Rach No1GR

Hi Peeps. Glad some of you can come.

Just to clarify a few things.

You dont need to buy your tickets in advance just reserve your club stand space, its only a quid cheaper to buy tickets in advance and i know how hard it is to get people to pay up front for things sometimes.

The entry price for the Saturday (15 quid gate) includes entry on the saturday overnight camping saturday night and entry to the normal RWYB on the sunday.

There is camping available Friday night for those with a long way to travel in a field on the right before you get to the santa pod entrance but there are no facilities there.

We have the bar open serving cold drinks from midday to midnight, there will be a DJ as well from some time in the evening to midnight, we have a bouncy boxing ring from 4pm to 10pm, there will be competitions and prizes.

There are some tuners coming, BB, K-Tec, Ms Motorsport etc i am working on more at the moment if you know of a company that might be interested then get them to drop me a line (rachel@rtoc.org)

The tuners have said if you want anything taking to the show to save on postage then to give them a call and place your order and they will take it with them.

Think thats about it, any questions feel free to ask.

Its a drag strip so errr No :D www.santapod.com for more info on the venue.

Oh yeah one thing i forgot above its 20 quid for unlimited runs on the strip on the saturday.

KingStromba
13-06-2005, 19:55
A track with no corners? Sounds a bit easy. Youll be telling me next its only 1/4 of a mile long.

Rach No1GR
13-06-2005, 20:29
Lol well in most cases more people will take there car on a drag strip than a full track, too scared of stacking it on a track :D

Quarter Mile times have been a big thing in Rtoc for as long as i can remember the current record being 12.18, perhaps someone can set a Williams Clio record for someone to beat next year.

And one more thing i forgot is that we have a mobile rolling road as well and BB said they would put a couple of there cars on it first to start it off so there should be plenty to do and see.

Well for a start yuor car is tuned and mine is standard. So there is a power deficit. Secondly, mine isnt run in. And thirdly, if i drive a car in a race, to me its a race car, and its gets treated as such. I wouldnt want give that abuse to my car.

1/4 miling is a piece of piss. Driving in a straight line. Must have been the Americans who popularised such a dull and easy sport.

You wanna put your money where your mouth is? If so you can drive my 5 with one hand tied behind your back and see if you can beat my time in my car. If not kindly zip it please :D 1/4 miling isnt as easy as people think, not if you want to put in a decent time anyway, you gotta get the launch right and gear changes, ideally you want the right suspension set up and drag tyres for a start, for most its just a bit of fun, we've all had the traffic light grand prix's at some point in our driving career, just at Santa Pod you can do it without breaking any speed limits.

Yeah ill race your car. But i dont want my hand tied behind my back as could make it uncomfortable. Im sure id beat / get close to your time in my first or second run using one hand.

You lot talk about 1/4 miling as if there is something magically different to launching a car on a piece of tarmac just because it has 'Santopod' written dont the side of it.

If you can launch a car quickly, you can launch a car quickly. Its really not that hard. It all just seems like a waste of time really.

Tied to your front then just to make it more comfortable for you, but you said one handed so i'd like to make it impossible for you to use one of them otherwise you'd be breaking your rules and we cant see from the spectator stand if you are or not. So how about it, are you going to put your money where your mouth is or not ?

Never said qtr miling was magical just not as easy as you make out, not if you want to break any records anyway, fir most its a bit of fun.

and i always find it quite tricky to get a good launch at pod, limited runs and extra sticky track make for a lot of experimenting......with the limited runs tho iv never had more than 3 in a day at pod.. iv not really managed a truly competitive time there...i dont think


14.5 my best there i believe

Martin
15-06-2005, 20:59
well people say you should be able to get a decent number of runs..so I'm hopeful of getting low 14s... tbh I can't see me running slower than 14.5 unless the surface is REALLY shite.

Yep, I have plenty of spares, there isnt anything you could break that cant be fixed, I have owned it for 5 years, see pics in my newbie thread, there isnt anything for you to hit unless you end up in the wall and please dont lol !

Think the first is more realistic as it may rain, in which case im not likely to win.

My time on the day will be fine. Cash ?


Nahh cash is boring. If i win, you run up the 1/4 mile in a thong. If you win, i will run up the 1/4 mile in boxers.

You'd better win then mate, I really don't want to see you in your boxers, as funny as it may be.

Looks like the challenge has beeb laid down Rob, but will you accept???? :wink:

breaking the car with a clutchless gearchange will also result in a forfit and loss then in that case... although if GR has to wear a thong so should you... although disgusting i'd be piss funny

If the car breaks on one of my runs the win goes to me.

16-06-2005, 00:17
why, when you will be going out of your way to break it? if it's so easy and your so good you should be able to do it without breaking the car and clutchless changes.

seperate challenge. can stromba clutchless gearchange a car without breaking it, or is this his get out clause :roll: :wink:

but breaking the car would then be a forfit run, so that would make you the loser in this case, as you said:

lol..this is gunna be funny



this is what i was thinkin when he asked to run my car..as quite a few ppl know i have no qualms about anyone that is already racing their car down the strip, taking mine down, under the proviso that if summat breaks.bit of coin to repair/replace.....unless its summat that i know about and is on its way, and that i also know a brief history of the driving capabilities lol.dont want mine in the armco after all.unless i put it there lol

but what i wont do is let someone run my car up the strip when they wont run their own.unless of course their own car is a rare and precious piece of motoring history, thats unreplaceable......which lets face it.these 'only clios' arent

Well that silly, as if something breaks on a 1/4 mile its more than likely already on its way out. No one is going to break a new clutch with one run down the 1/4 mile. So IMO anything that breaks is old. Hence why i wont pay for anything that does break.

northy
16-06-2005, 11:06
Rob, Rach has offered you the chance to honour your bet...can u beat her best time of the day in one run....you recon its so easy then why are you making such a big deal out of it.

Its over in 15seconds anyway - doubt anything will brake tbh at the speeds we do.

If you have no intention of coming can you allow this topic to go back on track. !

KingStromba
16-06-2005, 11:09
Look mate, she hasnt responded to my bet. She said cash, i said semi naked running. Up to her to say if she fancies running up the strip half naked. Supose thats all down to whether she thinks shes kept herself in trim or not.

I didnt make the challemge mate. Rach is the one who challenged me. Maybe you should ask her to get back on topic.

Stromba, I wasnt online late last night, i let my other half(mike from www.msmotorsport.co.uk) have a read for his amusement and I havent been on all day as unfortunately i have work to do.

I am not sure if Santa Pod will let people just run up the strip i will have to check on that. Otherwise we will come to some other forfeit for the loser.

If anything is going to break it'll break with me driving i have a habit of breaking things. One thing i will say though is if you crash it into the wall you pay for it to be repaired as thats not down to mechanical failure thats down to the driver. Fair ?

So we will see you at Santa Pod on July 16th then yes ?

So we can return this topic back to the subject now ? Pm me if you want to reply to me directly.

KingStromba
16-06-2005, 19:10
Hey if i bin it into the wall, i could take you to court for making me tie my hand in front of my body, and the circuit for letting me drive in a dangerous sport one handed.

Doubt youll be bothered about me repairing your car when the feds ship you into jail :wink:


But seriously, find out about running semi-naked. I will contact the local paper if its on and get some coverage.

i'll bet £10 Rob that you cant beat her time. failed runs and breaking the car will mean you failed to do what you set out to do. you HAVE to BEAT her time on the day... but that should be easy enuff eh? :lol:
