Ultimate TVR Shootout - List of attendees
Discussion
I think we have a date set for UTS3.
Saturday June 1st at Santa pod.
Its an open RWYB day and the track will be available all day until 5:30 when the Classic Fords take over till 8pm ahead of their 10th anniversary Classic ford show on the Sunday.
For the uninitiated...
DOnt forget your driving licence and bring a helmet if you have one. Santa Pod dont demand you wear a helmet but i would recommend you have one. There are some available at the track i believe also.
Set off early. The last few miles take the longest. You really want to be there by 9am in time to sign on, get in the queue in the fire up lanes and relax and have a natter.
Talk to drivers around you about the startline procedure. The marshals will direct you anyway if you look a little lost or confused.
Roll slowly upto the starline, which is further from the tree than you may expect. Nudge the car forward till you light the first pre stage light, then just enough further forward till the second light is lit. STOP. Then when you see the other lanes stage lights lit the startline marshal triggers the tree.... amber light then green. Dont worry too much about reactions as it wont affect your ET. The timing doesnt start till you have set off and trigger the timing beam. Take it easy on your first runs, try to minimise wheelspin, no need to hit the rev limiter, Change gear swiftly and keep your foot down past the finish line gantry. Exit left and give way to the car in the left lane if you are i the right. You dont want to cut somebody up. If you miss the first exit gate carry on to the next one.
Return to the queue and get someone to get your timing ticket.
Now prepare to run a bit quicker.... enjoy.
