry shortly before the final closing date for entries at the start of July, based on the above list.

 

CLOSING DATE for all entries is 3rd July 2010. Entry form attached to this post.

 

*** UPDATE 30/05/10 - Amended team list ***

*** UPDATE 23/06/10 - Amended team list ***

 

Cheers,

 

Brian.

ADVICE FOR OUR TEAM ENTRANTS:

 

You need to run decent fuel and decent tyres on the day at TOTB!!! Why? Because aside from the performance enhancing benefits race fuel helps protect against det and it's always bloody HOT on the day at TOTB which is the kinda weather when det is most likely to happen, and the surface is pretty crappy at Elvington so you need to run the best tyres you can on the surface. I'd like to see all our guys running drag radial type tyres or track specials like Toyo R888's (either has to be road legal) and some race fuel in your tanks. Places to get these items:

 

Race Fuel:

 

http://www.aaoil.co.uk/racing-Sunoco-GT-PLUS (109RON, 4.5% oxygenated - this is the easiest stuff to run as it's unleaded and still decent octane / oxygenation)

 

http://www.aaoil.co.uk/racing-Sunoco-MaxNOS (Highest octane of the Sunoco range at 119RON but leaded and not oxygenated)

 

Competition Tyres:

 

http://www.laracingparts.com/

http://laracingparts.com/acatalog/Mickey_Thompson_E_T__Street_Radial_Tires.html (275/40/17 will fit on UK spec rear rims, 255/50/16 should fit on J spec rear rims)

 

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=g-Force+T%2FA+Drag+Radial (You can get these from here via Dusty @ MVP, this model is new and basically is easier to use with less burnout being required to get them up to temp)

 

http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=BFGoodrich&tireModel=g-Force+T%2FA+Drag+Radial+2 (As above for ordering, these are the originals previously called 'Pro Comp T/A' and require a bit of heating up to hook up well)

 

Another supplier some members have used for both Tyres and Fuel is Webster Race Engineering:

 

http://www.webster-race-engineering.co.uk

[email protected]

01933 315236

 

Their website isn't up to much so best emailing or phoning them.

 

Hope this helps guys.... get ordering :)

Yeah we certainly have - we could really clean up on the Top Speed event and accumulate a lot of team points as a result if we get a certain few members ;) who 0wned that recent top speed event...

 

M5W - thanks for the entry :thumbs: I'm more interested in members that are really going to commit to the event than anything as I'm fed up with drop outs near the entry date in previous years so if you're serious there's a spot with your name on it.

This club always does terrible at TOTB, unlike most big other clubs few seem to show much interest :( Dude was about the only one that ever got anywhere in it!

 

Shame really as we really should do quite well at the drag and top speed events.

It's not that our cars are slow, far from it, it's just than very few actually go there in the first place hence our poor results as a club. Good on you for giving it a go, top speed is one where this club really should do well.

Totally agree and from years of going to TOTB its not all about power either! Driver skill plays a huge part!

 

I finally have a motor that might be competitive is just I have no skill and its not a Supra :innocent::taped:

 

Put me down, I wouldnt miss this for the world.

 

Though you might! Yours will do well!
