hmm was a poor day for runs :cry:

Shit showing by me too, 14.6 is poor, shame really as its gonna prolly be the last time the Willy is gonna see the strip.

Fookin ran out of petrol on way home too, was well pissed off, as I decided to leave early and convoyed solo, was a bit of a bastard...lol

ran out at that train crossing, luckily there is a pub there, so I went in played dumb about the where abouts of the petrol station, random woman in pub offered me a lift to garage to get some juice, quick turn around, only delayed me about 15 mins.....very kind of her :D

tbh york is crap...im going to be traveling further to reach pod i think.

Ran 15.2 my first ever time at york, then a 14.89 at pod a few months later.

Was pleased to get a PB of 14.91 @ 93 yesterday - but was running 15.5's - 15.1's on the runs i had. traction was non existant and the americans were ruling the day.

6 runs all day then the rain stopped play is really bad.

last time for me at york aswell. they need to raise their game.

Cause York is a pile of shite, they give preference to the massive amount of 5 american cars, having to wait hour and half between runs, I managed 4 runs by 4.15ish, fooking crap. Miserable stewards, shit organisation, crap venue, expensive burgers, shit commentary, all to together a piece of shit.

There must of been over 150 Hot Hatch type cars there, compared to the 10 or so American ones, they were letting the Amercian cars do 2 runs consecutive at some points, while we waited.

Plus it's getting boring now, 30 quid to wait around for ****in ever, not thanks, not for me, I'm not saying never ever, but for the forseeable future, they ain't getting my money, use it towards the track days.

sounds like a not brilliant day........oh well.some decent times put down anyway.



i know yorks a bit shit, but same shit can hapen at pod..poorly organised, not run in wet, queueing for hours on end, 3 runs all day etc etc etc.....all happens at pod too lads...lol

and pods a quicker strip.......or is this the REAL reason lol.

hehe, no I don't think I'll bother with either anymore. But I do agree, I bet Pod can be a pile of shit too, but at least they smile when they are bending you over for cash :P

tbh i did a 14.89 at pod and a 14.91 at york (.02 of a second differance)...so i recon the two tracks are very very similar...but pod is so much cleaner than york. and the consistant times show.

p.s The time at york was run in the lane normally reserved for the american cars. (far right)

in the past pod has always been slower for me, but they have apprently put down a better surface this year?

in the nana, was runnin 14.1 all day at york, couldnt beat 14.3 at pod with LOADS of runs and good conditions too!

Weird as I have only ever done 2 or 3 2.2 60ft times at york in all the runs I've done there (around 80ish)...went to pod and ran 18 2.2 in 22 runs!! The times followed suit...1 14.0 at York, 6-7 in one day at Pod. Guess we'll see the difference when we go down in october.

Craig
26-09-2005, 15:40
was that this year tho mate? iv been told they have put a much better surface down for this year! but iv not actually been since last year like!

Martin
26-09-2005, 15:42
aye this year... the surface was really good...Russ did a quicker time at pod this year too so maybe they've pulled their finger out..

Craig
26-09-2005, 16:23
yeh sounds like it! york times used to be slightly quicker tho im sure of it!

the surface was crap at pod!

might go down nxt week

Still had fun day

The 14.3@99mph was run in (my) standard road spec :P

My first run was my best......crazy :?

Don't think it helped the strip the fact it rained over night
