I would take it back and ask for a refund. I would have thought 180 minimum.

See my threads :coat:
Santa Pod Raceway unless you've been in a galaxy far far away this is the place where you can go as fast as you like and make as much noise as you possibly can.
Next meet is Sept 30th :idea:
However as correctly pointed out by rik you've only got 1320 feet to do it........but you do get as many runs as you can squeeze in :yup: ;)

I definitely want to do this one day Gus. I went to Shakespeare last year for a bit of a recce with full intention of getting to a RWYB day at one of the strips this year. Its been a busy year and whenever a meet has been on I've either been away or at work!

I don't think I'd get to the 158mph but I'd give it a bloody good shot ;) I have a spare belt now too.

I'm on an agreement to go to Bulldog with Wobblyone next year too (If he's reading this) But by the looks of the numbers at that do I'd probably get stage fright and just sit in the beer tent instead :)

Might be mistaken but I believe this years Bulldog was the last, the ground has finally been sold/ planning permission given (delete as appropriate). Houses next year :sad1:

Been to few bashes,haven't been for a few years,but a mate of mine who was there last year said the whole feel of the event has gone downhill,it's probably run its course anyway. :clap:
