Reffro · 07-02-2007, 17:53

Well hopefully I'll have a working Dragon tuning box for the day. Looking forward to see what times I can post with it fitted. Still after that elusive 15.something after finishing last year on 16.03 secs. The tuning box should see to that.......

Loz · 07-02-2007, 17:57

Me me!! I'm going!!! I'm camping over! LOL! I'm going to freeze to death! I was cold camping at pod for USC in August!

oh well, get a bit of a camp fire going and plenty vodka, I'll be reet!

I would love to go in the 400, but the drive train is currently being replaced. May go in the ignis.

Col G - AKA qtrmile virgin

***Neo_VR*** · 18-02-2007, 10:45

morning all.. I did go in the end.. infact I'm still here lol, decided not to run my car this time due to clutch issues and one of my cooling fans lunching itself..

good to see refro representing the czech corner putting in some very consistant times.. some of the other hardware here is just scary.. hayabusa engined gokart, some mad bikes with turbos and nos. and even a bentley gt!

it was fookin freezing overnight and loz wasn't happy about me trying to steal those heatpack things lol!

I've learnt some valuable lessons too.. bring more clothes and get a new tent!!

all in all has been a good weekend its definitely better at night.. better still after a few jars

- ill definitely be at the next one!

***Neo_VR*** · 18-02-2007, 11:00

hello. lozkins here! I still have the heatpack things on and they are still hot! watched 24 last night in the tent, then could hear col playing worms when I went to bed next door but one lol. anywho, best go help dismantle the tent!

devonutopia · 18-02-2007, 13:10

All well & good but what times did Col & Reffro get down the strip?

Was a night to perhaps sleep in the car.

Reffro · 18-02-2007, 15:15

On a strip with little grip I got a 15.87 @ 86.5mph best run. I've just been looking at my times and just this moment counted that I did 31 runs in total during the day...........

My previous best was 16.03 in my car when it was standard, I ran with the dragon tuning box yesterday which obviously helped. 15 runs yesterday were under 16.1 secs, but there was very little grip off the start. I'll go back later in the summer when the weather will be far more helpful. Knowing what my car will do I should get close to 15.5 secs with some more grip.

I had fun the whole day, took quite a few scalps, including a Mk3 Golf GTI 16v, XR2i, Nova 2.0 16v, BMW Z3, Mini Cooper with JC works tuning & a remapped Grande Punto 1.9jtd Sporting (claimed 160hp). There were others no doubt, but those are the one's I can remember.

There were so few people running I was taking regular breaks, and still got 31 runs in, using a 1/4 tank of diesel. Apart from the cold weather it was an exceptional days entertainment. I managed to skin a few faster cars off the line, including an Impreza who only got past me in the last 100 yards. Nice to meet another Briskodian, NeoVR, and to race so many different people, though towards the end of the day people were defintitely avoiding me in the queue, must not like loosing to a diesel.

***Neo_VR*** · 18-02-2007, 16:27

Just got back now... am bloody shattered!!!

Today was much busier than the saturday.. lots of old skool fords (inc a mk2 escort with a rx7 engine in it) stripped out redtop novas,corsas, a awesome corvette stingray, A polo with a 20vt + nos in the boot.. some proper mad-*** sub 9 second bikes, the list goes on!!

Anyway.. i took a few pics, but theyre probably crap, so ill let loz handle the photograpy

Loz · 18-02-2007, 16:39

My Corvette was there again!

It's awesome that car, I want it. Got some piccies of it

I too am knackered. I am also sure I have sunburn on my face, but I'm not quite sure how I managed that!!

well, it was sunny, but cold.
