:driver: :driver:
-
put me down for that, never got to go up the strip today :sad:, due to being a braindead idiot and forgetting my licence!!
:signIWS:
I was itching to get on the strip :party:
-
Gooooooooooood lad!!! Good to meet you today too! :happy2:
-
^^ likewise matey :happy2:

I'm hoping I can make this. On a saturday too, which should make life a little easier.
-
Ooooh, this is a possible for me too :happy2:
-
I'll be there :jumpmove:
-
Could be tempted :evilgrin:
-
Count me in :smiley:
-
Nice!! Should be another good day, with hopefully warmer weather and no snow/rain/any form of precipitation!! :jumpmove:
-
Obviously, this invite is to all, and not just those who want to run up the strip! Be good to see anyone from the forum - regardless of whether they want to run! :happy2:
Although I appreciate that paying £10 entry may seem pointless to those that have no interest in running!
I'll bump this up nearer the time, as its a long way off at the moment!
-
I should be on for this :rolleye:
-
Ill be there, hopefully with a new clutch and exhaust :happy2:
-
i'll be there, don't want to miss this one too !! :signLOL:
-
hwo much does it cost?? £25?
-
hwo much does it cost?? £25?
£10 entrance fee then £25 for unlimited rags runs up the strip :happy2:
-
i might be tempted, depending if im on shift.
-
For once i'm going to have to turn a Pod day down, as I am going on 30 -130 day the weekend before, Fast show @ Pod the week after and GTI Fest @ Pod the weekend after that.. :surprised: Mrs will be well happy as it is.. :grin:

-
GF will insist on coming, and then be bored and the cost, so not sure yet.. well see.
-
Gah! I may or may not be able to make it now. Will update you guys. Plus even if I do go, I need to find eight missing horses before the day.
-
Anyone taking stuff out of their car for this??
Im debating taking out the sub and the back seats....
-
I haven't decided about taking stuff out of the boot yet :confused:
The sub will be coming out again though. :evilgrin:
-
Yeah i should really take the sub out, but i hate driving without it. Everything seems so dull and flat!! :evilgrin: :evilgrin:
-

Apart from the car, which will be more sprightly and nimble :wink:
-
should be on for this now, and just noticed the bp garage close to the pod sells the new 102 ron fuel!! :evilgrin:
anyone tried it yet? they claim some rather impressive gains on modifiedn turbo cars, all for a reasonable £2.40 ltr :rolleye:

well considering that normal super costs c90p ltr at the mo I should hope that its as fresh as a daisy
will give it a wizz anyway :driver:

109 is where its at! :wink:
Anyways you guys are going to end up with a sneaky test before the 29th!! Jeeez...
-
Oh dear, Saturday forecast of light rain............in which case I won't be going!
Will keep an eye on it, and make a decision on Friday when the latest weather reports are out! :wink:
-
I'll be keeping a close eye on the weather too :happy2:
-
Just seen it again, and it says that rain will come in overnight on Friday and be present during the morning of Saturday. It should brighten up mid-late afternoon.
Lets hope that things change! Am I right in saying that the strip is closed during rain??
-
yes, rain = closed
-
Thought I remembered reading it somewhere! Thanks for the clarification :happy2:
-
snow = closed, as i found out last time :grin:
if its a nice day tomorrow and i wake up at a reasonable hour then i may come down for the afternoon :smiley:
-
Hmmm, not raining at the moment.
Looks like I'll be waiting until the morning to find out if I'm going. :confused:
-
Well it's stoped raining here (i am 15 miles ish) from the POD, but the local weather on the TV was mixed for tomorrow.
If it's dry will be down just after lunch :driver:
-
Im deffo going no matter what weather is like, aint got sh*t else to do! afterall I wanna race (and beat) chris in my 'standard' GTI :laugh: :driver: :P
-
http://www.metcheck.com/V40/UK/FREE/today.asp
Now do I swap my BBS CH's with 235 section rubber for lighter TD's with 225 section rubber?
-
im not gonna make it, im soooo tired this week and had a hetic day, plus with the chance of rain and cost after my remap, its against me, maybe nex ttimeee.. have fun guys!
-
Missus is away this weekend so may even pop down myself if the weather holds out.. :wink:
-
Missis has just reminded me that I was told I needed a helmet if I went again :scared:
Anyone got one at short notice?
-
Just stay in the left lane and youll be fine mate.. :wink:
-
Sounds good everyone. I'll be there from around 10:30! :driver:
-
Missis has just reminded me that I was told I needed a helmet if I went again :scared:

I got a crosser lid, but might look a little weird :laugh: be there about 11-12ish
-
It has rained here in Sheffield overnight, but it is clear now.
Going to risk it and come down anyway. Hopefully it will not be too packed and those who turn up will get quite a bit of practice even if the times aren't there.
I'm leaving the "heavy" wheels on today, just to see what effect they have on grip, accelleration, speed. 60' times etc. :happy2:
Setting off around 7.30am, which means I'll be there around 10am if the traffic isn't too bad.
-
should be a great day today guys, weather forecast...PERFECT!!!, get some good times today, and no excuses if you cant control your traction :wink:
-
I definitely coming now so will be seeing you all up there around after lunch :driver:
-
Back from the POD and can offically say ive lost my 'drag' virginity! Am now hooked, went up strip 5 times and my best 14.84 - not too shabby for a completly standard manual GTI. I can also confirm Hurdy is a 'strip addict' after 21 runs :driver:(weirdo! nice to meet you tho chap, great car in the flesh too, love the CF!!!) :laugh:
Not the best turnout of mk5's, only 5 of us but good weather and GOOD old fashioned fun :P
-
:(
-
Hurdy is a 'strip addict' after 21 runs :driver:
How the hell did he manage that?
Either he got there stupidly early or he pushed everyone out the way! :signLOL: :driver: :driver: :driver:
-
Just got home, my best run was 14.126!!!!!!!!! I was so happy with it. I achieved that on my final run, where i think i really got the start nailed. So i think if id had a few more times I could have gone into the 14.0..'s. Still think with a bit more practice a sub 14s time is easy for a mapped GTI!
More details, photos, videos to follow later.
Ben, Steve, Dan, John - great to see you again. :happy2:
-

It was dead! You could do a run, then come back and be back on the strip within about 2 minutes! Perfect day really.
I got there at 11:30, and John had done about 12 runs already!
I did 15 in total.
He had an issue with his gearbox at the end, so i hope he got back ok.
P.S. I beat Hurdy on one run...................... :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin: :evilgrin:

Ben, Steve, Dan, John - great to see you again. :happy2:
Good run there chris, I must of left before you pulled that one out of the bag! the best I saw you do was a 14.4, as my mummys always said 'practice makes perfect'! Nice to see you again mate :happy2:
-
what times did Hurdy run if you beat him chris???
-
He was mid-low 13's Steve, the run I beat him on he had a problem with his DSG - it got stuck in 2nd on the limiter! :grin: :grin: :grin:
A win is a win nonetheless hahaha!
Nah, we had a couple of other runs with eachother and he dominated me! :happy2:
-
perfect conditions today, must be that i could do a sub 14 in the right conditions.
Gutted i couldnt go :sad:
What did our Ben manage?
-
When I was ther Ben was managed a 13.37, but I don't know if he beat that after I left.
I enjoyed myself immensely.
I think I've worked out why the DSG was sticking in second though. It must be something to do with the Sport mode. It happened 3 times, the worst one being where I was going up against Ben and it wouldn't come out of second and when I backed off it went into 3rd but would only limp to just over 2k revs :sad:
Needless to say I'll be using manual and Drive from now on. The fastest two times I managed were both using Drive, with traction control ON and not using launch :surprised:
21 times is a bit of a record for me and when I got to the gate I only had 10 miles left on the range :scared:
Great to see those who turned up and StevieP, who was just arriving as I left.
I'm off for a few jars with the missis in a bit, so excuse any rants I have later tonight (if I'm in a fit state to type :grin:)
-
man now i am gutted... a clear day and empty .... :sick:
-
Managed yet ANOTHER 13.2 in the end John when I went up against a rapid SC'd stripped CTR which pipped me.. :sad: :grin:
Conditions were fairly normal really, was a fairly strong wind blowing across the track, but nothing to bad and I was running similar (if not slightly slower on average) times to our day on the 1st Feb..
Hat's off to WhiteGTI and Rascal though.. Cracking times for K03's, especially the standard one.. :surprised: Seems that some of our DSG boys need to pull there fingers out.. :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL:
Highlight of the day for me was this run against a 500+bhp Supercharged Mustang...

(And I fooked my run up :grin:)..
-
Can't make it out, did you beat him Ben?
-
It was dead! You could do a run, then come back and be back on the strip within about 2 minutes! Perfect day really.
:sad: :sad: :sad:
Wish I could have gone. The only thing that's cheering me up is the prospect of getting my mitts on some monza IIs.
-
good to meet you ben, great fun too see you spank it up the strip, nice car you got there and very quick too :driver:
-
Can't make it out, did you beat him Ben?
yeah, looks very close!!?
-
Good to see you all there today guys, and glad to hear the car make it home ok John, it all sounded it a bit scary when I arrived :happy2:
It was nice to get in some runs as I won't be around for Spring Festival on the 29th.
My best run of the day was a 13.8 @ 102mph :happy2:
I did get a couple of odd timed runs though, one which I had my best start recorded a terminal speed of 121mph but a slower time of 14.1 mph :confused:
Here's a vid's and few random pictures from the day.

Vtec on a solo run: -
-
nice time whiteGTI :happy2: Id better get my a** down there soon :party:
(not until I get my engine mounts sorted though)
sounds like you all had a great day :happy2: jealous as i was out shopping and in garden centres :confused:
-
I'm going to try and knock something together with my runs and see if I can work out if the car deteriorates over the day or not (or if it is just my pants launch method :ashamed:)
-
I couldn't come - the car is not running right. Serious issues with the Air-Fuel ratio after 4k rpm means that it runs lean. I have to take it back to JKM next week - it was there for 2 days this week but they couldn't resolve it after many tests and runs... its currently running Stage 2+ with boost set to 1 and 255bhp. But I cannot redline it atm. :sad:
-
Looks like you had a good day guys! If I would have come today I would have been single so it wasn't worth it :grin:
Hurdy.....21 TIMES!! That is crazy! :surprised:
Some very impressive times from the KO3 GTI's aswell. Hope to see a few of you there on the 29th :happy2:
-
Can't make it out, did you beat him Ben?
Yes mate, just! We got off the line together then mine bogged down going into 2nd and he got a lead, but after that I started to catch him and nipped passed him before the line.. :signLOL: No way is it 500+bhp though, even though it should be and he says it is.. :confused:
Oh and Steve where did vanish to? Came looking for you when we left, but you had gone, just your car on it's own.. :confused:
Oh and cheers for the disc mate, bob on.. :happy2:
-
^^^ I had poped up to the stand to watch the drag car have a run, and sh*t was that thing loud :scared:
-
some awesome times there chris :happy2: cant wait to get my ass down there now :smiley:
-
Here are some photos / videos :smiley: :smiley: If you look closely you can spot my nice new low stance! Thanks to the Bilsteins! :jumpmove:

This Renault was getting in the 11's I think!

These were my two friends that I brought with me. The Megane is an R26, and wasn't getting anything below 14.5. The Clio is a standard 172, and it was getting around 14.8

This was the run where I beat Hurdy :evilgrin:
Then this was when Hurdy beat me..... :evilgrin:
This was Steve P and I, it was a pretty close race
This is Ben and Steve P
:happy2:
-
last one looked like a steveP victory against Ben??! :signLOL:
-
last one looked like a steveP victory against Ben??! :signLOL:
:signLOL: Close but no cigar :signLOL: Yeah wasn't my best run have to say(in fact was worst of the day :ashamed:), but going 1st to 3rd took care of that :ashamed: (ask Hurdy, he did the same earlier on :grin:). Fair play to Steve though and nice to see another ED30 in the 13's. I pretty sure he will go a little quicker with a few more runs under his belt too (ie GTI Fest)..
Mine and Steve's run..

-
cant believe that mustang, all the power and no go :signLOL:
-
That was the strange thing Joe. I bogged down in second after some hideous wheel hop and he got a lead on me at which point I thought game over. But as the speeds got higher I started to creep up on him and passed him just before the line. That thing should really romp once over 80mph, even if it does weigh umptifourmillion tonnes.. :grin: Just strange :confused:
Never mind, i'm sure he'll be rushing to tell his mates that he got done by a family german 2.0l 4 pot hatchback.... :signLOL:
