gavin.starr Posted June 30, 2012 Share Posted June 30, 2012 Is there anything else to do near or around santa pod, The only reason I ask is because the missus may get a bit bored just watching cars all day. But if not I could allways leave her at home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if not I could allways leave her at home I'm sure she'll be fine. Every time me and the missus have gone to watch drag racing, I think I've got bored before her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 The shop will be closing on Friday 6th at around 9pm for Supra Pod, so if you want to get your tickets there is less than a week left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Bailey Posted July 1, 2012 Share Posted July 1, 2012 Gates open at 9am, signon from 9.30am, first drag and drift from 10am, lunch at 1pm, finish around 5pm, and then back to Billing Aquadrome for the evening entertainment. Sounds good to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted July 1, 2012 Author Share Posted July 1, 2012 Saturday night is a fend for yourself event. There will be a marquee with power and lights paid for by the club, but nothing else. There are food places on site, and just down the road there is a KFC, pizzahut, harvester, McD and so on. There are also places on site for food including the premier inn pub. So bring your own food and drink for the Saturday night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure she could spend the day in MK though the bill could be quite high! Ive spent way to much this month, so she is just going to have to be bored, i told her to bring a book. Whats the rules regarding taking pasangers up the strip , her mum and dad are coming but wont be dragging, but i know a good run in a fast supra would put a monumental smile on her dads face, if some one would do the honours.

Graham1984 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Hows the drag list going so far?? I counted 36 members and 2 non members plus the 30 spaces Sky insurance has, How is this faring for being on next year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I might have missed this but a friend who wanted to come along isn't sure with the dodgy recent weather. I told him I 'think' we have an insurance in place should the event not happen of a washoout so his £65 won't go to waste. Can someone please confirm this and apologises if this has been mentioned already in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was told if you have a terminal speed over 110mph that I would need a helmet. I bought one a couple of days ago as I should be hitting over those speeds easily I would have thought Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scotty71 Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I would assume that I would go over it but was just making sure, time to try find a helmet now lol BPU on stock twins and you wont go over terminal 110mph thus no helmet required. Depends what your running Ive spent way to much this month, so she is just going to have to be bored, i told her to bring a book. Whats the rules regarding taking pasangers up the strip , her mum and dad are coming but wont be dragging, but i know a good run in a fast supra would put a monumental smile on her dads face, if some one would do the honours.
