If Mr "maybe I will turn up maybe I wont" Brown had have showed up for the entire season and delivered the reaction times he did in rounds 1 and 2 then none of us would have had a look in..... he was on fire (not literally)
Dont forget its about attendance, number of entrants in the group and consistantly good reaction times....ETs and terminals dont have any impact on the points awarded..they belong in the hall of fame

That's good to know, I could do very well just by turning up to the 6 events.SKiddell said:
I know I still need to become a paid up member on here to enter (which I will be doing shortly), but what are the prizes likely to be this year?
do we get cash? or trophies? or a wet kiss from PMAC?

I should be there all being well but need to be back in Shropshire for a family meal at 5.30.
Z not yet built, will be ragging the sh1t out of a BMW 535d M-Sport
Mr F ............... how the hell do I get off the line quickly with an auto ? Better fully auto or using tiptronic and doing it manually ? It is a big lardy 1.8 tonne diesel that needs all the help it can get.
Thanks for the thread MGH297 - I had missed the fact that this was on ...........

I'll be there - probably 200ZR. Matt will be along in a borrowed fuel tanker - Morrisson's Super Duper Octane stuff available locally and he needs to stock up.
Auto launch - two footed approach: hold on brake with left and build rpm against the torque convertor with the right. Try not to make the rear wheels turn when static - the startline marshalls will rap you with the big stick. Sidestep the brake and mash the loud pedal somewhere between the amber and the green and pray you don't red light. Having always done this at the Pod I now drive all autos with both feet on the road - something clicks in my brain and I start left foot braking without even thinking about it...
Disclaimer: I accept no responsibility on the effects of excess heat generation in your auto box as a result of the over-enthusiastic use of building rpm against a torque convertor. Smoking may damage its health...

As previously indicated by my good friend Mr Hughes I do indeed intend to be at the Pod in my 240 this Sunday.
Outlook is good and I'm not to bothered about silly little head wind as I'm not driving a brick. Probably wont pull any Pb's but what the heck its all about having fun.
As for the crude snipe there Mr Kiddell I will treat it with the obvious jovality it deserves.

I might have made a crude (but pertinant) snipe regarding your inability to get out of bed on a Sunday
but
It was followed up by a well meant and deserved compliment on your track skills
By round two you had it in the bag.....what happened, where did you go.
