Spot on mate.. be very interested to see what you get this year,, As you've got pretty much the set up i'll have.. Bar the Miltek.. (DSG, Revo and Carbonio)..
Do you bother with launch control?

Didn't get a decent launch last year, but I've had plenty of practice now. :evil:

Launch control?? DSG?? On a straight??? Surely this is toddlers work!! :drool: :drool:
Lets just hope r32uk, if you go, you dont stall it !  :wink: wouldnt that be funny :smiley:

I think GTI fest is 3 runs for £15 Hurdy.. Normal Big event days are. But I prefer that, as the queues aren't as bad then. Plus with DSG and Launch control, you won't need many more than 3..  :wink:  Standard RWYB days are £20 for unlimited runs..

Test your car on the world famous
Santa Pod 1/4 mile
Once inside the venue, for a one off signing on fee of £20, you can sprint up the famous 1/4 mile as many times as you wish.

Not per run, no time slots, just get in line and drive!

All day if you feel like it! And the timing equipment is accurate to world record standards, so the time and speed you run here is FACT, not fiction.

If you haven't done it before, give it a try. The adrenaline is addictive, even in a relatively slow car.

Don't forget your driving licence - NO LICENCE = NO RUN !!!

I for one will probably do 3 runs in the morning and 3 in the afternoon. :evil:

Last year I did 4 runs at Spring fest and realised it soon becomes a good adrenaline rush :cool:

Me and you both mate.... :wink: Don't think it'll be a problem though. Weather permitting.. Just hope this recent bout of wind fooks off. Because Pod is notorious for having a hideous headwind..
