Santa Pod - Midweek test day / TOTB qualifier? 13th May.

Post by michael »

From the TOTB organisers:


Santa Pod day- midweek 13th May £100 per car if 40 cars or £50 @ 80 cars etc. fully prepped track and no queues! this is ideal for any clubs fancying a qualifier for totb but needs a quick response thanks.

Top speed- woodbridge 9th and 10th may 2 lanes with traps at 1m and 1 1/2miles.£60 per day per car


Email chris_mann86 @ hotmail.com if you are interested (without the spaces)

RAF Woodbridge is near Ipswich IIRC.

Spectators allowed? I know it's only a practice / shakedown / whatever but it's only a few miles from my house...

I'm not sure to be honest, I suspect they won't want 100's of people there but it's worth dropping them an email to ask - would be nice to have some people to support the drivers :)

If you can go around corners well a 12 second car might be more than acceptable :)

Very little interest in this so it looks like it might not happen - if any of you are keen please shout up asap so they can decide if it's worth hiring the venue out.

No updates on it since they said they needed more interest, I suspect it won't be happening.
