Memories of MITP 2008
Turbo Mini Forums

it was great to meet a few of you guys, impessed with how friendly everyone was.

and it was great to see all the cars and owners from here face to face.

WELL DONE STARMAG !!!!!!!!!!!

"So wat we gonna do tonight Brain?"
"Same thing we do evernight Pinky!"
"Try to take over the world!"

Thought it was a great day out :)

I had a small inprovement on my best time with a

2.5987 60ft
13.5366 ET
@113.00 Mph

With a slipping clutch

My best 60 ft time previously was 1.928

I think theres a better run to come still

The distance between insanity and genius is measured only by success

I seriously doubt it!

good result turbocox! :)

I had a really good day, I met one or two of you lot but not many really.

Star mag, bloody well done, I saw the 12 sec pass and was suprised at the lack of enthuiasm from the crowd.

Paul destroying the new mini got a good reception though.

Got to say though nics car is stunning in the flesh and me and my mate decided if we wanted to go for a spirited drive in any car that would be it. I also noticed it was driven to the drag strip as I saw him leaving, so good job.

Also, what a bastard the place is to find, thank god we had sat nav!

Awesome, well done starmag

Here's the video of starmag running a 13.0 on the saturday afternoon.

Pretty much the only video worth uploading as anton was being lazy with my camera and only filmed a couple of runs, one of which was my slowest of the day :(

Thats a good video nick didnt manage to get any this weekend as we left the camera at home!

Well done StarMag. That's a great result!!

Anyone got a vid of the Paul vs Paul battle?

Warning:Stig in Training

Theres a good vid of thatr on TMF

Paul

I seriously doubt it!

sounds like i missed a good weekend! I was ready to go, car loaded on the trailer and everything but slept in on Saturday and woke up to a wet misearable Glasgow and lost all motivation to drive all the way down!

well done starmag! the 12 second barrier is well and truly smashed - how many have joined the club now?

How long will it be untill we are knocking on the doors of an 11 second 1/4?

I remember when Andy Cameron broke into the 13 seconds (only just - 13.96 or something) probably 5 or 6 years ago. With continued developement you guys are now knocking over a second off this time.

Rob, do you know Andy, I've not seen him for years

Team Racing

Yes, share a workshop with him - to be honest I've not seen him for a while now either. His time is taken up with working 6 days a week and 2 kids these days.

don't think his car has turned a wheel in 3 years

I've only met Andy a few times at avon, give him my regards when you see him next, top bloke.

Team Racing

I seriously doubt it!

What's interesting is that, so far, no one on here has said a bad word about MITP 2008.

I'm a regular show goer, usually to collect parts and often leave by lunchtime - not really my scene.

However, I think that the combination of the normal type of show with the added spice of a bit of drag racing is a recipe for success.

I would suggest that the RWYB type event should be more structured along the lines of the Showdown, as judging by the numbers of people in the stands, the racing is maybe a bigger part of the event than the organisers anticipated.

Saul Bellow - "A great deal of intelligence can be invested in ignorance when the need for illusion is deep."
Stephen Hawking - "The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge."

Pod definitely seems better organised than Avon with regards to the location and facilities (bar and food mainly). And they keep the track moving aswell, I think the longest I waited between runs was about 30mins and that was at the busiest time!

Did anyone get a vid of mine? I have no idea what it sounds like from outside the car!

Matty, are the old "could have" and what if I'd be in the 12s is i could do a 2.1. 60 foot

Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on a carb?
First 5 port miniturbo to make over 200 bhp on Injection?

The boost i was running is a bit debatable as i said i was having spikes, I think for the quick run i was at 18psi but cant be too sure! What sort of 60 foots are people doing on road tyres?
