Are there any pod vids/pics up yet?
- Thread starter clio_zak
- Start date
Was a quality day, had an early start (6.30am) got to the services for 7.30 ish, saw scott-16v on the way and breezed past him. Got the convoy going and on the road for about 7.45am. Got to location 2 for around 8ish and met up with my mate and another clio. Then set of again straight away and got to pod for around 9ish.
However because it was frosty the track wasnt dry and wasnt dry til about 12.30 - 1 o clock which was pants, altough getting there early meant we was 3rd in the queue.
Anyway my first run (against scott) was appauling, the lights went all funky, i stalled
and scott sat on the line for 8 seconds, then we went and classed it as a void run :lol: :roll: I ran 19.1
Second run was against a kit lotus super 7, he absoluly hammered me, i got a better time than my first run tho. i ran 17.2.
Last run which was against scott again was very close, i ran 16.8 and he ran 16.6, i had him all the way until right at the line and i ran out of revs in 3rd gear where as his 16v kept going. I dont think i did to bad and im quite please i can stay up with a valver clio.
We was going to get another one in but the track marshalls where messing about loads so we went home instead, so got 3 runs in all to gether.
I only took a few pictures as it was very cold, i took one film inside the car but it didnt really work as the camera points upwards and the wiper gets in the way... (plus it shows me stalling)
However we rented a proper digital video camera, we are currently sorting it out as we recored about 10gb of racing, we are sorting out the clios and trying to smallen the files as 1 race is about 12mb at the moment.
They should be uploaded tonight tho
anyway here are a couple of pics that i took whilst waiting to start.

Check out this one, it shows you how fecking cold it was with all that frost on the ground.
I also did 3 runs, a 15.5, a 15.3 and finally a 15.1 just pipping an Integra Type R by 0.08 of a second.
Next time I will take my back seats, spare wheel and sub out which should get me into the 14s

The guy with the carbon bonnet Monaco Blue 172 ran with my m8 in his Polo, absolutely battered him. He spoke to him after the run and it has throttle bodies putting out around 225BHP he did a 14.1 run at 101mph.
Sounded the nads too. I would have had a video of it my camera batteries hadnt given up the ghost just after the run started :dead:

The car has run 14's before. If it was warmer it could do all day long. I was spinning in first, second and third but still managed 15 dead. I have a paddle clutch so its either on or off. When it bites it bites hard and the car normaly spins up. Well gay! Cant wait till the summer though!!
