[m4tt274]

i had to sieve through a fair bit to find the prices, just to confirm, 4pm-9pm is £10, 9am-9pm £30, 9am-4pm £20? Is that right.

I will be up for the 4pm-9pm i would think in the clio.
Do you think it will be busy enough to warrent paying early or will it be fine on the gate?

 

[jicholasnackson]

I'm interested in running a non-clio. A mate might come as well.

I wont be accepting payments. I am going to suggest doing it through Santa Pod themselves as it saves me a lot of hassle. Obviously then the payment will be between you and the company so that if they send tickets or a band...it will get to your home address rather than mine and then I send it on.

 

[tom172cup]

Looks to be a good little turn out anyone fancy a go at a CS bracket race?

[DaveDreads]

We could do bracket racing, i'm up for it.

​Although i'm more into handing people their arses.........inch or a mile.

 

[jamo_182]

I'm in as long as I've got the cash do you lot convoy down ?

 

[DaveDreads]

I think people will be showing up through out the day as the track's open for 12 hours,
​I don't think my tyres will last that long. lol

 

[tom172cup]

Im aiming to get there for 8.30 till close. would be good to have a little comp as everyone has got a fair chance at bracket racing

Each driver picks an E.T. to which they think the car will run to. So say you had a turbo'd clio who thinks he can do 13s up against a standard clio dialed in at 15s.

The slower of the two cars will get the green light first, in this case the 15s clio would leave first with the 13s clio having a 2s wait.

First one to cross the line and within their dail-in time wins. If you go too quick then you 'break out' and the other guy wins.

It's all on reaction times really, as a holeshot win is possible. This is where the car runs a slower E.T. but wins due to a faster reaction time at the start.

 

[DaveDreads]

I think i'd rather just have straight up racing than handicap/bracket races,
last time I beat a few faster cars because my launches and changes were better,
drag racing isn't all about power, the underdogs can stick it to better cars on occasion.

 

[Habitual]

I think I'd do bracket racing against some of the quicker / slower cars. Not against other Clios though.

 

[Habitual]

So, when are people booking?
