tooquicktostop Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I have emailed Santapod and asked what they have available for approx 10 cars who want to test before an event. Javelin have a couple of trackdays between now and TOTB at elvington but I think its circuit only, no mention of drag racing. Would be great news of we could get this arranged Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 SantaPod basically said we could goto RWYB days or book the track, that would be pricey unless we did a full on suprapod day like last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted March 6, 2008 Author Share Posted March 6, 2008 Update from Chris Mann: --- Subject: Redline TOTB7 in association with Millers Oils- Entries now accepted Redline TOTB 7 in association with Millers Oils- Sun 27th July 2008 To all - update on this years event: We are now accepting entries for this years event. Please find attached the entry form, which is also downloadable from the totb website http://totb.co.uk/compete/apply-now.asp Closing date for entries is 3rd July please for all teams and individuals. As usual we will refund/swap upto the 9th July if anyone drops out, after that date however the lists are closed. Email us with any queries to [email protected] Advance price spectator tickets are now on sale at the usual price of £15 plus p+p. http://shop.totb.co.uk/products.asp Tickets will only be sent out early in July. Club group buys are available again based on a min order of 10+ tickets to one club address. Event specifics for competitors/team reps 1. Top speed distance- this has now been set at 1km standing speed trap, after the recent noise case was settled at Elvington. The very top end of the runway we use is to be kept as quiet as possible, and a 1km speed trap was already a proposal in the pipeline anyway, which we have now been instructed to use. At this distance however we still expect cars to approach 180+mph top speeds or more. The results clock can also be hard wired now back to the main control which will help in results being up to date without a half hr wait for them to be brought back from the top speed trap. 2. Handling circuit timing- after discussion and general feedback it seems the proposal to drop the untimed sighting lap for every car and just run 5 maximum timed laps per car is acceptable to all. The new timing clocks will allow two cars on track as described at safe intervals. Competitors may walk the course on the Sunday morning prior to event start if they wish, once they have signed on and got a wristband. 3. Drag Shootout finals- again the feedback has been good on the proposal to delete the fwd vs. rwd drag final and the 2wd vs. 4wd final, to ensure the day finishes within a reasonable time and is relevant. We will be keeping the usual class based drag finals run off in the following order: - FWD, RWD, 4WD, then finally Pro-Drag. The top 4 cars in each class qualify as in previous years. Competitors who win their own class drag final will then pick up a bonus point toward the overall scoring for the TOTB overall champion. (Pro-drag do not count points). 4. Handling shootout final- this will remain as previous, with a one point bonus for winning the shootout of the top 4 cars overall. Nothing further has been proposed by any team reps/clubs or changed by ourselves to affect the way the event is scored overall, and no major changes to regs/tyres were raised as issues, so in effect the major changes are as detailed above. as usual we would hope to keep in good contact with team reps during the next few months but bear in mind as ever the limited amount of places available (and the need for official reserves to have sent in a form/cheque to be kept by us incase of drop out). Any unused entries will not be cashed. Please pass on the entry form to relevant parties, and get back to us with any questions you may have. Bye for now TOTB Team --- I've attached the entry form to the 1st post in this thread as well as this one. Once I've got times from folks we can confirm our team and I'll need everyone confirmed as part of the team to fill out and send the form along with payment and marked on the form as being part of our Team MKIVSupra.NET entry. We have until 3rd July to have our entries in so I'd like to have our team finalised by the start of June - get those times in! 4 months to qualify... Any Events Organisers fancy taking on the ticket group buy? Just start a new thread and co-ordinate from there.

Gruggs Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 what tyres are everyone going for? Maybe a group buy in advance for the competitors? I'm looking at picking up a new set of tyres to get some times in and was wondering what people recommend and where to purchase. Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted March 9, 2008 Author Share Posted March 9, 2008 You want Mickey T street radials from http://www.laracingparts.com/ (NOT the wrinkle wall drag efforts!) or alternatively Toyo R888's. Those are the tyres that seem to hook up best on the crappy airfield surface at Elvington whilst being road legal to comply with the rules. I'd recommend everyone wanting to run as a drag type entry at TOTB gets themselves a set of decent tyres such as the above. Cheers, Brian.

Gruggs Posted March 9, 2008 Share Posted March 9, 2008 cheers mate. Could never remember which MT tyres were the right efforts for TOTB. Then up to crail during April to run some times. Cheers G Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 Right..... time for a wee update on this thread since it's been a while. The entry date is fast approaching and I did say we'd want to have our team together by the start of June.... so where's the times guys??? Andy - that's a piss poor excuse. You're just scared my stock twins time will embarrass you! As Mr Lane says.... get out there and use your cars in anger folks. Stop just polishing them and spraffing a bunch of crap about how fast you think they may be!!! Here's a big opportunity to be part of a team representing the club, showing not just what your own cars can do but what Supras can do to a general and mostly uneducated audience that thinks we drive a kind of Subaru Time to get out there and put your money where your mouth is - actions speak louder than words and all that Cheers, Brian.

Gruggs Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 Hi Brian, I will be hopefully be bringing Dimitri across in June to map the car. I'm trying to be ready for the few dates in June at crail to get a time. If the car is ready and people have pulled out leaving space then i'll put the car forward. I'll hold off putting my name on the list until i have a time though. Just thought i'd let you know i would be interested if ready but definitely on the maybes list just now.
