Saturday Night Special at Santapod

stevejwest · 05-11-2005, 00:18

Santa Pod have a RWYB Saturday Night Special advertised on the 18th Feb 2006

Any one up for more 1/4 action?

There looks to be 3 Skodas going to this one so far - Any more want to join us?

bengie · 05-11-2005, 00:39

sounds good

get the van on't strip

stevejwest · 22-12-2005, 22:25

Well weve got 4 going if I can get the 4th one started

flatfourburble · 27-12-2005, 12:46

If I'm allowed I'll pop down

Tom_vRS · 31-01-2006, 01:08

I'll be there.

Will Mikie be going - yes I do know him, and glad he could help!

flatfourburble · 31-01-2006, 18:25

Saturday Entry: £10 per person Track: £20 unlimited runs

devonutopia · 31-01-2006, 18:27

Damn, that sounds like fun.

Shall consult my diary and if many more Skuds are going I'll see if its worth the 3 hour drive there and back.

edit: 223 miles.

May have to see if I can make it into a weekend with my relations up there instead. Maybe with some extra time off work built in.

day tripper · 31-01-2006, 22:33

Ill be there but on the cruisinuk stand. Ill be racing in a black suzuki ignis sport.

This night is looking very popular.

Matt_D · 01-02-2006, 19:04

I think i may go down and have a few runs!

Shifty · 01-02-2006, 19:15

So, do you book in advance, or just turn up.

Seems a long way to go not to get a run, and I can't see a way on the site to pre book.

I assume its like any other RWYB day, apart from being a bit darker

Pay £10 at the gate to get in, fill in the form given to you, then pay £20 at the registration office and you get a wristband, then enjoy unlimited 1/4 runs!

day tripper · 05-02-2006, 23:09

Notice for anyone who is going, make sure you bring a helmet as santa pod dont have many.

devonutopia · 05-02-2006, 23:16

Is anyone else going to this? I might try and make a weekend of it, if lots of others go for it?

Tom_vRS · 06-02-2006, 00:40

I hope to be going.

For clarification - it is an all day event.

And I thought you only needed a helmet if you would be doing more than 100mph... No need for the Furbys!

I won't be there all day - maybe 3 hours or so...

unless things have changed since my last visit you dont need a lid unless it's a open top.

From the website

Soooo, is it possible to maybe start a brand new thread with the date in the title so names can be added? Like I said, I'll go if many others are going, but won't go on my tod.

edit: Will i be doing more than 100mph? That is a damn good question! I know that over a distance of around 0.33/0.34 of a mile my car will top 110mph, and as a lot of that time is spent in the 100+ bracket, I'm hoping that by 0.25 of a mile I'll be in the mid 90s.

Tom_vRS · 06-02-2006, 21:06

I can't come now fellas - sorry.

day tripper · 06-02-2006, 21:24

Why not? Its great fun, I was looking forward to blasting some skoda ***.

johnyardley · 10-02-2006, 10:58

Doubtful as February doesn't have 29 days!

The dates in February are 12, 18, 19 and 26th

the 22rd and 29th are the January dates

See http://www.briskoda.net/forums/briskoda-meets-events/

devonutopia · 10-02-2006, 11:41

So is this Saturday night still on?

I need to start making arrangements with my relations in Leics to stay over Friday & Sat night a.s.a.p.

Any definites put up below.

1) devonutopia (assuming at least 4 or 5 others go too

)

flatfourburble · 10-02-2006, 12:39

I'm not working now so I might be able to pop down.

devonutopia · 10-02-2006, 12:43

Goochie · 10-02-2006, 12:54
