im 5 minutes down the road from the pod, so i'll pop in
Worth remembering that it costs £10 per PERSON to get in regardless of if you are running your car or not.
I went a couple of times last year and it was a good laugh, My advice would to plan a date well in advance and try to make some account of the weather conditions.... It can get really cold there and if it starts raining thats usually the day down the pan. (though they do use track driers where possible)
Would be good to meet a few people from here and tip the balance away from the usual crowd there and see a few alfas for once!!!

The only thing you need to go drag racing at the famous Santa Pod Raceway is a valid UK driving licence, £10 for admission and a £20 signing-on fee. You'll be entitled to unlimited runs or as many as your nerves will allow! After each run you'll receive a personal performance print-out showing your reaction times to the start lights, ¼ mile and 1/8 mile times, 0-100mph and top speed. If you really get hooked you could then apply for a competition licence and enter a street class at a proper race meeting because, don't forget, the RWYB days are how most of the professional racers get started.
For further information call Santa Pod on (01234) 782828.
Venue normally opens at 8.00am with track runs starting at 9am - 5pm.
NB: Don't forget your driving licence! Helmets required for RWYB bikes and open top cars.
