Santa Pod scruteneering

[clean16v]

Its gonna be the same as york i assume? I dont have the part that holds the battery to the tray but York said because i have a carbon bonnet it didnt matter. Should i get this addressed before the RTOC day?

Do they scrutineer at Pod???

Ive never been done...

there is no scrutineering at santa pod

the only time you need a helmet, is through choice, or if you have a terminal of 100mph+

its basically, run what ya brung, in the lightest form

No scrutineering at Santa Pod, although no doubt if your car was falling to bits on the line then theyd pull you out. They are always hot on keeping your windows up though. Apart from that its more the driver that they do the checks on, not the car.

Will be weird running without a helmet.......looking forward to it though, never been to pod before.

I took my RT on the edzell strip in scotland as that happens to be the closest thing to me.

Anyway they didnt seem to hot on checking anything, no helmet required, when i went to sign for runs i wasnt even asked for my license which i read you do require.

I think they generally dont allow rear passangers but they didnt seem to mind us going in the back of a friends nissan 200sx.

Of course an RT isnt exactly helmet materal.

Nope, POD dont check at all mate!

Why would you want passengers when you are trying to get a quick quarter mile time

 

[PsYch0]

ah he wasnt trying for a quick time when we were in the car obviously, just for fun.

But yeah i agree you wouldn generall want passengers if going for a quick time.

the only time you need to wear a helmet at santa pod is when you havent got a roof i.e converables.

just make sure your windows are up, and dont bother doing a burnout in the water at the start if you have road tyres. its pointless IMO

^^^haha!....do people still do that with their remoulds?!....it was like that last time i went. a bloke in a 1.6 Orion blew his offside front tire off before the run! cretin.
