RE: Santa Pod Sunday Service 07/05
Discussion
Also shocked at the drag price, especially with the £2 per ticket booking fee and yet another site that you have to 'register' with...
Perhaps I'm getting old.
Seems especially pricey since I'll probably only do 1 or 2 runs with my mate doing the same.
But, all going to plan and the tickets aren't completely wasted, please look out for possibly the SLOWEST comedy drag race of the day. Bubble v Bubble. German v British

Last year there were drag race tickets available on the day but that was only due to the fact that the 200 space allocation had not been met prior to the event. Buy them before or take your chances on the day. Not sure how you know when the full allocation has been met though?
I guess Pistonheads do not control what Santa Pod charge but can only ask for a discount, which I believe is £5 (normally £25 for race ticket and £10 entry). I have found that a booking fee is fairly standard with buying tickets online for anything now. Lets be honest the event is free (except if you choose the race) and the Santa Pod staff need paying for their time and use of the facility so personally I do not think its too pricy.

I grumble about the booking fee personally as it is per ticket and not per transaction. A friend of mine asked me to book his racing ticket for him at the same time as mine as he can't and doesn't want to miss out - shocked that I got charged 2x booking fee.
That aside, I don't think it's that expensive really. If you just want one or two runs maybe, but that's your perogative - you've paid for a full day of RWYB. No different to paying for a full open pit lane track day and only running a single 20 minute session.
Looking forward to this one, fingers crossed for the weather as last year was laaaverly.

Does anyone know if the drag tickets are per car or per driver?
Both myself and my mate would like to share use of our pool track car on the day.
I believe its per person going by this price list: http://www.rwyb.co.uk/tickets.phpBoth myself and my mate would like to share use of our pool track car on the day.
I can also confirm that bikes are allowed, see their rules and regs though http://www.rwyb.co.uk/rules.php
Bikes can't race against cars either, just other bikes!

Me and 2 others are driving up from Oxfordshire, so if anyone wants to convoy it up the A34 corridor then let us know where you wanna meet
We've done a few convoys before and usually meet up at some services on the A34.There's the BP Northbound before the M40 and there's another service station that's just off the A34 but can't remember the name of it!
Would be up for it though :-) maybe start a convoy thread.
I shall do just that.
That'd work well for us as we'll be joining at the A420 at Oxford.
Convoy thread in-bound!
