They only allow VW to run on the day don't they??
Would I be able to bring a TT into the stand areas?? :ashamed:
I have pictures of Skodas & Audis on the strip from last year so not only VW, maybe only VAG. :confused:
I do seem to remember it being very busy last year so not many runs...
Rrrgh just had a look and I wont be able to make it.. Oops.. Maybes next time!

Hey it's not bad idea, we should have a aftermarket wheel section as well ( pram wheels included ). :signLOL:
^^^List for the clubstand. My car needs some painting before it's worthy of being on the stand.Oh...in that case mine isn't in club stand standard either!!!
Supprised More people havent come foward as yet, its nearly 2 weeks away.
I doubt a stand would be done, as i would of thought the organisers of the event now would of need to know what numbers and Club stand slot. Other forums have already set theirs up from what ive read? :confused:
Perhaps an Update please admin?
I am awaiting a call back to confirm our space.
If there's no stand how will I find you guys at the event? :ashamed:
You can add me on the list... don't know what is really involved so will need some basic guidance... :party:What time do I have to be there - and where do I meet?

Toddington is the first northbound services after the M25.
roadworks on M25 and M1 at the mo....50mph speed limits in place.Best to go M40, past Silverstone A43 if there are Roadworks then Lee??
you'll be doing well to get to pod in 2 hours from Southampton!
it looks like no one from here will be at toddy so I'll venture up by myself. :smiley:

Come on Stealth!
Come on Stealth!
I will do my best if I can weasel out of something else. Is it the one at the junction of the M42?
am back home!
dry day, bit windy so bit cold. Other than that was a good day out with plenty of cars on show.
Drag Strip was going well...think everyone got their fair share of runs.
Fastest when we left was Andy Waite's Mk1 doing a 9.9.
James H was 2nd in his Mk2 Golf or maybe Paul Jordan's Rocco. Can't remember.
Not too many Mk5 GTI's doing runs. GTIJames was ripping his up the strip all day, with a PD of 13.04. Soo close to getting into the 12's. Very consistent all day long.
Nick had a go and I think did mid to high 13's.
Good to see SteveP / Saint Steve + son / DomT / Greenouse / Markymark / GTIJames / Hedge / Wigit and couple of others.
Shame not many traders were there as plenty of punters were! busiest i've seen the show in last few years.
my fave was the blue with osir front and r32 ars!- looked so good!That sounds like mojo's car. I love the look of it too. I thought he had a resonated milltek? I'm sure he'll correct me thoug.
What exhaust is that mate?
good day out all, nice to catch up with you everyone :happy2:
did about 8 runs today and did not better my third run of the day which was 13.0477@ 112 (2.34 6oft) , did quite a few 13.1s and 13.2s and fastest trap speed was 113mph
wee bit disappointed i didnt make 12s but great fun trying
i think fastest mk5 was jabbalad who ran a 12.79 :notworthy: though he only had one seat it in which was a race seat
anyhow till next time :evilgrin:
put the card into my SD reader thingy and managed to delete them all, to say im a bit pissed off is an understatement.Don't use the SD card until you have downloaded something like handy recovery. I use this to get the files.

great to see every one had a nice time even the misses enjoyed herself! the funny car was awesome 0-300mph in 5 seconds! i took loads of really good photos and got some brilliant videos that we just watched on the telly, then i put the card into my SD reader thingy and managed to delete them all, to say im a bit pissed off is an understatement :sad1:Great time Nick.. :congrats: Told you you'd piss 13's with a few runs under your belt.. :happy2:
i got a 13.400 and terminal of 110. something
Make sure that you all post up in the 1/4 mile thread so I can update the leader board.. Sounds like the track was running pretty good times :smiley:
James: You got your tickets from today?
just your best run and your 13.1 mate. Be interesting to compare against mine.. :wink: Scan them or pics of them if you can. If not just the figures..James: You got your tickets from today?
yes 7 of them... what info you want from them
here you go benSome 1.2's will help too I reckon..

i really need to improve my 60ft times..
Was good to see a few of you today, sorry i didnt come over, i was quite ocupied on the stand and when i did go for a wounder i seemed to stop every few meters to talk to people :-)
Yep, my fastest time was indeed a 12.79 :smiley: was really pleased with that considering it hasnt got half the mods jonnys had to get a 12.6! I recon a 12.5 could be on the cards when i have fitted my diff, engine mounts, some 235 rubber, a better intercooler and got some more weight out! (all i took out was the lardy seats to fit the corbeau, and spare wheel)
Was a really good show tho, the most busy i have ever seen it!
BTW all your cars were soo clean and nice, it put mine to shame! haha :smiley:

I can't remember without going to the car, think I got 111 on a run, not sure if that was my fastest tho!
The only other mod that I haven't added to my sig yet is the autotech pump :-) we saw 350 bhp on the rollers but it gets hot quick, anywho it's all about the amount of usable power band and nice ammounts of torque over peak power! I think I'm going to wrap the intake pipe too after feeling how hot it was today! the poor little intercooler was struggling to keep it all cool! Haha
