I'm off to Santa Pod with small kids tomorrow. I've never been to anything without bends before. What should I know?

Have a great day ! , so , take a good amount of food with you , and drink , also comfy chairs for the bank ! also make sure you have warm clothes , while the sun is out it can get warm , however temperatures can soon plummet "up there" when the wind / breeze picks up.

Personally its best to sit opposite the "christmas tree" / start line. That way you see more action with the burnouts , and then have a good view of the strip too !

Try and get a copy of the timetable , so then you can plan the day , see the drag classes you want to see and then take a walk around the pits while the slower racing/rwyb is on.

I highly recommend watching some nitro warm ups in the pits , thats an experience in itself ! (from what i gather its the nostalgia nats this weekend so plenty of old school nitro to see !)
