hey everyone, i've just got back from my first santa pod experience. would have been quality if it wernt so damn cold. or if i had a car to race with.

 

there were probably more zx's there than any other group of cars , about 5 0r 6 i think, a load of 200sx's and a couple of skyline's

 

evo's were the quickest cars, although a R33 skyline ran 12.5

 

the zx's seemed a bit slow, kept running in the 15's region - i think basically all the 4*4 cars were the best.

 

GT4's were all good, every time running high 13's, there was one pulsar gtir and that was pretty good 13.31!!

 

i think the best ZX was a black one, with number plate ??? SGT i think, that was real quick, i think it ran a 13.3 with a 2.05 reaction time!!

 

there were a few Yabuza's though, crazy crazy bikers!! they ran a couple of 9.8 143mph times.

 

some crazy bastard pulled a wheelie near the finish line at 135mph!

 

there was also a toyota corollla that ran a 13.09 - i think it might have been a fensport prepared model

 

but yeah, i think basically the 4 wheel drives cars have got a serious edge on the traction side. the celica were consistently faster than the zeds.

 

i couldnt stay long though, it was a bit nippier than i expected, i think i should have brought a sweater instead of my shades.

 

sorry i had no batteries for the camera. god damn santa pod, in the middle of nowhere.

 

ben.

 

------------------

I will be down for that, hopefully I will beat my 14.1 best, I really wanna get into the 13's

Yeah i was at santa pod aswell!! Those zx's look they were racing banana tread tyres on ice-no traction baby!!! although respect to that guy who was tryin to spin the tyres on the line!!!He ran 13 seconder with a real slow reaction time.Those 200sx seemed pretty slowish with a best somewhere around 14.5ish.Though respect has to go to the bikers on busas there crazy!!Yeah 4*4 seems like a real advantage on that slippy track as the gt-4's were constantly good,maybe your 3000 gto will kick ass veilside ,we will see ,we will see.....R

 

 

So you missed the 13.2 put down by one of our club members?

 

 

I can't get to May 26th I was hoping to cos by then my EVC wil have been fitted. Will have to be June before I get to see if I can beat my best 14.027. I hope that the extra 3 to 4psi it makes available should help.

Z first and anything else is secondary!

Shuold do, give me about 90bhp extra on a pissy 1.8 litre.

 

It's a bit of a gutter though that you get to a stage where an extra 100bhp only makes about 1 second difference yet costs you several £k.
