Tough life aye! It would be great to see them, thinking about it why don't you just start a new thread in the picture section and stick them straight up there? Failing that, you can batch upoload to photobucket saves a bit of time, but gets a bit unreliable if you upload more than about 5 at a time.

Zapp Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 One of my permissions is about 1/2 a mile from the runway at S P. It can be quite handy when they get the dragsters going as the noise gets the pigeons moveing! Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SNAKEBITE Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 I tried drag racing once................ but kept tripping over in the high heels. I did go there once to a "run what ya' brung" day. It was when the Escort cosworth first came out. All these flash boys with the new toys all got thrashed by an old MK1 Cortina with a cossie engine. It looked a right wreck but blew them all away. Classic. It was amazing how many boy racers had the engine blow up and oil going everywhere!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Darebear, Thanks very much for taking the time to do that, much appreciated The hardware seems to have moved on a bit since my days there, but I bet the combined smell or rubber, nitro and doughnuts is still the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darebear Posted June 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 ha. steve for sure. well, i suppose i could eat a cheese and onion pie santa pod is seriously cool for all those who havent been. they have various events on throughout the year. check out http://www.santapod.co.uk/ if steve is home when its on, i wanna go to the event in september. the four days including camping only costs £46 or something if you get it in advance. i think under 16's go free. its excellent. i can thoroughly recommend it. sigh.... the smell of top fuel fumes, nitrous, burning rubber...... the memories. you can walk through the pits day and night and talk to the crews. they even have showers (thank f for that). you arent allowed dogs with you or glass bottles, but id recommend bringing your own alcohol. its rrrrather expensive. and the catering was good. omg .... they had a van selling REAL coffee. i was sorted .
