Guys as we all know the GTO boys have always looked at our cars with envy :) Anyway there are some good guys in their community and I have been discussing ten of the best with a few of them and I have challenged them to a team competition. Yes there will be some big power cars but mostly it will be normal guys with a few mods looking to have a bit of fun. We are thinking a maximum of 8 entries per team to count to the points and we feel that to help it work we will allow Saturday times to count on the 1/4 and top speed run. This means if you only want to do boot camp you will still be part of the team (not handling as the course changes each day).

 

We are also thinking each entry to donate £10 into the pot and the winning team gets all the money for the charity of their choice. There is also optional £5 head to head pairs if anyone wants it but we will need to clarify fully later. The GTOOC charity is 'justgiving' and we can choose ours if this forum doesn't currently support one. For myself I already support help for heroes but am happy to go along with the rest.

 

I will share this on my facebook page and will keep the page updated with details.

 

Have a good think about this guys it's an opportunity to try your hand at 3 disciplines for very little money and see which of our cars is the best all rounder. I often see people suggesting that the zed gets very little respect from the rest of the community and this is a chance to show them how good this car can be. I really do think it will be a great weekend if we can get a decent team together. Yes I will be focussing on doing well but this will help to make it fun as well.

 

I will be there for the full weekend and can sort out details with Dave Naxton. I would truly like this to work and am more than happy to arrange the event however I would not be able to provide much support on the day. I think we could set up a team area to compete with the best so I am confident we can make it a brilliant weekend.

 

Yes it's early but can you start thinking about it now and any feedback/offers of help/entries will be appreciated.

I not going to "wring its neck" as they say as I have to drive it too and from the event on both days so really don't want to break it but I wont be taking it easy either, will try my best.

 

Im running stock suspension but I think im running about 350BHP as I have the following installed and its running very well at present.

Mongoose cat back

JWT popcharger filter

FMIC

Bailey dump valves

Blitz EBC

40% uprated clutch

Drilled and grooved disks all round with mintex pads

Zedworld Chip, (was hoping to have a remap session with Noz beforehand but don't think this will be possible)

I was planning to run on my 19" with Pirelli pzero's fitted but I have a set of std jap alloys with good bridgestones fitted so might run those instead, what do you guys think.

I did record one of your runs Bob..... but just found my bloody iPhone has decided to go wrong and lose 6 video's from yesterday and the audio on everything else including my son singing in front of the entire school..... grrrrrrrrrrr

Bob mate, I haven't just failed this MOT, my car is in really poor shape. I am very upset about missing the event and more so my poor car but I think I have to miss TOTB. I will put up a thread with details but I think I am in trouble with this one :(

I have my crash helmet, a good mate of mine gave me one of his spares...... SO ITS ON NOW, not the crash helmet, im at work at my computer so am not wearing it, I meant to the GTO guys.......ITS ON.

Now to find all my Go Pro doo dads so I can fix the camera to the car to get some footage.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE god of the zeds don't let me blow it up. I can hear the other halfs laughter from here.

I'm buying a new LS2 FF322.24 helmet to force me to get my arse in gear and get back on the strip. I've not had chance to do any 1/4 miles since last year :(

 

Nearly registered last night, but thought it best to hold off until I know exactly which car I'm going in. Getting excited for it now :thumbup:

When is this? Can you buy tickets on the gate to watch?

Haha, there is a lot to do. Engine is out and I've got 95% of parts needed to be competitive this year. But if anything goes awry, me being in the Pulsar won't help with team points.

Well we gotta try and make it a one make team if possible. Let's just see how things pan out but it'd be a shame if we can't get five zeds on the start line but if not we'll have to put a sticker on the Pulsar maybe they won't notice lol

Just booked for the family on Sunday :)

We'll have a cruise up in the 1.2 fiat 500

Cos that's how I roll :wack:
