Spent the day at Santa Pod today for "The Fast Show" (I say the day but we didn't get in until 10:30 due to the sheer amount of cars!). I don't think I have ever seen Santa Pod that busy, so many people and cars!
Decided to run the 1/4 mile but the sign on office was closed until 12:30, not to worry, I'll pop back there at 12:25, that was a mistake! Had a look around the show, watched some 1/4 mile action (think I watched Hurdy!) and was walking near the sign on office at 12 noon and spotted an ever growing queue! Decided we needed to get in the queue if we were going to be able to get some track time. After a 20 minute wait the office opened and we were signed up and ready to go! Wasn't able to use my street challenge ID for this event so I ran B622 (B = FWD Charged).
First Race : Against a Pug 205 GTI that was stripped. Decided to turn the TC off for the first time since having the car and so glad I did. Managed to pip him to the line. He didn't seem too happy though, tried to muscle his way over my side after the finish line and spun up into a very large crowd, not impressed!!!
Second Race : Against an MR2 Turbo, he crossed the finish line first but my time was better
had the TC on.
Third Race : Against an S14 200SX or whatever they are called! Managed to beat the guy as he couldn't get off the line. Spoke to him after and he said he couldn't get traction as he had set it up for drift. TC OFF.
Last Race : Against a Civic Type R. Was actually looking forward to it as I thought it would be close as the power is very close but I blitzed him. TC OFF.
Very very happy with how the car performed today, my first run got me a new personnel best,
14.32 @ 96.52 MPH.
