Just getting some general interest really. I'm going for certain and its not really a CS 'meet' as such, just a bit of fun before we lose the nice warm weather for this year. Will also be interest from ClubPolo.co.uk

Details: Santa Pod's postcode is NN29 7XA, Phone number is 01234 782828
You WILL need: Driver's licence and a crash helmet if your vehicle can get to over 100mph on the quarter mile.
Costs: £10 per person to get in to watch and another £20 if you plan on going up the strip. For £20 you get unlimited runs throughout the day.

Thats about it really. Its on for saturday the 22nd on this month (Sept). See ya there, settle some scores!

What about if your car can't do 100mph on the 1/4, do you still need your driving licence then?

I'll be there in the Goof

Good plan - I may try and get the day off so I don't have to go home early.

My car won't even do 100mph, so I'm sure I'll be alright. What happens if you don't think it'd make 100mph, then, it does, and you don't have a helmet on

So if i took my corsa b xe there, completely stripped except dash, standard engine except filter and decat stainless pipe what sort of 1/4 times and term speeds should i be getting? assuming it's a fully healthy engine which i know it is! also what about 0-60?

Just out of interest really as i've never really seen any xe's go down the strip before so have nothing to benchmark myself against, cheers

Rob

*EDIT. also running an F15 gearbox, tops out at about 130 at the rev limitter in 5th, seems pretty short!

About 15.5 seconds, maybe less if you're good off the line.
