Daston Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 yeah that would be cool and if needs be I know a few bands who would be willing to play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juanchan Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 That's only two tanks of fuel. Id say it was worth at least that for the fun it would be! As I was saying with USC, it's £85 for the weekend if you pay on the gate to do 3 runs each day. Some of us runs our Supras on a budget, and I for one only fill up every 2-3 weeks or so, let alone twice in one weekend! Whilst the idea of having two solid days of running at Pod is fantastic, the cost per day would rule a lot of people out. I think the other thread on suggestions for next year covered a lot of ground on what people would like to see in the future. Obviously if I suddenly get an unexpected 100% pay-rise I'll sign up for a full weekend straight away How much is something like the Bookatrack at Silverstone? Sounds like fun!

JustGav Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 As cheesy as this may sound, how about adding some excitement to the next supra pod event... Something along the lines of the tv show 'Pinks'.. go head to head with some allowances for car differences and best 3 out of 5. could provide for some very interesting entertainment...Obviously not for V5's.... but I'm sure some sideline wagers could be placed..

Branners Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I am currently in discussion with Pod and Bookatrack about a weekend of fun. The Saturday would be a day at Pod, same as this year. Then camping at Billing (or hotel at billing for the posh people out there) and then Sunday would be a track day at Silverstone or Rockingham where those who want to track their car can, and those who dont can spectate and be passengers. Does that sound like a plan folks? JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 sounds like a good plan mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mawby Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Sounds like great fun, but I can't help but laugh at those fools who are going to try and orgainse such a large event! Oh wait.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 hey, we have a fine selection of event mods we can rely on to help at all stages. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobbeh Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 I think it has to be one or the other. I think you're taking on too much too soon, the Pod event will be popular but I cant see masses turning up for a track day. Its bad enough convincing people to drive in a straight line let alone around track. Dont get me wrong, it sounds great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sure they would be happy to watch a few supras go round a track and get a passenger ride or two. Maybe we just step it back to 1 day at Pod next year if the track day bit isnt a go-er.

Bobbeh Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Or 2 separate events, Paul W was trying to get a track day sorted for Supras this year at somewhere like Silverstone but you know what its like - lots of interest but it usually drops when the time comes.

AshBhp Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Two separate events would be better, one early like Supra pod day was and track day end of summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted April 28, 2007 Share Posted April 28, 2007 love to have a bash at the track however a bit worried about what I would do if the track had a bash at me (the getting home part that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
