Am I right in saying that we do not need to organise insurance for going on the strip??

Also, do we have to run it on the strip, or can we simply enter and spectate?

minitorque.com are going n they are sorting a stand out and dont mind doing a mk5golfgti/minitorque joint stand.
Should be a goof laugh, i know most of them personally and they are top lads, some of their minis are very very quick up the strip too :driver:
A few of them aiming for the 12's next year as they are hitting consistent mid-low 13's.
Hope to get mine into mid 13's, just need a good 60ft time and need to find out the best shift points.

ROFL!

I've improved drastically now.

Takes a bit of getting used to going from a mk4 fiesta to a mkv golf gti. Damn thing's wider than my dad's merc!

Wasn't too bad at stafford. Problem was positioning for the line up, not parking into a spot!

Yes mate thats me. It was at a rwyb event with me running stg2 and full milltek but i didnt get on until late and the track was very slippy my 60ft was around 3.1 which should be around 2.4 with a good launch. My best is a 14.02 @ 104.77. Thats just with stg1 revo and my first time at pod, I got that time in the summer though so was getting better 60ft times.

If i can get a good 60ft im confident in getting mid-high 13's :evilgrin:

So,

I think that for people going down the strip, we ought to do a challenge, a little like what we did with the RR day at Awesome.

Everyone has to give an estimate of their best time and terminal speeds to 100th of a second / 100th mph and the furthest one out pays some kind of forfeit, the closest gets a prize.

Also the one with the slowest reaction time gets a forfeit/ OAP prize of some sort.

Whaddya reckon? :jumping:

Ben do you think we need to contact the pod and tell them that we are having a meet of over 25 cars and most of them want to go down the strip together. I have never been and dont know anything about the set up there.  :chicken:

Post by: Sunglasses Ron on December 16, 2008, 12:03:21 pm

Not really mate.. If it's just a standard RWYB day (which it is), then it won't be that busy to be fair, so we should all be able to get plenty of runs in. You would still get a decent amount of runs in if it was mid summer, so long as it's not a show day. But earlier on in the year (when there's more chance of the weather being pants and cold) it's quite a bit quieter..
That said, if you want to play extra safe, then there would be no harm in giving them a bell to double check I suppose. But should be fine.
I for one will only be running about 4 maybe 5 times max, so should easily get those in.. For the ones that get addicted (which is easily done) and can't get enough. Just make sure you are there early doors..  :happy2:

Because i will be in your passenger seat.  :driver:

Did you not hear about me arriving at the start as a passenger and then (half) mooning at the crowd when I had to get out?

Someone else has already suggested it, but why not a 'Best Of Three' runs between Joe and Phil?

Hurdy against the winner?

A couple of other guys are thinking of a match, so there could be a second round?

Is it likely to be a busy day with others outside our forum using the Strip?

Just looked at the theory stats

CS should be 12 dead up the qtr. :drool: :drool:

To do that in a GTI you would need nearly 500bhp :driver: :signLOL:

or 400bhp and the car would have to weigh less than 1000kg :xmasrolleyes:

But might it get a bit too crowded if it's an open day at The Pod? We wouldn't want to compromise our own forum's shoot-outs. I'm just think out aloud :undecided:

Title: Re: 2nd Mk5GolfGTI Meet - Sun 1st Feb Santa Pod
Post by: Sunglasses Ron on December 30, 2008, 11:04:46 am

I thiink we would need to be getting about 40 or so cars from each forum for it to even slightly get TO crowded Red as IMO it will be a fairly quiet day for the general Pod attendies (not a show day nor first oof the season). But I understand the concern as you can never predict who will be there really..
Just thought it would make things interesting if we got 10 or so VXR's/R32's (for eample) to attend. Bit of forum banter and all that..  :wink:

I'm getting worried about attending The Pod, what with stealth having wet dreams and Ben's nightime activities!!

Otherwise, should I revise the image as I suggested? - It's not necessary but does add visual impact.

I would post my proposal here for approval first. It's easily and quickly done.

...with stealth having wet dreams...

It wasn't a wet dream!

Three of us turned up late (me, RR and someone else) to the Pod (it was 5pm). VW for some reason fitted all GTIs with one wheel smaller than the rest - a 17.5 " alloy on the right rear offside. Because everyone else was early, they managed to fit a temporary 18" alloy+tyre. RR and the other person paid to have a temporary 18" fitted. I thought 'fudge this' and went and bought an 18" pescara so all four wheels were the same.

I blame it on the dominos pizza I had last night.

I think its a good idea to invite as many other hot hatches as possible to have a shootout.
Minis are already coming and if we can get r32, megane sport, astra vxr and focus st etc then it will be awesome.

Now that people have started to register interest, which 'team' are those who are on several of the forums in competition going to be loyal to?

For example, Nathan, if you are driving for this forum you shouldn't be listing yourself on the R32OC forum.

Anyone said to the other forums that we are keeping our seats etc in the cars?

If we are having a "Hothatch deathmatch" over the 1/4 then I highly doubt everyone else will keep their full kit in the car!

Are we keeping it casual or are we going to have a record of all the runs?

Should everyone register with Santa Pod for the Street challenge 2009? If you do you automatically get your best time posted on the Santa pod website along with a ranking.

Not a bad idea mate, but I think you'll struggle to get everyone on the same playing field in regards to spec and interior stripping.
I for one will be in road trim and may take them out later in the day if I can be arsed..  :smiley:
Will leave it a few weeks till we get confirmed names and then start to try and sort some sort of table etc and will ask the guys to register on the CC challenge..  :wink:

For a while, people were worried that Launch Controls were all logged and were limited, but time has proven otherwise.

However, it will stress your clutches and drivetrain, but so will doing The Pod anyway (which is why I ain't doing it).

Have run mine at Pod twice and Inters once with a total of about 12 runs in the Ed30 and never had a problem in the 22k it's done now. But it doesn't really get driven hard 90% of the rest of the time, so probably equals out nicely..
If you have DSG Billyboy, then I would do (like me) about 4-5 runs and leave it at that, as unless you proper light up, your times will be consistant as can be... So not much point in trying to get a big improvement, as propably won't happen..
The only reason i may do a few more runs is if people want to run against me..

It might be worth formulating a plan B just incase the weather halts play  :sad: Can anyone recommend somewhere nearby we could all meet? Say a pub with a Huuuuge car park?

Don't want to be negative but if were all there/on the way we may as well have a quick chinwag and a gander at some fine cars  :happy2:

we need to sort out where we are all meeting up before entering the pod, then everyone needs pm'ing the details.

Hello chaps, we've had an invite over on www.focusstoc.com from 'VTEC Abuser'.

Thread here:  http://www.focusstoc.com/forums/Santa-Pod-Forum-Shootout-t38909.html&hl=Santa++Pod

Is this a standard RWYB day or has it been booked up specifically for the inter-forum meet?

Depending on work and other commitments I hope to be there.  I'm 'Funk' on FocusSToc as well.  I think there's a load of VXR boys coming too so it should be good fun (as it's all straight lines, they should have a chance of doing ok..) ;)

Anyone said to the other forums that we are keeping our seats etc in the cars?

If we are having a "Hothatch deathmatch" over the 1/4 then I highly doubt everyone else will keep their full kit in the car!

Are we keeping it casual or are we going to have a record of all the runs?

Should everyone register with Santa Pod for the Street challenge 2009? If you do you automatically get your best time posted on the Santa pod website along with a ranking.

http://www.rwyb.co.uk/cc_introduction.php

Such a lot more to think about now we are going for a bit of competition

EDIT:- Just registered myself for the 2009 Street Challenge

If you add your name to this challenge then surely youve saved your space incase its busy??

Cheers joesgit.   :wink:

Not really a shame about the car, it's been brilliant.  Don't think I didn't look carefully at the GTI/CupraR/CTR/VXR before putting the money down on the Ford.  Two reasons why; the 5-pot growl reminds me of the old Audi urQuattro rally cars and sounds immense, secondly Ford really upped their game with the mkII Focus and I really couldn't see where the extra £4k Volkswagen wanted for an equivalent-spec GTI went.  I'm not going to get into an argument about which is best as they all have their strengths and weaknesses.  Ultimately life would be boring if we all drove the same thing.  :wink:

The ST's off soon anyway to be replaced by a 123d M-Sport with some extra toys on it..  Can't wait, it's a properly good car!

Not sure yet Luca.  My earlier link to the thread on the STOC has a list of folks.  I'm sure the weather will play a key role in how many attend, too.  No point rocking up in a powerful FWD hot-hatch if it's pissing with rain.

To those who've postulated about the removal of seats, spare wheels and spare children, I would think that this is highly unlikely as we're really only there for a giggle and a bit of inter-forum banter.  Although I've heard that if you fold the rear seats flat...

I have just compliled a spreadsheet on Excel which will have a table of all the runners with user name, spec, forum, est time and speed, actual time and speed.. I will try my best to get everyone who runs on there and have the results for anyone to see after..
Just like to point out that this is by no means a willy waving contest, but just a good way of seeing how everyone got on..

But as i already mentioned, it will be a lot easier if everyone who is running registers on here..

Post by: WhiteGTI on January 21, 2009, 07:40:56 pm

Will get both the roof and bonnet back on - I absolutely loved the look!

The roof cut was just not as straight as I would have liked, and someone else I know in the trade told me that it could have been done a little better. So I requested that the roof was done again and they accepted! And as there were a couple minor points on the bonnet too, they said that they would just take them off together, and then re-apply them together!


So, the vinyl came off today (its a long story), and will probably get put back on on the 2nd !

Real shame it wont be on for the Pod !

So you want us to all fill our tanks to the brim with all that weighty fuel, just before we get to the pod eh Ben? :P
I suppose you'll just sit there with your quarter full tank watching them all :signLOL: :grin:

How much does a gallon of fuel weigh?

About 3.5kg, so fill your tank to the brim and you'll be carrying over 40kg in fuel.

Mine will be around half full or just under.

Post by: jonnyc on January 27, 2009, 01:01:41 am

Seems the chance of rain is fairly low according to the weather forecasts, and if the strip is in a NSE direction the wind should really help us too haha..

Having never been on a drag strip before, what is the surface like?

I know its glued but how much difference is there in grip levels to a normal road surface?

Title: Re: 2nd Mk5GolfGTI Meet - Sun 1st Feb Santa Pod
Post by: Hurdy on January 27, 2009, 01:46:11 am

The surface is extra smooth and just before the start line there is a "wet" area to pull a burnout in. Pulling the burnout will clean your tyres of crap for a better grip from the start line and is supposed to put some heat in the tyre and give even more grip off the line. In reality unless you have proper drag tyres you only get the benefit of the cleaned tyres - every little helps! but it is hard trying to do a burnout from the off in a DSG.

In low temperature the strip can cool off and give the effect of greasiness like Ben mentions, which for bigger HP cars isn't good for the overall times. If it is near freezing conditions then times will be roughly half a second slower than a nice warm day equivalent - unless you light the tyres up from the start line and then you could be over a second slower!! :scared:

Get the handbrake on.. A LOT! Have the car sat on the rev limiter, dump the clutch in 1st gear.. smoke smoke smoke.. Release the hand brake all whilst spinning the wheels and leave a little bit of rubber down..

Ill be doing something very similar to this  :laugh:

Post by: luca on January 27, 2009, 08:41:56 pm

I have. Just dont lauch it hard or you will be spinning up the wheels badly. I launch from around 2krpm and shift up in first at around 5500-6krpm and then stretch all the gears until the finish.
Hold the handbrake on the line with the car ready to lauch and just let the handbrake go after the last amber light comes on :happy2:

Still not on the list bur definately coming - a mate of mine is in tow with a 450bhp Cerbera aswell - should be amusing - I'm hoping to be there by 10 - 1030 has anyone got a mobile number they can PM me so that I can find you and thus park in the appropriate place when  arrive - are you having a stand ?

Regards,

Gareth ... so excited to meeting everyone at last !

Last minute decsion from me too - Can't be arsed to read all 37 pages but I'm hoping nobody will mind if I turn up.

Also managed to drag along Hedge (ED30) and Chris Ellis (Octy II vRS)

We'll be going from the Fleet Services (M3) at around 0800 and if we're early (and given that Hedge and Chris both have heavy feet it is entirely possible) we might head out to the Tesco Meet if that's still happening.

Just posted in the other thread but I'll bring the VCDS if anyone needs it.

Bloody cold, didn't get to meet so many of you as  I would have liked but I think I spent of the time huddled up trying to keep warm or walking to the toilets. lol
