Branners Posted June 4, 2004 Share Posted June 4, 2004 Theres currently 4 'club' seats (cos thats about all I can fit in a mkiv with a gazeebo as well), so its first come first served on the seats . Naturally you can bring your northern seats along and sit under the gazeebo as well, we dont discriminate against anybody (except CJ, but he's from Wales) just dont be surprised if all the southerners sidle up to your chairs while you nip off for a wee. I was pleased to see Kevin put in a qualifying time even with the car running badly, Im sure it will run very well when its done. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONKEYmark Posted June 5, 2004 Share Posted June 5, 2004 branners you can take mine off and let a better car in. i enjoy the 1/4 section but not good on corners. and not done a top speed thing. maybe next year should be up for it with single fitted. and i will have plenty of tea and coffee for supra owners. will carry a spare auto gearbox and TC and a few tools if anyone needs. does anyone know if BFG` drag radials ok to use. they supposed to have a dot marking for usa for street use, dont know about uk though. the skyline lads seem to use dunlop formula r`s they look like a cut slick. good luck to anyone taking part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Micky Thompsons Street ET's might be your best bet though for good times. That surface is really abbrasive and a couple of runs will destroy Drag radials.

Paul Laing Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Any places available, or anyone dropping out of this? I would run if theres any spare places, on 17s i reckon 12.8 or under could be achieved. And round the twistys, mmmmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Theres currently a reserve list run by Chris Mann and currently theres no drop outs so no spare places at all. At this point I would suggest there wont be any spare spaces, even if Chris loses a whole bunch of cars he has spares to fill the gaps. If anything comes up I will let you know. Justin was on the reserve list but due to his accident on Saturday wont be able to make it even if his name came up. All the other competitors are ready, Leon and Dude did some test runs this weekend, Matt H and Ian Chisholm have their singles up and running and were at JAE today and the others are all ready to run.

Geezabloke Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 Sorry guys, but it looks like i may be out of the country working now. If back i shall come to spectate but i dont want to hold a place just for the sake of it if someone else is eager to have a go. Good luck to all that run.

Branners Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 yep, I can see all groups being brought down to 5 cars next year.

I didn't clear up my misfire despite masses of help from Matt H and Terry But I could race at 0.9 bar boost and with a mangled gearchange into second I still managed 171mph on the top speed. Plenty more to come then And I did the handling circuit free of demons, and loved it Matt did well until his clutch smoked.

michael Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Pics of cars and (some of) the results sheets will be here in a moment or two Congrats to Dude and well done to everyone else who ran, I think the Supra came away with a lot more respect this year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syed Shah Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 A great day out, very enjoyable. Some impressive cars, though it is a shame some of the big power cars broke, as it would have made it even better. Congratulations to all the Supras, especially dude! Definately the best year for the Supras so far. Oh, question for Big Roy: Do you have a speed camera detector? BTW, did anyone else think the trap speeds were off, especially at the start?

Ian C Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Originally posted by Syed Shah BTW, did anyone else think the trap speeds were off, especially at the start? Yeah, last year I was getting 112-118mph speeds with slower times. 13.12 @ 104mph doesn't sound right to me How many people were there btw?! -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I was there for an hour or two. This piccie here is Dude just about to beat the CRD supra. He's laid on some dry ice in a 70's Top of the Pops style, and in the foreground a skinhead is breaking wind and parting his cheeks to amplify the sound.

Paul Laing Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I'll have to type more in the morning, just wanted to say it was nice meeting everyone, and congrats to Dude! I thought the attendance yet again was poor, 4 or 5 Supras running....terrible! Sorry like but after being told there was no spaces left and that there was a reserve list then to turn up today and only half the Supras were there, felt like i could have ran! Maybe next year let people race who will actually race, none of these no show people eh? I might have gotten high 12s today if i raced, not as good as some Supras but at least there would be more of them! Anyway rant over, more pleasant comments tomorrow lol Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 Chris B, Matt Harwood, Christian Doran, Dude, the CRD boys, Kev Huntley, and me all ran, so that's seven. Leon's threw a rod - hardly his decision to "not run" Paul Whiffin didn't show up but as Paul has attended the first two events and does many track days and Pod I'm sure there must have been a very good reason for his no-show and he'll be gutted about it. -Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Whiffin Posted August 2, 2004 Share Posted August 2, 2004 I'm a bit pissed off actually, spent all week preparing my car, was working on it 9 till 10.30pm Saturday, went and hired a trailer, fitted a tow bar to my Forester, loaded it all up ready to go in the morning. Woke up in the middle of the night spewing my guts up, sweating like a bitch and feeling like the world was about to end so couldn't go, farked off as I feel perfectly fine now, must have been a dodgy burger Friday night from Tubby Turks! Well done to those who competed though especially dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
