Myself and Roger (S600XR) flew the flag and a great day was had by all.
Was a real hotty that day (day after Santa Pod) so speeds not good. Most at least 10-15 mph off usual.
I did a 176 and Roger a 175 and I think we were both in the top 15 ( out of 40ish runners)
Sophie managed a 142 in her Astra which I think is the best bang for buck out the box you can buy new.

Thanx for that Jez it was brilliant. Your car looked and sounded awsome. I think i'm gonna have to go to the next one. Looked like a wicked day. Dont know if i'd have the ball's to drive but i've gotta experience that
no spectators = you want to go you got to pay you drive
If you go I'd go as then it would be two fairly standard monaros to compare as well as the big boys Bonnie and Clyde said:
I'd defo be up for that. Stiggy yours aint standard anymore. This (again) may be a stupid question but do you still reduce tyre pressure on one of these days as you would on the 1/4 for traction. Would our standard CV8 handle the corners well and Traction on or off
running standard psi shouldnt be problem as its a totally different game to 1/4 mile. Traction on or off again should be down to your choice as its also down to how much speed you can carry out of the bend. I loved the 911 drifting but even he eventually cooked it and went for a bit of a trip in the grass!Stigmundfreud said:

I've watched the vid 6 times now and i cant see a Porsche going in the grass. Unless you meen the Black one about 9 mins into the vid and that did'nt look to bad. Am i missing something?
The one that came close to the camera and was rewound.
At a guess I`d say he was doing 80 as he fell off so there`s always the chance for damage.
With regard to tyre pressures, always run std... You`ll be doing upward of 150mph at the end of the runway so you really don`t want squidgy tyres.
Turn TC off as it has a habit of unsettling the car in the corners ( not that there are many. but Soph made me practically kak myself when she took me out in her Astra, nothing to do with TC, she`s just a bit scary.)

Oh i see which one you meen. Oh i guess that your aloud to take someone round with you then. Dont surpose there would be a chance of going around one with you Jez so as i can feel the power as a comparison to our stock CV8. As regards to Soph making you kak your pants i would possibly be able to understand your fear if you took me round

Prob be missing the next one.
Jez did'nt you mention possibly organising a day for us? I recon there would be enough interest from us on here. Col would be up for it to. I surpose thinking about it it would effect the speed having someone with you. Is that why you cant take passengers at Santa Pod? Or maybe its insurance reasons.
