NITROUS OXIDE ( nos / n2o ) advice forum

It wasn't meant to be, bureaucracy prevails once again

Hi Pel

You could always do a run on the nice tarmac road outside the track lol....

Once when testing there, I ran a faster 1/4 on the road outside than I could on the concrete track (G-Tech) lollll....

The Pod has much nearer neighbours than Smeatharpe

All the best Brett

You should come over to the sunshine in Sydney, the track holds off street meetings every Wednesday evening for 4 hours (weather pending), and now they are having Friday evenings (fortnightly I think) for a couple of months for us license holders to do test & tune. They have a 180 car cut-off, so some nights you'll get 6 passes, or only get 3-4 passes if some douchebag drops oil on the track.
I feel for you Perry.

I just checked your Santa Pod website and it seems you do have frequent events, but not till mid Jan by the looks of it, bugger!

Paul

The heath and safety Nazis are at it AGAIN!

If it wasnt for the 3 week+ sea trip both ways Sydney would be a fantastic trip - and I'd get to see some of the family!

Need a lottery win first to do that trip

And while you're here you can watch the English cricket team take the Ashes again.

Paul, Funny you should mention your decent weather conditions as I cannot believe I've never go to one of the many strips in Florida when on holiday.
I reakon I've been to busy Fishing

I guess this was just not meant to be eh??

Roll on January

Exactly, the "Black Panther" will be ready

I hope so Rich!!
I see there are 3 RWYB meets in Jan alone

I'm hoping my mate Tony Cooper will be there in his Capri with the new rear axle ready to rock for some shakedowns.

I did my PB last January, so lets see what this coming January brings

Here is the latest email from Rob!!

the airfield at smeatharpe is heavily flooded and due to the amount of rain that has fallen in the past few days the area surrounding the airfield is waterlogged and water is therefore being held on the runway so we cannot safely run the drag racing. we apologise for any inconvenience caused.The drifting is not affected and indeed we have now doubled the size of the drift area

damn this sucks just got my 11lb bottle topped up yestaday by brett. o well next year ill get my 12 second run

So frustrating isnt it Sam??

But as you get deeper and deeper into the nitrous scene you will often find that you end each season missing out on the "i just need one more test run for this year" event !

You get to a certain point in the season and then get stopped. I've got a shed load of mods I want to do on my car. But I'm holding firm and just leaving her as she was from the last PB run at the Pod. She only PB'd on MPH though. My time was 0.3 down on the normal ET's.

I just hope that Jan , Feb and March are dry enough to get my final testing done as this will show me which way to go next
