Steve W Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 MID'..... YES, if it's the slightest bit SLIPPY, ANYBODY has a chance ! ! I won last time out with one of the LEAST powerful there. Matt's car is a 'fair' bit more tuned than mine BUT because I had about as much 'power' as the track could cope with............. IF it's bone dry/major grip then I'd guess Matt & Co. will have a more distinct advantage. BUT, I HAVE A BIG WATERING CAN ! ! ! ! Then again, I SHOULD have miles more power than "Supra Pilot", and his times were right on mine - he outdragged me away from the lights EVERY TIME, it was only TWO TURBOS that pulled it back, ie, driver skill DOES come into it (S'P' has an N/A ! ! ! ) FatS.

Matt Harwood Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 Driver skill has a lot to do with it... More so on slippery surfaces... That's why I'm so bad! Dom, did you read the Steves post?!?! "Red rag to a bull" springs to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 ANYWAY, I meant that as a COMPLIMENT ! ! His PODDING skills are obviously far superior to mine ! ! I really DO think he has a brilliant 'feel' for clutch/throttle feed-in..... [hang on........... BBBLLLLLUUURRRRRR, HUGHIE, UP-CHUCKEROOO] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harwood Posted March 27, 2003 Share Posted March 27, 2003 LOL, I beat him by 0.015 seconds last time... Hardly anything to boast about, but we beat him and that's what matters... Although he has had practice since... Should we be worried! He must be working late today, can't believe he wouldn't have commented otherwise!

Scooter Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 It's all just banter to get a bit of healthy competition, on the day everyone's too busy chatting / racing. Its only post the event that it all starts again on the forum. BTW i'm the right side of 30 (just) and my car should be running at standard boost (0.8 Bar????) A week sunday, Santa Pod (Northampton way, normally a convoy is organised nearer the time) and cost about 10ish to get in/spectate and £13ish to run from memory..... but you know what they can be like as you get older.....next thing you know I'll be repeating myself:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve W Posted March 28, 2003 Share Posted March 28, 2003 I MIGHT be going to Pod THIS Sunday to take 1 or both me bikes (obviously someone ELSE riding the second !). THIS IS NOT A PRACTICE for next week:p , just want to see what sort of times the bikes get.

Matt Harwood Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 Are you going to run Darren? It'd be interesting to see what you can do.

Digsy Posted March 31, 2003 Share Posted March 31, 2003 I'll probably run, yes. I'll be "baseline boy" again, just like at the rolling road day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
