Haha you haven't seen it unprepped?!?

Lol! Do you realise how much it costs to glue and fully prepare?? As in the last time they did a major prep was wayyyyyy before I ran!

On a non main day believe me you'll feel the difference!

Either way it doesn't matter I was also running the stock tyres which if changed will help loads! A late 13 will be happening! Shall up load a pic of the slip later anyway

You used a very lose statement when said unprepped so it's difficult to see what you meant. I'm guessing you mean unprepped as in they did it that day but you ran after a few cars had run rather than unprepped as in they hadn't touched it at all.

Yeah I do realise the cost, going up there for the past 5 years and doing more than 250 1/4 mile runs you get to know the track and people pretty well

 

[dee_rz]

Fair do's I get you!

Haha however I also know and have you trumped in that department! I've been racing up pod for over 10 years and have probably done closer to 500+ runs! This little tsi is my baby car which I run every day that I do little bits to.

I have a considerably quicker and more expensive car that I tend to use a little more often ;-)

That being said I love this little Ibiza and it goes alright

 

[VRSLOZ]

Don't get me wrong with my reply, it's not about trumping someone or willy waving, just making a point I know the track and know how much it costs to prep it.

You will never get a fully prepped 1/4 mile track wherever you go, it's just not fessible. I do think though SP is the best 1/4 mile track in the country, having been to a couple you see how bad they can be!

 

[dee_rz]

Yeah but I have a big willy lol!

Yeah I get ya! It's kinda luck of the draw but if you go on a main day and not a Rwyb day they will glue it maybe 2-4 times rather than probably once and you'll notice the difference! Can probably help up to and as much as a few tenths! You really can feel it!

Yep totally agree! pod is the closest for me and I hit it the most!

 

[Jay1990]

Prepped or not Santa pod is the best/quickest quarter in the UK no? The rest are ran on corse concrete or airplane runways/that kind of thing?

Loz, why is your timeslip not up here yet? I don't see you on the leader board. I dropped to 11th :-(

 

[Jay1990]

Lol nah it's known that Santa pod is up hill and runs slower than most strips so it's a solid time! I will go back and Hopfully lay down a solid late 13! Plus I'm gonna do the whole shifting earlier thing too

Look forward to seeing how you do fella

Just to answer my own question few posts up I googled

Santa Pod remains the fastest all-asphalt dragstrip in the world since most North American tracks are partially or entirely concrete in construction.

Yes, good time, changing earlier will help but stay in 4th dont bother getting into 5th unless the car dose it(changes into 5th @ 101mph, mine does @ least)

Getting some lowering springs on mine as well so that should help a little with traction off the line as well, right guys? Less weight trasfer ect.

JC- 12th im up there too now

Still looking for my old time slip which would put me 3rd. Will have another go over summer. Should beat old time anyway

 

[ibizaracebrake]

Anyone else still got their race number on the rear window from GTi Inters? Or just me (how sad am I, don't answer that)

 

[Jay1990]

I did until about 2 weeks ago Lets people know what you've been up to

I want some vinyl that says my 1/4mile and 0-60 time- but again, thats sad lol

 

[ibizaracebrake]

Only just spotted a pic of my car in VW Driver mag - GTi Inters report August issue page 21. Forgot to buy from shop so have to get one through post. Also 2 Ibizas that were quicker than mine over the 1/4mile were bigger engined, 1.8T and 2.0T models. Roll on GTi Festival in Oct.

 

[Hurdy]

There's a RWYB on the 11th August. I quite fancy it as a lot of the VAGOC boys will be there.

Should have a few extra bits on the car......and off the car by then too, so should be a "bit" faster.

 

[Jay1990]

Where at Hurdy? York? My go up there n let you trounce my low 14/high 13 run that I will do lol

 

[Hurdy]

It is at Santa Pod from memory.

York would be better for me though as it is 1hr away instead of 2.
