26th Jan - Run What Ya Brung...

[noodles 4.2]

Hello all,

I have been meaning to get along to Santa Pod for a while now to see what the Cerb can do. The next opportunity is 26th Jan - for £25 you get as many races as you can fit into the day.

I shall be attending with a few mates. Anyone else up for it? I may need moral support when I get outstripped by a supercharged Vauxhall Chevette. Anyway, it would be nice to have a race angainst a couple of other Cerbs....or a Tuscan?

So who is up for it? The races are a standing ¼ mile track at the European Drag Racing strip in Santa Pod (about 10 miles from Bedford).

£25? Blimey, that's gone up. It was about £15 or so the last time I went (last year some time).

I would strongly recommend it to anyone who fancies a laugh, though. Drag racing is more difficult than it looks. You have to be magnanimous in defeat, though, when some b*gger in a Fiat 500 mullahs you (although the Fiat 500s in question have short-block Chevy V8s in them).

Don't forget your insurance doesn't apply ...

Sounds good. If our own insurers can't deal with it..anyone know of an insurance company that will deal with one off days?!!

Hello again,

From what I can gather insurance is not required - neither are helmets and you don't need to tape your lights up.

Since it is in a straight line insurance should not be a worry.

Venue normally opens at 8.00am with track runs starting at 10.00am-5pm. Normal admission £9 plus one-off signing on fee of £15 for unlimited runs.
