Miguel Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 I can see why TOTB has fallen out of favour with some, it has turned into a bit of a tuner fest. It used to be a really good weekend with a great atmosphere until it turned into a showcase for 'professionals'. Shame really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobbeh Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Same as the Jap events at Santa Pod, they just turned into OTT tuned dragged cars that didnt really represent road going vehicles. Tis the way it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, my car is never going to compete against the tuner cars, they are building cars to do a job, my car takes me on the tescos run.

vase Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 It was a mile vase. Ok thanks. Some of the earlier posts gave me the idea that it was more than a mile. I guess that was just the language barrier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 Yes 1 mile, was your time over 1.25 miles then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It used to be a really good weekend with a great atmosphere until it turned into a showcase for 'professionals'. Shame really. Still got the great atmosphere guys, a lot of camaraderie still there, really nice event to attend, yes there are some very quick tuner cars there but doesn't mean you can't compete, as we happen to be RWD we still have a good chance in that section, a few quick vipers etc buit no reason a supra could not win the drag or top speed, its the only way to get proper competition, race other cars as fast as yours or quicker, sticking to club days in cars like ours is like I said shooting fish in a barrel, hardly proves a point being a hero with a gun when everyone else carries a knife:taped: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually that gives me an idea, watching C Wilsons vid of Jungle Jim, all the old drag cars had names like 'Money Hungry' Russo's Rat' etc Maybe we should have a name for the car any ideas??? I thought of 'The Punisher' and have the punisher skull on the black parachute when its pulled!!!! Damn I should have been racing in the 60's!!!!!
