Shane Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the great turnout today guys. The pitch we had was meant to be for 25 cars but they must have measured it for 25 Micras as 18 cars pretty much filled it without parking on top of each other. Will mention it to Santa Pod next time we book. But great to fill it this time, puts us in good stead for future bookings.

berg Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Finally got on the stand around 11am Big thanks to Steve for bringing the fluid, life saver and great club spirit ☺ Now time to replace the clutch line Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjy Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Great day today. Thanks Shane for arranging it. The stand was a bit small. Maybe when they give us a decent sized stand, we can lay the cars out nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig85 Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Great show today, thanks for putting it together Shane! It was a shame the stand was so small, perhaps they saw all the crowds and realised these cars need to be the centre of attention next time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra_ufo Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 thanks for organising, I was pretty tired, 6am start and a 3 hour journey. Shame about the stand, it was tiny, I had to park next to them fugly vans, why on earth would anyone want to see those vans is beyond me, they had a bigger plot than us! I think Santpod keep screwing us over yet we go back... :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attero Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah I've never really understood why we always have a small section - maybe they think we are too awesome and rare. But then I'm an optimist... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Posted October 12, 2015 Author Share Posted October 12, 2015 Yeah I've never really understood why we always have a small section - maybe they think we are too awesome and rare. But then I'm an optimist... I am not sure we have had a small section previously? Last year at the finale we had plenty of room but struggled to fill it. Santa Pod get a bit funny about it and want you to commit to a certain amount of tickets per stand size now. I committed to 25 cars and that was the space allocated to us. I could lie and say we will have 50 cars turn up, but then when we don't it makes us look silly the next time we request a plot. Its a bit of a juggling act tbh, and understandably not too many people want to commit early on and pay up for a ticket well in advance for Santa Pod events, but then its difficult to make a firm commitment re the size of stand we want. But, I will speak to them re the size of yesterday's stand as it was a struggle, but better than using the public car park that's for sure.

craig85 Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I liked the spacious interior and leather seats but I wont admit that I poked my head in a couple, the rears looked a great place to be; mini fridges, TV's and big armchair like seats! Did you see the one in show and shine with the playroom in the back? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ripped_fear Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I managed a 15.4 et @90mph. Was happy with that, wish I had collected my time slips earlier though as it would have helped me gauge the launch a little better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaqTRD Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 You got a quick time Saq! Happy with my time. Ran a 12.8 @ 112mph on street tyres with a sticky VSV. I'm pretty confident I can get it in the low 12's. Not bad for a BPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
