Santa Pod Raceway - Run What You Bring 26th Oct 2008
5th UK Crossfire Meet
Santa Pod Raceway in Northamptonshire
Now Re-Scheduled for 26th October 2008 Due to low turn out
Meet for a” Run What You Bring" Day”
What about this for a meet up venue. Santa Pod is near Northampton and in easy reach for most of us.
There are full facilities for refreshments and plenty of entertainment if you like watching fast cars being put through their paces.
This would be a good place to meet, natter, eat hot dogs and watch the cars blasting up the strip from the grandstand. There should also be good photo and on-board video opportunities here.
The RWYB days are for those crazy people who fancy putting there own car against the clock on the famous Santa Pod quarter mile drag strip.
Are any Crossfire drivers brave, or mad enough!
For just £10 admission and £20 to "sign on", you can test your cars performance limits in a safe environment. You don't need a race licence, or have to tape over your lights, or even have a fast car. Most drivers bring normal road cars. Some, however, may have slight modifications, but don't worry, you won't be pitched against a 300mph Top Fuel Dragster! On the plus side you sometimes get to see Europe's fastest cars running using the same strip.
The only thing you need to go drag racing at the famous Santa Pod Raceway is a valid UK driving licence, a helmet, £10 for admission and a £20 signing-on fee. You'll get unlimited runs or as many as your nerves will allow!
After each run you get a personal performance print-out with your reaction times to the start lights, 60ft, 1/4 mile, 1/8 mile times and terminal speed.
Venue normally opens at 8.00am with track runs starting at 9:30am - 5pm, weather and track conditions dependant. Some RWYB meetings are busy than others, so waiting times between runs can vary.
NB: Don't forget your driving licence! Helmets are required for all open top cars, and those which will achieve 100mph. For further information www.santapod.co.uk/ and make sure you view RWYB Guides for essential info. Note: Cars cannot run on the Drag Strip durring rain, however, a wet surface can be dried with the special equipment they have there, to enable runs to continue.
