Track Action (Run What Ya Brung)
If you want to get your car out on the dragstrip and enter the Run What Ya Brung competition, remember to bring your driving license and £12 for your three runs on the strip.
We recommend you get there early to sign on for full use of the track, as this is likely to be a very popular competition. For full information regarding Run What Ya Brung visit http://www.rwyb.com
New classes and Run What Ya Brung rules for Santa Pod Raceway's Japanese Car shows:
After the success of the Japanese Performance Show at Santa Pod back in October 2003, it was decided that there was more than enough competitors to justify splitting the competition into separate categories that would identify the fastest cars in a number of manufacturer-based classes for future Japanese car events, including the Japshow in June and The Japanese Performance Show in October. This was as a direct result of requests from the public and press for more info on the times run by a variety of popular models, and should separate most models from the ever-dominant Skylines!
The new classes are as follows:
A Nissan/Datsun
B Toyota/Lexus
C Honda/Acura
D Mitsubishi/Proton
E Subaru
F Mazda
G Suzuki/Daihatsu/Isuzu
X All other vehicles and non-road legal
No prizes will be made available for category X, and please note that no track time will be made available for motorcycles.
Due to the ever-increasing levels of competitiveness in Run What Ya Brung competitions at Santa Pod, new guidelines have been introduced that show acceptable modifications. All Run What Ya Brung competitions are designed to cater mainly for road-legal cars. However, allowances have been made for some popular modifications that would not normally be deemed road-legal. Although some people say nitrous oxide is cheating in a road car, we say it's fun, so if you've got it, flaunt it!
Modifications from “road-legal” that are acceptable:
Removal of headlight to improve air induction
Nitrous oxide injection is permitted
Removal of wing mirrors, number plates and windscreen wipers is also acceptable
Important:
Your car must have DOT approved tyres with acceptable levels of tread!
Apart from the above modifications, your car must be MOT-worthy.
All drivers must produce a valid driving licence to sign-on.
