Hoping to get baby up the Pod in the near future, but not having ever been before wondered a couple of things...
1) Do you need a helmet?
2) Do you pay per run, or do you pay per day. If per day do you get a guaranteed number of runs?
3) Do you get a printout of your time at the end of a run?
1) only if your car is going to do 100mph+ by the finish line
2) No you pay a lump sum and it's unlimited runs
3) Yes, collect your slip from the registrations hut (you need yoru car reg)
Cool, cheers. Just thought of something else, do they measure 0-60, and quarter mile? What sort of quarter would I need to run to be at 100 at the line?
no one bothers with the 100mph limit at end, so don't worry about helmet.
it's usually NOT pay once and run unlimited.
It's pay between £12-£15 and you get THREE runs, but you can go and get another set of three run tickets if you desire.
On some of the larger events its pay £15 for 3 runs which they give you a wristband with 3 tags on. But to be honest at the big events your lucky to get in 1 run per hour.
I did a 14.5 @ 100mph the last time i did it with a rubbish 2.7 60ft time.
Went I went a RWYB it was £15 unlimited runs (omly I only got one run as some american P.O.S. blew up and they spent hours cleaning up the oil) Then when it finally came to my run the adrenaline was going and I really messed up 1st to 2nd and ran a 16.9
Very embarrassing!

i dont have a clue either!...do you get told what to do? like how and when to set off from the start?..im looking forward to getting my quarter mile in 25 secs
what kinda time will i run with a standard 200vi - i know i am running 140bhp ish with 7.5s 60 (according to parkers?? is that right??) but what kinda time that likely to give??
to me it good to not wheel spin at start that true or that mean to slow a start???

You want a little bit of spin, but its a balancing act. To much spin you dont move, to little power and you bog down and you get a slow time. Practice is whats needed for good times.
