BUG JAM 2007

[Glenn R]

The conditions at the 2007 Bug Jam are no doubt, by now well documented elsewhere. I must admit, having dealt witht the flooding emergencies of recent weeks 'up t' north lad' I was more than slightly concerned as we were getting into the Friday afternoon deluge and there was no let up in sight, however it did stop - for a short while. We were already planning for the hours of darkness when everyone was camping and asleep with their noses and mouths two inches from the floor, cos it doesnt take that much flood water before there are mega casualties. However despite everything, it all turned out ok in the end

What I would like to mention is the dedication of all the crew at Santa Pod for being able to pull the event round from a near disaster to a damn good event. For some considerable time all of the track and safety crew were heavily involved with trying to stem the flow and remove many thousands of gallons of flood water and to their credit they did a brilliant job. It was with their determination that many of the traders, race teams and the medical centre could still operate throughout the weekend albeit with their enthusiasm slightly dampened.

I think that we should all take our hats off the the support teams that make Santa Pod what it is today, if it wasn't for them where would we all be, thanks guys you did a great job.

They certainly did do a great job Glenn and despite the conditions i,m sure everyone still had a great time. We had the Lucas Oil Top Fuel car on display and everyone who visited us seemed to be having a good time.
