this was thee best frog of the pod i have been to, loads to do on the night, bars open, live bands, stalls even a tatooist. great to meet gt josh and gt phil and they looked like they were having a great time getting loads of runs in. really was a shame more didnt turn up. if people dont turn up to events then i am sure that events will eventually dry up
The vw boys know how to attend.
Was a good show with some nice cars thrown in, happy days
Ha I will take that all day long budA standard 3dr cossie runs 15.5s mate, so dont be too hard on yourself
What was your terminal speed?
Dam the 5s bouncy on the motorway 50mm drop is a bitch for 200mile trips
To all the guys I met today ALL of you it was great to speak to you all and I hope to get to the next event again.. I know some member are still on the motorway now
Some great crazy cars bikes dragsters funny cars te little 8yr old girls in the dragsters doing 70mph runs was cracking..
Unfortunatley I didn't get any footage lol as we were queuing for runs but chatting all the way..
Bring on the next meet!!!!

Had a good day, nice to meet a few new faces and see the regulars
Seemed to be a lot of people signed on for a test & tune day though. I only done 4 runs and waiting 30 mins + in the queue for a run which was dissapointing tbh. Just seemed like the old days where a handful of us used to rock up to a rwyb day.
I was expecting a few more rtoc to turn up though, sort it out without support these events will dry up for sure
just like to say me and mike had a wicked day, meeting the legend van and mr brigsy also meeting notts and some others too, as usual all decent peeps and of course my mates at the surrey meet phil, shaggy, the crash, markey mark, mr reed, i even had a whippy van placed on site for the crash lol, got loads of vids of all the renault 5 boys runs which ill up to youtube asap, i agree wiv brigsy too bout the pod day, but couldnt we all just rock up and pay on a set day????? or do we get a good discount??? thats my 2 penith worth anywayz, brilliant day weather held and i got sunburned some how lol tc all and thanx again mick
i turned up, had fun, had a whippy
There was a whippyi turned up, had fun, had a whippydam I missed that too
Did anyone else have a McIndian. Yummy.
yeah, had some kind of wrap, nearly burnt me mouth out
wait till the morning when you McSh1t your pants..
I turned up and had the baddest pizza in the world, ever!
Well I went, and what I saw wasn't what I was expecting at all. It was like we were trying to gatecrash a VW event! I swear the woman on the gate chuckled when I said I was there with the RTOC! As Brigsy said, it felt more like a 'normal' day that some of us turned up to, like the old RWYB days. We didn't even appear to have a dedicated parking area, unless I missed it
On the plus side - It was good to see some different stuff at the pod (there was some crazy stuff going up the strip), and there was a lot going on, as our days have always been a bit quiet, and empty. At the same time though, that 'exclusive' feeling wasn't there. Although 1/4 mile doesn't appeal to me, I've always loved our pod days. The feeling and atmosphere, that the place is just ours for the day, followed by an evening on the beers, munching a dodgy bbq, and having bucket-loads of banter, is always awesome!
Overall though I had a good day
I also got there and back (190 miles) without having to refuel the car. That's not happened for a few years. My computer is telling me that I've still got another 260 miles worth in the tank - Clio FTW
Had a good day met some nice chaps. Managed to get 6 runs in, dissappointed in that respect. I was under the impression that the track was 70% ours... Not a rwyb. Managed 14.9 @95mph due of me and Phil sharing slicks I ended up not getting a go with them on and couldn't put the power down in 1st and 2nd. Car was emptying the bowl. No matter what I did with te carb. Gutted really as if we had the track exclusive i could of done spme more 'test and tune' work.So new fuel pump and some wiring is in order for big boost. Car went well, after I fixed the gearbox that was! Well well. Thanks for the weekend. Shame more peeps didn't turn out!
I had a good weekend all in all, I was amazed at the turn out for the vw event.
Without a doubt the track was much better than I have experienced before, just the ques were a problem, I managed 6 runs all day inbetween making some rushed changes to my carb, compare that to 20+ at last years pod day and well there wasn't really enough time to test and tune.
I didn't manage to get the time or terminal speed I was after unfortunatly, and then at 4:30 it started to rain so they shut the strip half hour early also
A lot of breakages also on the day held things up for the runners.
Was nice to see a few fives turn up and to put some faces to names so to speak.
I just love the whole atmosphere at pod, it's a petrol heads heaven! I hope as a club we can sort something out for next year and if not then it will have to be rwyb for us in the future.
A big thankyou to all involved and to those who turned up
I enjoyed the day, good excuse to get the r5 out, certainly was pretty damn busy, im going to guess if it was a normal test and tune day there wouldnt of been half as much, however the vw crowd ramped up numbers big time. I couldnt run as my car has an issue with currently running very rich on idle, as as such sooting crap up etc however it was still very fun to watch, shame about teds motor chewing the dust straight away, but i guess thats the way it is sometimes .
until the next time.. chowwww
Was a long drive home on my bill ... but got home safely .. good to meet up with old and new people .... just cant believe how busy it was ..... Managed to do 4 runs and ahieve a pb time but not terminal speed ... wish i could lauch the car better .... Managed a 13.9938 @ 102.57 on road tyres ... i was happy with that
perfect track and weather but no rtoc parked area for members or for mike gt turbo spares to set up his standmy luck ran out on my jc5 gearbox the diff bearings gave way when i lanuched so that means my new 21turbo driveshafts that i fitted are up to the job as i was breaking driveshafts every week.plan for winter months 6 speed gearbox conversion.ps can we have are own pod day back please for RTOC .ORG
Did you not get any runs in then Rob ?
