UK Cal look Drag Day

The SAS Rennwagens, the JG54 Greenhearts and the Air Cooled Eliminator VW Clubs have organised a Drag Test & Tune Day at Santa Pod Raceway on the 17th of May 2009.

Drag Day Initational

The event is going by the name if “The SAS Rennwagen / JG54 / ACE invitational”  and as the title implies , this is an invite only event, intended to be for the quickest aircooled car’s in the country.

No sheds, no stockers, no queuing among a load of Buses, this is for 15.99 second and quicker Bugs, Karmann Ghia's and Type 3’s. Its the perfect opportunity to test and tune your car along with other aircooled gear heads.

If you are interested in racing and think your VW has what it takes please email details of your car including specification, vehicle type (type 1/type 3 etc.) any times previously run and a photograph of your car along with your full name to drag-day@live.co.uk . If they agree your car also fits the bill you will get an invite to come along and you will be sent full booking details. 

This event takes place along side the Peak Performance day (Sunday) and one of the main benifeits of this is there is a limit of 100 cars that run on the strip, plus it’s a FULLY prepped track to actual race standards, so you'll get a good number of runs in on a very well prepped, sticky track .

Santa Pod have allocated the Cal lookers a large pit area, and the intention is that participants all head down to the Pod on Saturday the 16th of May to get setup in the pits, get cars ready etc. and have a get together in the evening. There is RWYB on the Saturday, but this is not included in the ticket prices listed below. If you wish to race you will need to sign in on the day with the general public (I think a number of owners will be doing this). Those that can’t do the whole weekend would still be most welcome to join us on the Sunday only.

Tickets:

A weekend Ticket costs £66.00 including racing. Passengers pay the entrance fee only of £15.00 (note, if booked separately this would be subject to a £1.00 booking fee).

A Sunday only Ticket costs £61.00 including racing. Passengers for Sunday only pay the entrance fee only of £10.00 (note, if booked separately this would be subject to a £1.00 booking fee).

If anyone would like to go along and watch the racing they would be more than welcome. Santa Pod standard entry fee’s apply (£10.00 normally, please see their website for details).

Bookings are now being taken and bearing in mind the limited number of tickets available and the fact that a large number of bookings have already been made, to stand a good chance of getting in tickets need to be booked within the next week or so.
