Convincing my Dad Santa Pod aint no 'stunt' for boy racers?
Discussion
Hiya,
Well ive decided to come down to Santa Pod RWYB on 25th of this month.
Mentioned it to my Dad & he was like yeh, love to, come down in your car with you.. proud as punch and all that!
Then i told him i was going to run it up the strip! Cutting a lot of words short, he thinks its a stupid 'stunt' and i want to 'show off' You wouldnt believe im 29 & have my own home etc.. nope, im just a childish boy racer again he he!
So im trying to convince him that done right its a safe and sensible way of getting a measure of your cars performance and having fun etc etc....
hes just sees it as me endangering my life & me lovely shiney new car....
Ive run santa pod before in my cossie, and been going there every year to watch for at least 7 years now, i feel i have a good sense of the place...
What do you guys think? Am i not respecting whats involved?? Is there any sensible arguement for going drag racing that you can give to someone not clued up on the scene?
Gawd i feel like a kid again!
Any ideas chappies

Well i now have one other problem....
Phone my insurance company, my policy does not cover drag racing & they cannot add it
The will cover track but not drag...
So i fear from my own reasons now and not my fathers i may not run it! I know how safe it is, and I can drive very well... but its the 'what if' factor when running a car which ive spent so much to buy without insurance...
Will be there for defo to meet some of you guys though!
Bugger!
