was very wet and slippy.. but i couldnt run anyway. was good watching all the RWD cars fishtailing all the way down the strip

Aye only 15.5 but at something daft like 106 mph. Was a real shame that the weather was so bad as it wasnt too busy (but probably the rain put people off!)

Im no expert but if i was wanting an undisputed 1/4 mile time i would be visiting santapod in front of the other 2 venues.
York and santa pod times do seem to differ. There is lots of evidence around various car forums that cars run slower at pod than they do at york or crail.
The above is just your opinion craggy and there are tonnes of people who will disagree with your opinion. I have read lots of threads stating that there is a difference. Run at pod and no-one can dispute, is what i believe.
now then crag, long time no see
mitchy - you seem like one of those people who seem to think santa pod is the only place to go.. and only their times are accurate and undisputable
let me guess you have a set of rollers in your head that are the only ones that are accurate too?? and all others are crap?
anyway, pic as posted on Migweb of the other supra that dinged it

Not at all Guy!
I just think from reading tonnes of threads on various car forums that santapod is indeed slower than the other 2 venues. Nothing wrong with having an opinion is there? If i ever go 1/4 miling it will be at santpod so numptys like me cant dispute it
I dont suppose you ran 14.7 @ york
Nippy white cup
lol so because Santa Pods times are slower they are more accurate? Hmm Seems logical I suppose
yeah but ask yourself this, do the FIA dragsters use pod or york.....................

...and do both strips look a bit homemade?
lol - its all good fun though!
FIA use santa pod, they COULD use york,crail nuff said
probably has something to do with facilitys, strip etc as well
The run off at York is to short to hold FIA events iirc

Is the TT at the ring?
20VT Clio & 9-5 HOT
iv run many times at both venues. over 2 weeks i did both, and run 14.3@pod and 14.4@york.
2 weeks later went to york again, but the conditions were absolutely ideal, thats when i ran 3 x 14.1s, all with a 5th change just before the line.
york IMO has a much better start line surface and you can choose between 2 types of surface too. pod is too slippy, york is like a normal road surface!

Eh those times are impossible Craig...the time is quicker at the pod?!
And if the Pod is sooo good why is the start line traction so much better at York? I would love to run at the pod but I aint travelling all that way just to sit in a huge queue and get two runs. Probably better times at york because you get more runs and get better at it.

Well ladies when I left today Matt was running 14.1 and he was still running, which is a fookin good time for you bitches who didnt venture out from your keyboards, to experience it for yourselves.
The only boys getting good time today were the 4wd cars
Check the pic my car was clean when it went it to York, shows how sh*tty and muddy it was, plus a blantent chance to put up a pic of my car

13.8 @ 110mph was my best on road tyres ( to wet for slicks ) - the track was wet and muddy and i was spinning in 1st / 2nd / 3rd and got traction in 4th.
I have 100% confidence in knowing i will see 115 in the 12s this year..............easy ( in the dry !! - lol )
Good time with a nice terminal.
That would put 100 at around the 11.5-12sec mark
I know this may sound stupid, but have you tried for experiments sake 1st-2nd-4th? Or 1st-3rd-4th??
Someone tried it on seatcupra.net and with the low down torque of the 1.8t it did make a difference. It was a 40-100 run only done in 4th gear as opposed to using 2nd/3rd and 4th. It was around 0.8-1sec quicker than using all 3 gears. It may be worth a shot as traction in 2nd/3rd is troubling you.
j3ned, does your box require you to go into 5th gear to finish the 1/4 or can you do it at the tail end of 4th?
