some photos from Santa Pod

I had my trade stand at the pod at the weekend, there was gonna be a treble six format 6 g***ers 6 mopars vs 6 quick V.W s . Thought i would take some cool period race shots, unfortunatly the good old U.k weather blessed us with 36 hours of almost non stop rain, so heres a few pit shots.

 

Another of Terrys 41

 

Goldrush is looking good....funny, every time I see it, I cant help but think back to the 'other' Goldrush, the gold Pop that used to live in Kenton....

Dave...showing my age now

 

Yeah, he often gets reminded of that

 

Some cool pics...so far!

How is The Pod? Still Europes #1 drag facility

I haven't been there since the world finals in '94, then I came to Pomona for the finals...kinda killed the Pod for me

As for Goldrush, whats it got in it? I only saw it the once at The Ace just before I moved over here, what does it run in the 1/4?

Yeah the Pod is still number one ok, they have not cleaned up since about 1977 it was a total mudbath. You must remember it was a bank holiday weekend hence the monsoon.Terry has got down to long twelves

As recently as that!

I remember when they used to move the toilets after each meeting & just dig a new hole for the 'stuff' to drain into....Ahhh, happy memories! And standing in line for ages to pay 5p for a pee when the 'new' toilets were installed....


Still remember the moment when I saw Slammin Sammy run 330+mph in Vanishing Point...

Thanks for the piccies.

Dave

 

cool pics, you guys complain about Santa Pod..... I was there 14 or so years ago and I think it was still flasher then Meremere is today
Mate of mine had for a short time a 2 door early 60's Falcon wagon that had come from Santa Pod grounds, wonder where it ended up.....
