JamieP Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Numbers are not looking to good, mods have said it may never happen again if things dont pick up. It would be such a shame to lose Suprapod, its the best Supra meet of the year imo. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?267086-Suprapod-2012-7th-July-at-Santa-Pod Whats with the low numbers at events now? We dont even have a Japshow club stand anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

probrox Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 It would definately be a shame to lose it, Its the only event I would not miss. Unfortunately can't afford to drag this year with a little on on the way, but i'm in for the drifting again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows normaly involve just parking up and looking at other cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeG Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Would be a shame to lose it, i had so much craic last year when we went over meeting all the scots for the drive down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colin-mkiv Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Its the rising costs of fuel, insurance etc that cause this imho. People just cant afford luxuries anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Such a shame to see this go, fingers crossed numbers pick up. This is the first one I'm going to miss since owning the supra, due to work... I'm gutted, despite the questionable weather the past few years, it has always been great and a credit to the club and members that make such.

probrox Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Its the rising costs of fuel, insurance etc that cause this imho. People just cant afford luxuries anymore It certainly makes things more difficult, when I first got the Supra I attended alot more events than I do now. With the cost of petrol now it just costs too much to get to alot of events. I've already filled the Supra up for Suprapod using my 12p off fuel voucher from morrisons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 12, 2012 Author Share Posted June 12, 2012 Its the rising costs of fuel, insurance etc that cause this imho. People just cant afford luxuries anymore Other clubs seem to manage these meets, cant be just mkiv owners that are skint can it? Maybe its a sign of these cars getting old, the club scene is a huge part of why i have stayed with Supras so long, if thats not going to be there anymore maybe its time to move on, I cant see R35 owners complaining about fuel costs.

SupraStar 3000 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Real shame. I feel guilty too as I've done very little to support our club,... but Colin is right. Cost of tax, fuel service and insurance has killed any social activities for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 agree with all of this, if i'm doing a 1000 mile round trip from Aberdeen then those closer have no excuse!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 (edited) i think it would be such a shame to loose it, where is everyone, even the regulars are missing mods and all? has everyone sold up and and got run abouts if so bring them !! come on people there is even talks of push bikes being raced, the supra is a old car now and is well in a chav budget it is a massive shame, and the quality of some new members reflect this Edited June 12, 2012 by mellonman (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great you guys are making the long trip, but to be honest i dont think spectators make a great deal of difference to what its costs the club, the club needs people to sign up to the drag racing to cover the costs, that way this event can go on for many years.
