SANTA POD
"Run What Ya Brung!!!"
Sunday 10th February 2002
Santa Pod Raceway, Poddington, Bedfordshire
Another great day at the pod. It stayed dry despite various threats of rain and the low turnout from other factions meant very minimal queuing time, with most GTO'ers averaging 6 or 7 runs on the day.
We had some cheapo trophies to present later on in the day, nowt too serious, just a bit of fun.
I personally cocked up most of my starts and my best run was also my first one of the day which saw me knock off nearly 1/2 a second on my previous best time (thanks to the boost controller I've now got fitted!). Simon Baker was still giving me a good run for my money in his totally stock GTO - our cars still seem to be pretty even despite me adding a K&N and DSBC (perhaps it's because his is an MR).
Anyway, here are some photo's and the results...
