Chris Bailey Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Any mods know if more information has been found out about this and if Santapod have given us any dates yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 We can only hope, but I just dont think the club is big enough anymore to get the numbers in needed to make it viable such a shame was one of my favourite events, So fingers tightly crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Always enjoyed Suprapod but with it not being on this year I attended JAE instead and I preferred it tbh. Attending a list of events that far south isn't viable for me or many of the Scottish members and I'd say that the club would be better focussing on getting good attendances at fewer events than spreading thinly across many. JAE was great and if I can I'm hoping to go to JAE and DragonBall next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I have chased them a number of times and Darren there has said he will get back to me, but nothing yet. I'm tempted to take almost any date they offer as it makes a good day out. So I will let you know what they offer. I'm hoping they might have something around the Easter weekend, then we can coincide it with the FnF7 release!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Well, they havent offered me the date officially yet, but it looks like it may be 9th May 2015 for Suprapod... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drift_bear Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 To close to Dragonball for some of us tbh, I sadly wouldn't be attending even though I enjoy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaan W Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 That's early I thought it was usually summer time. I probably won't be able to make it again unless my car's finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 Im in no matter what the date, as soon as its set in stone I will book it off. Same as me im in regard less , I would even do it if it was a Friday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Friday thing might be possible if I cant find a normal day. Let me see what they have available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhy Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'm down for whichever date too. Suprapod is a great event that was really missed last year. Are we opening it up to the GTR lads again? I think it makes for great competition and exciting to watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripped_fear Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Friday thing might be possible if I cant find a normal day. Let me see what they have available. Personally I reckon the Saturday would bring in more members. That way we can all stay on the friday and saturday night at the hotel too, one of the best parts of the event. One concern would be that most of the DB members wont run on the strip due to fears of breaking the car so close to the run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One concern would be that most of the DB members wont run on the strip due to fears of breaking the car so close to the run. A saturday would probably bring more members but theres nothing wrong with a long weekend of car carnage .track days are normally in the week so i would go anyday at all really, a later date maybe better due to the DB members but we will have to see what we get given or if it even happens again as its not for the last 2 years opening it up and putting it on the facebook page will bring more attention im sure , but then again look how little intrest in this thread there is already ?

ripped_fear Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I totally agree and for me makes no difference as I have a weird rota anyway. I will be there no matter, as long as pod don't mess us around again. Just trying to think from other peoples point of view. And I have to agree also, can't believe the lack of interest in the thread have people really forgotten how awesome an event this used to be? Best UK club meet by far. hopefully everyone are just sitting and waiting patiently instead of posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I think if its a weekday and we have plenty of notice of a definite booking from Santa Pod then most people could arrange something. We all work and lead busy lives but I would think most of us would gladly book a weekday off for such a great event. I guess I am speaking for myself here and there are others who for whatever reason can't or won't make a weekday possible for them, but likewise I am sure for some a Saturday is an issue. Suprapod is long overdue imo and I am looking forward to it being confirmed for this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

add heywood Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Personally I think if its a weekday you're going to struggle to get anywhere near the amount of people needed to make it viable... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 They offered us the date in May and nothing more. We are looking at an alternative where we go to Shakespear Raceway and then go to a local hotel for a night time drinky... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sukhy Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Cheers Branners. I guess May is out the question due to Dragonball. Any dates in mind for Shakespeare as I for one have a few holidays planned and do not want them to clash with this? I assume others may be in the same boat.

We are looking at an alternative where we go to Shakespear Raceway and then go to a local hotel for a night time drinky... Shakespeare raceway sounds good, always wanted to go to see what its like. Also like the idea of staying over for the night and having a drink, hope something can be sorted . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
