Any news from pod yet?

[GTphil]

Nice to catch up with everyone! Top weekend, I was worn out by the end of it 4 hours sleep in 4 days just isn't healthy!

I managed a 13.4 @ 97mph at 20psi in the raider, I had to come completely off the gas about 5/6car lengths from the line.

I did run a 99.6 terminal but had problems with the flote/chamber emptying at the top of third/fourth.

Few tweeks to try and hopefully more boost should see that improve

Scoff your car is a monster!

Plenty of good times by other fives. who ever has the white five with the polished willy wheels, that looks .

[jaffa]

another fantastic few days at pod a big thanks to stu and miller who organised it all...and good luck for any future events to big steve.....pod staff are top notch...the dodgems a winner....all our cars almost ok stus and robbos 5lag back on there t2 after a midnight change over in the hotel car park it had to happen...jonty put his new turbo off adam on in the campsite then did a few runs up the strip all good......ashys unfortunatly had to come home on the aa truck and will be home at approx 12 midnight tonight so a long day for him...and mine seems ok after 14 runs and a good caning on the motorway just a fuelling problem when flat shifting???? need to look at that but markey mark and brigsy had a similar fault??? temps maybe?? but yeah these events getting better every year well done RTOC

[Rob@Backyardracing]

love the commentary

[Brigsy]

Another awesome do at the pod good to see the regs & new faces.

Finally broke the van into the twelves with a 12.8@106. Done it on 2nd run then struggled to do a clean run again due to fuelling problems! Done a few 13.0 runs so its heading in the right direction

Awesome crack on the evening, some rtoc comedy gold moments Roll on the next one.

Got some good pics here will get them uploaded soon

[The new Bill J]

Brilliant

What an event - That must have been the best one I've been to in a long time. It was good to see so any old faces up there, and meet a few new people as well. That was my first time at 'pod in two years, and although I'm not a huge fan of drag racing, I've really missed the place/events there.

It was a bit strange at times. As cars drove past, a few of us were recognising the cars, but the owners have all changed. Several rounds of: 'Look, it's such and such's old car' rang out throughout the day. It's good to see them all still going though.

The campsite/beer antics were hilarious, with plenty of gold moments, and comments. The winner for me has to be Ricardo's 'Barry Sheen'. And I just have to say a few thank you's to: Steve and Onion, Sammy Tripod, Mart and Vinegar, Ray Banned, and of course, Billy Pallet

Fair play to the 'pod staff for opening up the dodgems - What a laugh that was.

Finally, congrats to Scoff as well. I never got a chance to speak to you during the day, but Holy crap, that thing is awesome! You're also a nutter. Firstly, you're driving a Renault 5 at over 140mph . Secondly, you're running a gtt from standstill to off the clock in less than 1/4 of a mile . And thirdly, you're doing it with 6psi of air in the front tyres

Lunatic

Don't forget about Vod Col!

[The new Bill J]

Don't forget about Vod Col!

I knew there was one I forgot

[sphinX]

Sounds like an awesome day out, sorry I couldn't make it this year like last but there's always next year see you all at national day

[Spooky]

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

Dude...your carb spec isn't bad but it's not ideal...the main jet is too big for starters tho

Stick a 1.2mm main jet back in and look at the a/c and enrichment circuit for additional fuelling on boost and increased revs.

Has the a/c been adjusted?

Any enrichment circuit modifications?

You're more than welcome to wing it down to me for a day of tweeking and tuning...you won't see much change out of 20psi though

[Logg]

Wow cracking day as always thanks to the committee and all those that helped organise the day.

Great to see everyone old and new. and well done on some great times.

I did 15 runs before I popped the car. The best run was a 14.01@100mph So close to my taget of cracking a 13 with with all my interior still in place. But the best part was seeing my 60ft times come down from 2.7 at the start of the day to 2.1 with my normal road tyres still on. As said by a few other people said on the day I also had what felt like a cutting out issue when hooking 2nd&3rd so never got a clean run.

Car is almost back together one of the fire rings on the H/G looked like an egg.

Massive thanks to Robbie aka Turbo Ted for putting my car on his towing dolly and letting me drive his Stock 5 GTT home, Wow what a pleasure that car is too drive you forget how nice these cars are out of the box.

Till next time peoples

[Dave Reed]

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

10.37 @ 143.9 for the final run, really pleased with that. managed not to video it with the in-car and non of the normal crowd got a video either so if anyone captured it I'd be made up if you could send it over

Very well done fella awsome time!! Gutted I missed it, should be out soon though...

[rs250nut]

What an awesome weekend, a massive thank you for all those involved in setting up this amazing weekend, as long as you keep doing these I will be there every year. Bit gutted to not be racing but watching some of you lads running 10's has given me some motivation. The night time antics also made up for not racing, thanks for the guys who sold me 20 cans of stella at 12, me and a few others got through 68 cans in the end. And did I feel it in the morning, thaks to all those we camped with and a massive thank you for mike for bringing the bbq. Roll on next year with the renda

[Ashy]

Great day (and night) well done to all those pushing the limits!! 10 seconds is the new 12 seconds it seems!

Got home at 8:30 last night after a pre 11am start, 210miles, 3 aa men and 10 long hours on the road! Still its always worth it for the crack! See ya'll next year.

[Smokey]

It was a great day, didnt know what to expect at first but it was quality, it was great to see how concenrned everyone was and came over to help when certain individuals put smoke bombs under my car so it looked like it was on fire.
Thank god Krissy M didnt go wild with his extinguisher and spray my bay but thanks for the carb lesson and im with J8tro be good to come down and see how you use your LM1 so we can all do it our selves up in the West Midlands.

Bring on Mallory. and get to meet a few more faces i didnt get to speak too.

[jesus in the seat of a 5]

Hi all. Had a really good time in the day , weather was corking and plenty of cars there etc, shame i wasnt in a 5, only in the clio but one is being made mint and the others arent even road legal..., to be honest the strip doesnt do that much for me, having said that , it is great to see others go at it hammer and tongs to beat their personal best times..., my main reason was to meet up with old and new friends alike, of which i did..., it was bloody mint seeing so many people and chatting when possible, damn i love this club, what a smashin group of people!!!!!..., sorry i didnt stay around and that i missed the evening antics but me uncle had his 60th today and it would of been curtains if i missed it..., well after a spirited journey home in convoy with mr bean and co , i was merely left with the memories of a great day and that vision of what i wont forget in a long time of scoff pulling a 10.3.., good goin mate...well done the organisers, job well done..jeebus.

[fidos got a raider]

What a weekend haven't had one like that in years.
Got burnt to a crisp both days but not as bad as phill. Want to give the lads I was with a big thank you for making it worth while. Glad to see the new and the old members again

[Kris M]

Just got back in myself, after an extended evening at Big Steves last night ...Was a superb day and night at Pod, the old ph1 never missed a beat on the strip, and still managed to blast home in the 30 degree heat from Steves today

Great to see the usual faces + meet some new ones.....Was a great moment driving Brigsy`s van with over 15 people crammed in the back + on the roof for a toilet run

[D4WNO]

Lol, the van was great, I couldn't stop laughing for a while. I didn't even know it was a toilet trip, I just saw everyone bundling in and thought I'll have some of that fun too

So many great moments, yet another RTOC success. Can't wait for Mallory now

[Mr Raider]

Mega weekend, first time been up the strip, defo take raider back for another blat, cheers everyone and rtoc, word out

[philr5t]

fantastic weekend out of this world well done to those who run there cars at pod cant wait for mallory hats off to all you party boys for making my evening one to remember

[Coops]

i had a wicked time, good to meet people, altho i have no idea what anyones names are again now, totally forgot!

laid a PB of 12.54@117mph in the clio as well, so more than happy with that and with some slicks i should be into the 11's next time

[Spooky]

Its weird how it doesnt sound turbo charged on full chat but goes like a stabbed rat

[Kenobi]

Good to meet ya coops. Good time that well done.

[djinuk]

ah coops , so your the one rocking the funny hulk t--shirt on friday..

Im the dude who unfortunatly had to make the venture in th diesel orange n black pug.

Good to meet ya anyway and the clio looked sweet.

[Coops]

lol, cheers boys, yeah remarkably it behaved itself impeccably for once, my last trip to pod i stripped first gear on the first run of the day!!! lmao!

as said, room for improvement yet, if i can sort my 60ft to sub 2 secs i should see the business end of the 12's so thats something to aim for as the terminal speed is healthy enough

yeah, did you dig the irony of the hulk t-shirt on the skinniest guy there

[Shane P]

Im the dude who unfortunatly had to make the venture in th diesel orange n black pug.

I did wonder who that belonged to

[djinuk]

haha , indeed i did notice the irony of it :P, cool t-shirt though, somthing i would buy.

The dervs a great tug monster but god damn, that cheap ass satin black paint dont half heat up fast in the sun!!

[Jessop]

would be worse,

could have spend 5k on a neon house of kolor paint job for it to fade in the sunlight

Didnt know it was you in the pug otherwise i'd have come over and said HAI =]

I didnt get back til 11pm on sat night mind after a detour to Liverpool to pick an exhaust up. another great day had by all it seems.

Cant wait for Mallory now, as long as i can get time off work

[Rob@Backyardracing]

Slicks you say, drop me a PM, im selling the ones of the civic....

[TommyB]

Had a Awesome day, Made me really pleased to be part of the RTOC.

Another massive well done to Scoff, you so have a 9 in the car Would be insane to be the first uk FWD in to the 9s.

A massive well done to my brother who drove his silver phase 1 to a 13.3@ 101.75 on a T2 with no nitrous. And only with 15psi of boost.

Big thanks to Glenn for the T40 torx, i put that back on your tool box as you were very busy. Also you made an 11 look so damm easy. Also hats off for going 123mph thats flying for a C1J.

Nice to see a campus run a 12.6 with marky mark at the wheel. You know the nitrous makes sense,

[AlexS]

Sounded like a good weekend chaps. I really wanted to be there but work got in the way.

Congrats Scoff! 9's not so far off now. I'll make sure I'm there for your next competition runs Chris.

Billy, catch up next weekend pal.

[Markey Mark (BD)]

Nice to see a campus run a 12.6 with marky mark at the wheel. You know the nitrous makes sense,

[Spooky]

A massive well done to my brother who drove his silver phase 1 to a 13.3@ 101.75 on a T2 with no nitrous. And only with 15psi of boost.

Tom, yours brothers car was awesome...he mustve done well over 50 runs and it showed no signs of giving up

[Spooky]

Don't worry mate i'm on the same wave length!

Hmm, 11 second Campus anyone...

[Markey Mark (BD)]

Hmm, 11 second Campus anyone...

We'll see mate, got to gain the extra half second first.

She'll be having few tweeks done now engine is coming apart.
