Santa Pod RWYB - 17 Mar 18

[cib24]

FD:OC's first club drag day below.

Who's in for a bit of old fashioned drag racing? I'm keen to see how quickly I can get my car down the strip and I bet some of you are as well! Let's make this a FD:OC event. We can do it a few times next year but let's start in March!

17th to be exact. It's basically £33 for the day and as many runs as you can manage.

I'm going for 12s. What will you be going for?

I have bought my ticket and booked a Premier Inn for the night before. Don't miss out!

Join me.

cib24: I will be disappointed if I don't run at least 12.9 but if I can launch hoping for mid 12s.
mpk490p: Plans to run 8s but mostly just doesn't want to break it.
blitzboy: Will show up as a cheerleader.
jdmr_neil: Don't leave the club hanging. We all want to see how your KKK performs.
martin17: Going for high 10s with the 8374.
jrmurray1108: Bringing the boss with a new half bridge and a 9174 at over 20 PSI. Still don't expect him to run more than a 15 ?

Was thinking about heading over if there was a few FDOCers there, but made other plans now for the 17th was hoping for the other date

 

[cib24]

There will be other dates to settle on for the club. It would be great to get a FD:OC leaderboards going after this first one.

Of course, respecting all of those that came before but that can be considered a historical file.

I think I had one too many beers when i said high 10s . More like high 11 or low 12

Nah, with that power and a good launch if you aren't below mid 11s you will be shamed.

Haha i better practice my launches then and hopefully it doesn't eat another diff this year.

We need to buy and install this before we try to launch our cars. Help ease the car off the line and maybe put just a tiny bit less pressure on the driveshaft and diff?

No additional takers for this drag day? First drag day of the year for the club. It's cheap to go! Brexit isn't affecting everyone that much yet, right?

I don't think my car will be on the ground by this date unfortunately .

 

[jdmr_neil]

I can't make this Roy as only due home on the 15th so can't just bail the family after I've been away for a month. Anyhoo i hung up my drag racing hat cause I'm shit at it.

Ran a 13.1 at York and a 13.4 at the pod but was only at 0.9bar at the pod with 70degree intake temps, went WI shortly after.

You should crack 12's no problem mate.

doubt i will make this now at the wife got made redundant a few weeks back and i was hoping to tax the car end of Feb

 

[cib24]

Just checking in. Is the list of attendees still relevant? Drop outs vs new attendees?

 

[cib24]

Santa Pod this weekend. I'm super excited to break my diff! Just kidding!

The weather has looked pretty stable the past few days that I have been looking at the forecast. Possibly some rain in the early morning but otherwise clear and 8-10 C.

I hope to see you there.

Did anyone run? i know the weather was pretty bad, the new track is suppose to cope with it better now though and dry quicker
