Sounds like it could be fun.

Where is the north/south divide?

Does it have to be a car?

Why what do you have in mind? A running race? I'm pretty fat so would lose that.

summeh
07-05-2009, 22:20
I think the divide should be pod... anything north and you bat for northern numpties.

I'd suggest the following format, modified from above suggestions:

1) 2 teams: North vs South
2) Each member puts forward his/her best time slip
3) All 'best' time slips (as per number 2 above) get added up and an average for each team calculated.
4) The team with the quickest/lowest average time wins.

You can't just run coops car to get the lowest average either :) Everyone attending should be able to have a go. Whether their car is standard or seriously modified. We should say minimum of 5 cars running on each team.

Shame I won't be running my 100 shot of nos... I just sold it to a northern numpty. :roll:

Jamie.
07-05-2009, 22:23
Need to have awards for fastest and slowest times too........ I will get a wooden spoon ready.

2 live
07-05-2009, 22:25
that would also depend on the no. of runs we get too tho.

iv been pod and got 2-3 runs all day, then iv been n had like 15-20 one after the other. swings n roundabouts.

what happens if someone nominated blows their car up 1/2 way down on 1st run?

Jamie.
07-05-2009, 22:27
Unlucky I say :wink:

If I do have a new car, is something non-french ok :wink:

Jamie.
07-05-2009, 22:41
So what are we saying for ppl like martin and totti then? It must be French? Or, as long as it is like for like i.e. hot hatch or circa performance basically not a drag Evo or Scooby?

richy
07-05-2009, 22:50
well imo should be french really at least, but if theres equal amount of other non french crap going from north/south then dont see why not.

summeh
07-05-2009, 23:11

It doesn't depend on any of that. I wasn't suggesting we nominate anyone either.

- everyone runs
- everyone puts forward their best time slip
- these get added together for each team and an average calculated

:)

That way it doesn't matter that south has only 5 cars, and north has say 20 cars. Only 1 run from each person is put forward.

If any car is ok then I vote Jordys scirrocco...in the 9's most probably so bikes can have a go if they like ;)

Jamie.
20-06-2009, 17:34
Yes mate.

Standard rules apply.

You cannot hire it out unless on a weekday which we won't be doing.

Per the thread will just be on an average time basis so doesn't matter who you go up against but will be nice to get some WC duels on the go but all just for the crack!

No matter if you stay or not but if like LA says you can get a room for £15 why break your balls to get there and back in a day!
