supra pod 2013 joint club event? POLL

[JasonR24]

It would be a shame to lose santa pod I think. March isn't too bad IMO

[mellonman]

I PM'ed shakespeare as they are on here for a cost and a date we would be able to get to hire, i hope to get a reply

 

i would change the poll and add elvington but i dont know how

[johnny g]

I vote Elvington, but then I would as I only live 5 mins away! it would make it much easier on our Scottish members too.

 

A couple of the big hotels in York have secure car parks too, good rail links for spectators, lots of nice bars etc.

 

It all depends on what Branners wants, though I guess. It's his decision afterall.

 

Elvington is a good choice IMO. It's 120 miles closer each way for the Scottish members on average (based on Glasgow to Elvington and Glasgow to Santa Pod Raceway), so 240 miles is nigh on £60 in fuel. And 40 miles closer for me

 

Let's not abbreviate Supra Airfield Day, though, eh?

[Rob_Mitchell]

"keep santapod for march and make joint event"

 

That gets my vote! its got to be santapod!!

[Branners]

Will wait for Shakespear to come back ,but they have always said they cannot and will not do exclusive hire for us. We can share one of their RWYB days but not have it exclusive to us.

[neil]

That ant that good if its not exslusive to us

[mellonman]

i havent heard back from them yet it was via PM at 10:00am though,

hopefully things might have changed and they will lets us get a exclusive day for us.

what about a friday at santapod do they do week days ?

You'll have problems with a lot of people who work Mon-Fri there.

ElvingSupra or SupraTon have nice rings to them

 

Photo opportunities at the museum would be fantastic too. If 50+ members can guarantee paid entry to the museum, I'm sure they'd tow the Halifax out for a few pictures with the Supras.

i would take a days holiday for suprapod, im sure others might

[Justin Bieber]

trouble is suprapod barely broke even last year as there was so little interest, maybe something different like an airfield day would bring some greater numbers in?

Most of the Scottish members last year came down from Aberdeen so add another 120miles on for us each way!

[Westy]

Elvington idea sounds interesting to me. I'm not bothered where it is as long as there IS a club event.

[neil]

YoU will need the timing equipment thow at elvinton but we could do a drag top speed and handling curcit and drifting

[Ibrar Jabbar]

I would like to do a few events for next year, Shakespeare joint gets my vote

[spikedjack]

shakespear, pod or an airfield for me, not fussed if its joint GTR, just dont want it joint with lots of other clubs

This appeals to me for sure and I for one would be more than happy to take a days leave for this, I would think there was plenty of notice of the date that others would too.

[mellonman]

The only problem i can see with the week day would be the traffic being worse,

 

i know its clutching at straws but i like supra pod

its a interactive meet

[grahamc]

Could we not see if we could hire an airfiled, like Elvington, as a joint event - and mark out a drag strip and handling course? Satisifes everyone then - and there's a couple of nice hotels within 15-20 miles of the hotel for us to go to afterwards.

 

An airfield day with a handling course would be fantastic!

 

If it's drag racing people want, then Shakespeare would be good. I've been there a few times, with and without people off here, and it's always a good day

 

Mixed set of events would be something I would drive further for! Drag, handling course (where do I get my bonnet pop cancellers), top (over a mile, etc

 

ElvingSupra or SupraTon have nice rings to them

 

Photo opportunities at the museum would be fantastic too. If 50+ members can guarantee paid entry to the museum, I'm sure they'd tow the Halifax out for a few pictures with the Supras.

I can bring all my camera kit, including flashes for some decent pictures, club can charge a small fee ... Pictures would look awesome with that!

If I dont work I dont get paid, week day is out for me....
