I quite fancy this in my sport2000s

I haven't been to the Pod for ages. Last time I did a 12.2 in my ZEi220

My brother would bring his supercharged duratec Westy too.

What time does it start?

edited to add gates open 080 and sign on from 090

supercharged duratec    thats going to shame my poor little zetec powered westie

It will be interesting to see what times my car can run, compared to when i had the old crossflow setup

Done the pod years ago in a standard VX in a narrow with crappy tyres.

Didn't do so well so vowed to go back some time to have another go.

Sprinting this weekend so looks like it will have to be next year now

It was the weekend before last  (5th Sept) linky I went along for a few runs and got a whooping against Duncan Cowpers Dax  

I did 15.5s with my weedy 1.6 and 84.7mph at the line  

[XTR2Turbo]

I'll definitely be there with my brother.

Plan to arrive around 08:45.

Dom't forget licence and a short bit of rope for wrist restraints

[uk89camaro]

I'll probably give it a go in the summer, as it would be interesting to see how much faster it would run than my '01 Mustang. (14.6....)

[tcc21racing]

Well il see you guys there    I plan to trailer up for 8:45-9

[Cleggy the Spyder Man]

probably will not make it today - but just found this info on the website

would be a good idea to do this again sometime with more notice and get gathering together

Now Take A Friend On The Quarter Mile!

Santa Pod has just turned the track day market on its head, by being the first venue in the UK to allow guests to drive under fully timed race conditions – with a passenger!

In a dynamic change to their rules and regulations, the ‘Pod has made it possible for any enthusiast enjoying a day’s full-tilt driving (at £35 all in) to take a passenger alongside, under race conditions, for only a £10 sign-on fee!

Passengers will need to bring their full UK driving licence and sign on in the usual manner, but having done so - and once presented with their wristband, they are free to ride shotgun with anybody on the start line that would like them onboard. With events running every month and at every major Santa Pod show there are over 50 separate opportunities in 2010 for a bit of twos-up, heads-up racing! Any road legal car is eligible, but understandably, real race car drivers, bikers and anyone running faster than 130mph will have to travel solo!

Upon announcing the move, Santa Pod MD, David Lloyd Jones was quick to point out the many benefits. "We’re proud to have added this new dimension to our RWYB days,’ he said. ‘By allowing passengers, it not only makes it a far more enjoyable day for groups of friends attending, but also opens the door for any tuners or commercial organisations to come along and showcase their wares to prospective customers. This fundamental change in our running regulations also means we can offer ‘experience’ rides to allow newcomers to the sport to discover the thrill of the quarter mile, for the price of a round of drinks."

Although each run is limited to one passenger per car, there is no limit to the amount of guests accompanying each car, so if you’re looking to sell, to impress, to entertain – or even for a first date with a difference, why not try the new RWYB for two?
