The season opener at Shakey this year is the weekend of 28/29th March, who's up for it and what day will you be going? 1. Relfski (either day) 2. Stribo (either day)

I'm off on the 29th, may come and watch :)
If yellow one is ready... Then Yep I'll be there..
I am, as ever, hoping to be able to put in an appearance.
Ill be aiming to come down and lay a time down
I don't think I'ĺl be doing much this season. Just want to concentrate on getting the car finished.
May bring a bike and get a proper time
Should be there for the Sunday, not sure which in t-5r just depends on funds and time. Interesting to know what the Gul could do just for a comparison.....;)
I'll come along, you never know I may even put a time in lol

[QUOTE=stribo;758599]It's about time you ran your smoker. :P[/QUOTE] I know, but as it's a bit of an unknown tuning one of these and small issues keep popping up! All the T5 rules for what components hold what power don't apply when that power is 3000rpm lower down the Rev range lol. Hopefully the latest tune will be the one, less torque this time as 500nm at 2800rpm has a habit of busting things.
Should be ok for this mate
[QUOTE=WOODY T5;758612]Should be ok for this mate[/QUOTE] Be good to see you again Dean. :D
[QUOTE=T5frankie;758558]May bring a bike and get a proper time[/QUOTE] Ok Frankie will come down on mine then.
Just found this and think we may a new category, as this takes drag racing to a whole new level, up for it Jimbob, Smithy, Frankie and anyone else hgv positive [video=youtube_share;1BvEz7Oi1TU]http://youtu.be/1BvEz7Oi1TU[/video]
Feel sorry for the bloke in the middle lol
[QUOTE=Rnash2002;759550]Feel sorry for the bloke in the middle lol[/QUOTE] yer, the starting tree op, doesn't look that pleasanter job in those races
I may be up for this if I get the old girl running properly by then. The 200mile trip may kill the T4 before I even arrive lol
I'll pop down to watch won't be running anything unfortunately
why james what have you broke this time
[QUOTE=ExternalError;759910]why james what have you broke this time[/QUOTE] Nothing mate just need to change some bits, suspension /wishbones /tyres, things are starting to wear, and maybe some mapping
Ah ok I'm hoping to put a good time down, gripper gets fitted this weekend. I want to get it on a rolling road as soon as possible but by MAF readings it should be putting out about 365-375bhp so now I've got to work on my launch and getting the power down.
Hi guys, I should still be able to make the trip up for a blast up the quarter. The car is running well atm. Who else is still going? I may not bother if the weather is appalling as it is a 200mile trip one way! Which day are people going? I'm hoping nothing breaks as i need this to be cheap fun. The car has skinted me this year so far!! Cheers, Mitch.
Rachel and I are going on the Sunday.
The weather will probably dictate which day I go but I hope to get up and meet up with as many of you guys as possible.
[QUOTE=mitchyboy01;763948]The weather will probably dictate which day I go but I hope to get up and meet up with as many of you guys as possible.[/QUOTE] TBH it's the same with us, but I could be working on the C70 up until the 11th hour trying to get it ready.
[QUOTE=stribo;763950]TBH it's the same with us, but I could be working on the C70 up until the 11th hour trying to get it ready.[/QUOTE] Always the way mate! Mine is running well atm but I guarantee something will cause me dramas between now and then :)
I know the feeling well, I will have a car for the Sunday but whether or not it's in one piece is still an unknown!
I'll be there on the Sunday.
Don't think I will be, finances are not being kind at present, will just keep my head down till the next one
seems like its all dying out....................................:smirk:
If it looks like no one will be going I may do Santapod RWYB on the Saturday as it's quite a bit closer to me.
[QUOTE=T5frankie;764057]seems like its all dying out....................................:smirk:[/QUOTE] If I come into a windfall I'll be there, but until then it's a no, I know I'll be pee'd off sat at home missing all the fun
[QUOTE=mitchyboy01;764073]If it looks like no one will be going I may do Santapod RWYB on the Saturday as it's quite a bit closer to me.[/QUOTE] only 8 miles from me lol
I'll be looking at coming the sunday weather dependant
[QUOTE=T5frankie;764057]seems like its all dying out....................................:smirk:[/QUOTE] You could alwys bring the Mondeo along. ;) There weren't many at the season opener last year, it'll pick up as the weather gets better.
Everybody got plenty of runs though, didn't you do 10 or so stribo?
I thought it would be rammed being the season opener. Would be nice if it was quiet!
[QUOTE=mitchyboy01;764096]I thought it would be rammed being the season opener. Would be nice if it was quiet![/QUOTE] santa pod has been open for two months
Doubt my car will be ready - Had no time or money to get it ready.
[QUOTE=martin_r_smith;764093]Everybody got plenty of runs though, didn't you do 10 or so stribo?[/QUOTE] We got 18 runs between us, when we first got there, we'd run, drive back around to the start and run again. :D
May have to pull out of this now. Had my car on the dyno this week and is well short on power due to a strange fuelling issue. I need to get to the bottom of that first so I can turn the boost up!

You will have to put up without me too - gonna see my mum.
[QUOTE=Wobbly Dave;764800]You will have to put up without me too - gonna see my mum.[/QUOTE] She's far more important, totally understand. My Mum has had cancer, but thankfully is in remission, feel for you mate.
Shakey have just posted on their facebook page that, they're postponing the season opener for 3 weeks because bad weather is forecast. On the one hand pissed off, as I was looking forward to this, but at least it gives me a bit more time to give the C70 a shakedown.
Fits in better with my plans but only if I book it as a holiday, sundays are tricky now on our shift pattern, as we only get one full weekend of in every 4, so I will have to see as I may need the holidays for more important weekends later in the year
Any times from today fellas? gutted I had to miss it!
[QUOTE=mitchyboy01;766049]Any times from today fellas? gutted I had to miss it![/QUOTE] See above posts, it was cancelled due to the weather
Cheers Martin, I didn't spot that! Lucky I didn't go lol
