TOTB 2010 inc RYWB 2 day event! 7/8 August.

[SM]

Well, it comes that time again that we start to think about TOTB.

I'll be the team captain again and will do my best to pick a fair and varied team for all the disciplines, and think we could have our best year and largest team ever! There are so many great cars being built. Team criterai below.

>>>> the noise limits are the same as last year 101db all classes and 106db pro class,,, these will be strictly enforced by Elvington

Just to make you all aware the noise limits are STRICT and FINAL.

Any team member who doesnt ensure there car will pass the noise test will be asked to refund the club the £100+ it cost the club to enter you. You MUST take note of this and MUST comply.

However this year it will also be a 2 day event with camping and RWYB for drag/handling the day before also. So a great weekend out for everyone, you can come and play the day before and prove that I was wrong and I should have picked you instead

The tickets are well priced if bought through the club, we will also have a club stand, Free BBQ/Car-B-Q for members etc so you wont have to buy over-priced burgers on the day making it even better value!

Hi Kev,

Will the 200 SX Owners Club be having a prence at Ten of The Best this year. The event is running over the weekend of 7th and 8th August 2010.

There will also be an opportunity to enter Run Wot Ya Brung on Saturday on a handling circuit as well as the drag strip. I think you need to make enquiries in advance to do this as places are limited. One winner from the handling and drag strip will be given a golden ticket to race with the Best of the Best on Sunday.

Tickets for entry on to Elvington Airfield are bought at a reduced rate in advance and you would need to let me know how many you need for your Club members. Prices are:

One Day Entry Ticket £12
Two Day Entry Ticket £20
Wkend Ticket £30 includes entry into camping area

Let me know as soon as you can if you intend to display as a club and take advantage of reduced rate tickets.

Info for the team, and extra consideration this year will also be 200's with a 200SX engine. If its very close between two people, I'll pick the car "most 200".

To be honest it really hasnt mattered at all over the past few years, the team has always picked itself with only a handful of cars being race ready at picking time.

I do think we can feild 8-10 cars, running a few off my head ...
Ken
Jez
Bren
Me
800BHP
Phil Morrison
.....and I hear Bigtone is rebuilding ...

We are only a boat trip for the likes of Shogun/Mobe to come over from Sweden

Please dont be offended if I havent listed YOU, just put your name forward and do things to push your car onto the list. For drag you really need to be aiming under 12 secs for sure, for topspeed - thats a little harder to judge but is mainly down to power, that leaves handling so you have to be doing trackdays or better still sprint events to show you have the car and driver to compete.

Re-posting the team picking speil... we should have 8-10 this year

[2008] TOTB 7 - Show of hands please
After the best SXOC showing for a while last year we have been offered more spots for 2008.

To be honest guys I'm reluctant to ask for more than 5

Last year we only had 4/5 actually take part, and that was good for our past history.

We did however mange 2 3rd places, BigTone clocking some insane top speed and placing superbly, and I did ok myself on the handling.

So, who is SERIOUS about TOTB 7 ?


Think about it carefully please, and make sure the answer to all the questions is YES.

1) My car has worked recently, works now, or will work very shortly.
2) My car is to a high spec for at least 1 of the 3 disciplines tested on the day, or will perform all round.
3) I am reliable and would be proud to represent the club.

Please don't post if you only expect your standard car to have 8000bhp by then once you have dropped in the rolls royce jet engine, and not actually have something tangible with some proof to back up the claims on 1/4 mile, top speed or handling capabilities of your car.


The top speed this year will be 1km, not 1 mile.
Too many cars doing 200mph I think its 3 years since it was dropped from 1.25miles to a mile for the same reason.


This I posted last year is still valid

TOTB team selection will be on the following factors, not in any order

* Overall car performance
* Team Diversacy
* Proven Reliable car
* Familarity of format / competition in general

I'm in subject to me getting decent 1/4 times and you doing my oil cooler

[800bhp]

I'm in

(I even have the correct engine in the car )

[zeppelin101]

Hopefully I'll be up to support you lot this year

[bren]

Ill have a go, good for a giggle. I cant get any 1/4 times if you keep blagging me to take the Skyline down the strip rather than the S14 though

[Dan@DB-Power]

I'd be up for the top speed run and 1/4 mile if I get the 800SX working in time doubt it would be a handling car though

Should have a theoretical top speed of 230mph but i doubt it would do that

Personally though don't count me in until it is working i.e. April/May

Dan

[gander]

i wouldnt mind being in the team again depending how well the new engine performs in the new car. i think it will be good as it made 455 hp on the dyno with 1 bar of boost, 7k rev limiter and the map was all over the place. same as dan though untill the cars together mid april, tested to the ring and a few track/pod days ill know how good it is.

[SM]

Excellent

[Teggers]

I reckon Evilchap might be up for this too. If he gets the engine rebuilt and reliably working. I'm sure I don't need to mention to anyone any more than that

800SX Hahahahahah Like it

[Dan@DB-Power]

800SX Hahahahahah Like it

me too should be awesome

Out of interest Bren how much does the engine in your Skyline and V8 200 weigh?

Dan

[gander]

[def]

Hopefully I'll be up to support you lot this year

Need help with fuel:wLets hope its our best year yet.

If you want in, you're more than welcome

Well if my restriction/problem with my block hadn't come back to haunt me, then I really wanted to try for this. As it stands, if the only solution to my valve bounce is to strip the block, then sadly the car will be staying at it's relatively puny 380 odd bhp as the thing works perfectly at this level. Big pile if annoying pants really

I will still try for some times on the strip though, managed 119 terminals but pretty poor times last year

Skyline one weighs not too disimilar to a RB25 as its an iron block, the LS2 in the S14 weighs less.

[redlinezak]

if it is runing in the near future then im in. No promises yet tho but would love to do it (SR FTW )

Can we make sure that at least half the places are given to 200sx's with 200sx engines though please.

Once you put a different engine in, it can be a great car no doubt, but it then becomes a hybrid, and it loses some appeal for quite a few of us.

I'm happy to see non 200sx engined 200sx's there, but not as the majority.
