Branners Posted August 16, 2010 Author Share Posted August 16, 2010 Pod have no more weekend dates available until November, and I think thats pushing our luck more than an August date. So we either go for the Shakespear date or try and fit in to a RWYB at Pod in say September. Pod will give us our own space for the event but I know it wont be the same.

Pete Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 My experience of RWYB is lots of queues and a number of idiots. Shakespeare County Raceway is a smidgeon close to me which I like! Been there once 4 years or so ago, a bit more basic than Pod but plenty of room and a drag strip is all we really need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcAB10 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Aaaaand that's me just home from my weekend of suprapod! Massive massive thanks to Keith (kslb) and Eve for letting me drop the car off at theirs and then giving me a lift home, that's ANOTHER favour I owe you guys! Not sure how the heck I would of got the car off the trailer without your help. I did chuckle a bit when I heard the recovery driver tell his boss on the phone that it was a 'race car' he had just picked up...

Shane Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 (edited) Glad you finally got back ok Marc, think it was you following us from the Ibis to Rockingham until the Morrison's truck got in the way! Was a great weekend despite the weather on Saturday. Well done to the mods and all involved organising it. Sorry for Lui and the mess up with the convoy from the Ibis after all his hard work planning it. I have got some phone footage of around 6 Supras doing laps of the Tesco roundabout blocking all the traffic in all directions until Tom came to the rescue and led us all out. Not read anything about Rockingham so far, is there another thread for this I have missed? I thought it was a great day out and a nice venue despite the lack of a strip. If only the weather had been like Sunday at the pod. Shakespear sounds like a good option if Pod isnt available. November is a bit hit and miss, could be a nice cold crisp day or it could be like Saturday but colder.

Try David2009, he has lost his and uses electric fans so he may have the old one available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

add heywood Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Wish I'd picked the hotel option now I'll let you know my burgers and sausages were cooked just fine on the BBQ (just before the storm came across thank god) So much for the 20+ people that opted for camping. Never did get your name mate while we were roughing it hardcore. We also camped over in the massive thunder storms, the kids loved it. Only grumble was the mud pancakes on the bottom of my trainers after putting up the tent. We had a good laugh with the mini lot at the beer tent, bit of music and a show aswell. Thanks for Mcdonalds kindly donating their disabled toilets for 20 mins on Sunday morning to get me and the boy washed and sorted for Japfest. Roll on next year...

AlexM Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Nice work on the scarring Clive, think the car looked nicer before though (one of the tastiest S14s I've seen, and it looks pretty stock!). You've done a good job of putting me off wanting to drift the Supra and wanting something a bit cheaper and tattier to destroy - not selling yours are you? (Just kidding mate, and good luck with your other project ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted August 28, 2010 Author Share Posted August 28, 2010 The only dates Pod had available were in November, and I couldnt face everybodys' disappointment if I organised another event and that got rained off too. I'm sort of keeping a beady eye on your Shakespear Raceway event in case we try and pile in to that one instead. But the weather in October is random so again its a risk. Pod did say if we find a RWYB on their calendar they will give us our own area to use, but the queues may be quite large as Pod RWYB is popular now.
