CocoPops Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I might be interested (Bicester) so not too far from Oxford. Just depends on the weather really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Purves Posted May 20, 2005 Author Share Posted May 20, 2005 Cocopops we will be leaving Witney Welsh Way Car Park at 07:45 Not sure which route Badger is taking us Cocopops you have PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CocoPops Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 OK, If the route is decided beforehand, could you let me know? Chances are you'd have to come past Bicester/A43/M40 in order to get the Pod, so it seems daft for me to leave home at 7:15 to get to Witney, to them come back again, when I could hook up with you "en route" as it were.

Jam Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Yep, weather permitting see you there. Two Westies (yellow- don't go there) and a 350BHP nissan. 13.5 @ 99.25 is my PB. I reckon i'll need some better tyres to beat that though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigger Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Daft question time again I take it 13.5 is a very good time, what sort of time would be considered respectable for a 2 ltr Westy? Tigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 tigger that is a good time my best a few years back with stanard vauxhall and standard gearbox and 185 tyres was 13.8 at 100mph 1/4 mile loads of wheels spin ,and in each gear. was hoping to do better but engine not mapped yet.

Tigger Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 So I can expect anything around the 12.5 from mine then ROTFLMAO Tigger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Swinden Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Chaps,, I live close to here. The Farndish approach road is closed... I suggest you approach S.P from either Wollaston on the Hinwick Road. or probably best via Bozeat for you Southerners. If you approach from Irchester (as most people do) that approach roads closed. Have a good one.. Als for what its worth the Local Tescos dont sell LRP any more. Kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 So I can expect anything around the 12.5 from mine then ROTFLMAO Tigger Tigger, Check these times out for an idea... Pod times Weather still looks dodgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Purves Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 Everyone down my way called it off late Saturday night due to forecast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveRST Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Looks good. What kinda times did you guys get? Those two RS200's are cool Obviously you need to wear a helmet, but did they insist on the arm straps? I remember ppl saying that you needed some kinda arm restraints at the Pod if running open top car? steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete g Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 think we all did crap times, been faster. rs200 one of them was 500+ bhp.very fast helmet and straps required , we just used a piece of rope around arms and sat on it one of us was asked to wear gloves too never been asked that one before.
