    Re: Any news from pod yet?

    I have heard that Brigsy in the van has done a 13.09 with I think it was 109 terminal.

    Markey mark in the campus has done a 12.6 with 104 terminal

    A Civic has done 10.9 secs this is not the back yard racing civic though.

    Hey guys from memory brigsy got a 12.8 in the van I think! Not hundred percent on that one but scoff ran a 10.524 I think it was 10.5 something anyway so he's broke his record

    Re: Any news from pod yet?

    It was great there today, bloody good turnout. More camping than i thought aswell so they will be there 2moz.

    Loved Markey marks Campus. Thats just badass!!

    Also saw a very nice Pearlesant white 5 flying up the strip this morning that had me drooling. Whos was that?

    I'm glad to say my 5 kept up with the turbo lads on the motorway and it got some nice comments from new peeps I met. Always nice that.

    Good to chat with the usual crew and make some new buddies.

    I loved Goo's enthusiasm, at one point this morning im sure his mates were pulling bits of the engine to see if it would go faster. Quality.

    Great to see such good turn out!! Keep it up RTOC.

    Markymark pulled a 12.6 @ 108mph in the campus, but then the head lifted so he called it a day.

    Re: Any news from pod yet?

    Just got in - awesome day and a fair few fcuking awesome cars!

    We all know how clued up Scoff is but his R5 is something out of this world. He's put some serious time, effort and of course knowledge into that car and it's paying off!

    He did a few runs - varying from 10.3 to 10.5sec @ 143mph

    Glen Hi5's efi/nitrous car was pretty poky

    Marky Marks campus was pulling 12s til it decided to misbehave

    TommyBs brother in the silver ph1 took a serious amount of stick and it never missed a beat pulling low 13s all day long!

    Brigsys van was quite good - pulled a 12sqm like he said he would/wanted

    Roll on National Day

    Just got in myself, had an awesome day.

    Campus didn't do too bad for its first outing, yeah she decided to have abit of a paddy later on in the day. Had no idea something was wromng with it till i saw colour of water, nicely mixed with oil in the header tank but oil in engine is fine.
    Don't worry she'll be back soon with a few more tweeks!
    Best of the day was a 12.65@108.2

    Scoff's car is just amazing me more and more everytime i see it, awesome time!

    Glens (Hi 5) car was going well till the box had a problem which was a shame.

    BYR boys are back in the tens, saw them pull a 10.9@131mph near end of the day

    In all had an awesome day, same again next year!

    had a great day out, rinsing my little shed up the strip all day , and it never missed a beat.

    best time was only 15.7, as the engines running standard boost at the moment, but its the taking part that counts

    going to aim for the 14's next year

    Re: Any news from pod yet?

    just in the door 5 mins , sunburnt, tired and skint (£200 on fuel trailering the 5 to the pod ), best run out of the 11runs i got in the morning before i lost the alty belt and for some reason the lower altenator bolt was a 13.08@112mph i was just feeling the new tyres starting to work when the belt snapped kinda gutted to be honest really wanted to get a 12s pass today its defo there if i could just get the starts right and maybe some traction, maybe next year

    thanks to the guys that offered help today pushing the 5 from the end of the strip, the guy that gave me the fan belt and especially the 2 guys that grabbed the marquee legs after a sudden gust of wind almost dragged it across my car cheers guys nice reactions

    Didn't get back till 1am, sat on the M6 stuck in road works at brum!

    Top day and night, great turn out and as per usual RTOC the weather was booked in advance.

    Good Midlands turn out, well done LampsRS and Ian MM for 13 sec runs, my car ran a mid 14 but was holding back in 3rd boooooooo...........kris M and spooky I might have to take up some offers of carb help

    Brigsy............that van is class, love it.

    Never thought i'd see the day an RTOC fire was put out by a fire truck , but it relighted itself (BYR )

    Matt Hall was at his first show, top lad we played him up all weekend with tricks like thinking his car was on fire but he took it all in good jest.

    Looking forward to ND already

    Re: Any news from pod yet?

    aiii, a cracking day out had by us, mucho thanks to everyone for organsing it

    our day was a bit dissapointing really, spent a good few hours early on trying to get our new boost controller working, (which lets us control boost in every gear), but alas could not get it working, so had to re-fit the bleed valve
    once we got it back up to its normal boost levels we then was back to low traction in 1st and 2nd, 30psi in 1st gear=, (anyone who saw our later passes would know what im talking about ) but then upon checking our datalogs realised car was rather lean, so started to adjust the map, but hit 100% injector duty, so could go no further with the tuning. car is making more power now than last year, as we didnt max out the injectors last year, but now its 130kg heavier, hence only the same 10.9@132 lol

    great chatting with everyone, and an amusing night
