Going to Santa Pod on Saturday from N London?
Discussion
Santa Pod have kindly said they will let us TVR's park in the Pits rather than the main car park. I've got 4 parking tickets spare (still gotta pay to get in though). If anyone is interested drop me a line throuh my profile and I'll tell you how to collect them on them day.
For those of us already going where do you think is the best place to meet up? I think we need to aim to get to the Pod for about 12:30.

ehasler said:What you like pimpster?? Saying that though, I do have a couple things I need to sort out when I'm there so what's the deal peeps? Are we all heading down to Castles and if so what time?
Maybe we could all meet at Castle (as long as Tony promises not to spend ages trying to upgrade his Cerbie!)
Cheers for the Pit Passes, its a shame we didnt get a chance to meetup. We left at 19:30, and didnt actually get out of the raceway until 21:30 .. 2 hours queing in traffic waiting to get out. we watched the two jet cars racing, then made our way back to the car to que to leave, and watch the fireworks.
Must put Top Fuel Dragsters in the Diary for Next year ... probably the most awsome sight I have ever whitnessed

2 hours to get out? 
We left just before 7 I think, and were sitting in the bar at the B&B by about 8:30. :smuggrin:
I know what you mean about the Top Fuel cars though - totally awesome, as were the jet cars. You can't actually explain to people what they're like, as it is just unbelievable how loud and fast they are.
I had a look at the jet car when it was being towed back to the pits, and the driver actually sits right next to the engine!

Yep I'm up for next years events...totally agree you have to be there to experience it, especially standing behind that jet car and then in a split second its gone past the 1/4 mile...you just can't explain it...amazing!

Top day boys and girls after eventually getting there 
(Ed, you got a reciept for that GPS unit batman?? 
)
Well, like said earlier, you can't explain to anyone what those JET cars are like without being there, crazy, bloody crazy, you remember when we turned up and couldn't see what was happening but the ground just shook like an earthquake and all that smoke!!! Well, I was about to turn round and get me and my Cerb outta there.
I had a really good day out with you guys, shame I didn't stay over, sounds like you had a good evening.
Some pics below. Oh and PODIE's found his new motor
