As some of you may know, i also have a dodge charger (in a million bits) so, as is customary at this time of year, i'll be making my annual pilgrimmage to santapod over the weekend of the 24th-26th of July.

This is a full on muscle car event (no fwd stuff) and, despite its name, other makes of muscle car are welome, both old and new.

It is a RWYB event to, though it can get a bit busy at times, in particular on saturday. Friday and sunday morning are the best times traditionally.

If your coming just for one day, id recommend sunday as there show and shine is on sunday.

Full details here: www.mopareuronats.com/

If anyone else is coming, come and say Hi. I should be easish to find, i'll be in the Maloo

Yeah, i'm doing this event for sure. So you will most likely see me there. Decided to do this one at the Pod rather than the Supra club day.

Is it £20 for four runs or is it unlimited? Dont really want to go and keep having to pay £20 when theres very few there. It would cost a fortune

Great day out but take ear plugs, some of those open header cars make enough noise to make your ears bleed

Unlimited runs.

The only st bit, is that they charge for the full weekend regardless ( well for us arriving on Friday they do ) which is hardly fair as we will only be there friday, and leaving first thing Saturday morning.

Think we will be there on the Saturday only. Looks like it is set to be a good one.

Yeah £25 for unlimited runs apparently.

And £20 for a Saturday or Sunday day pass - £18 if member.

If you need any help Roger the least I can do is remind you of that smile

BTW: I recommend a particularly henious burnout. Though your clutch might not agree.

I'm not going for any records...

I'd like to do af ew 10's on teh 888's, as so far Ive never actually run a 10 on a fully UK legal tyre. Just 11.1 or so.

Although Ive never used 888's at a proper strip yet.

Hoping to trap 150+ though, although that too is asking a fair bit.

I'm coming to this on the Friday, LS Orange (new diff ratio) and me are coming for a blast. My Goal is a 130mph terminal, so far 11.4/129.4mph on the 888's has been the best on that rainy day we went on, i dont think a 10 is possible on street stuff, New drive shafts landing today or tomorrow! smile

Change of plan. I will be here on the Sunday instead of the Saturday - which should be better.

no - cos i never run in the end Friday was a complete washout, sat was really busy, and i was a bit slow getting up on sunday morning and spent too much time chin wagging and looking for some elusive charger parts.
