The SIDC are pleased to announce that they will be in attendance at - The Japshow @ Santa Pod.

Date: Sunday 24th June 2007.

Venue: Santa Pod Raceway, Northampton.

There is actually action on the Saturday too but it is a normal RWYB day. They have incorporated this day in with the Sunday so you can buy tickets for both and save money, if you want to view the web site for more details, JapShow - Japanese Performance Car Event

Details:

The SIDC Club stand will only be there on the Sunday. We have secured a Club Stand area with a provision of 80 spaces.

The Club area is open to SIDC Members Only.

So it's pay on the day or book your own advanced tickets now.

RWYB - £15 gives you 3 runs down the 1/4 mile strip but Remember all cars need to be fully road legal with MOT and Driving Licence (both need to me brought with you). Please see and read Santa Pods web site for all the rules and regulations on running down the strip. The SIDC take No responsibility for any of the track action.

Normal insurance won't cover it, as in theory it is a 'timed event', which is excluded by pretty much every company.

TBH you won't need it anyway, you would have to be very, very, very (you get the idea) unlucky to crash on a quater mile strip.

It's a good crack running up the strip, you don't get time to get nervous when all the crowd are watching you, you get staged, then you concerntrate on the lights, the lights turn green, and you're gone!!

I raced Jonjo, beat him off the lights and thought YEAH BABY!!! then he shot past me like I was standing still and my time was a 13.3 sec run @107MPH!!! if I remember he got a 12.7 run!

Esc normally has 15 passes allocated for this & reserves as well , Or i just nick KS Allocation

But ....

Think Santa Pod has become a little long in the tooth now ( Well for me anyway ) Same cars , Same layout , Same strip , Traders etc .. Done it nearly 10 times now , Does not interest me personally anymore

But we normally have a ESC Pod crew who attend Hopefully a few names will be added soon

No Probs big Guy as you know I have never been a great fan of the Pod but its horses for courses and is certainly not a boring event so those that haven't been get your name down and have a good day

We always have a good turnout and the stand will be full

I have reduced the pre ordered number for Essex to 5 so please put your name down asap because the demand in the other regions has been very good

Gary exit @ J13 Mate , Cut across country A505 IIRC ( Baldock ) Can either pick the A1M Up or the M11 @ Stanstead & Then down to the 25

I Use this route everytime on the way home from the pod

Great driving road as well
