Santa Pod!!!!

**Mrsmopp** · Friday 14th January 2005, 13:24

I have been watching my santa od vids of all the events we did there last year and decided we need something to look forward to.

I would suggest that we book a date towards the end of April (as per last year) to start the SP meets. Is anyone still intested in going this year?

I'm keen - never been to Pod. Mrs Goof won't be interested, but the kids will!

Oh and for those of us who were looking to try Avon park... http://www.avonparkraceway.com/index.htm..... 2nd April?

MMMMmmmm let me think about that one........
Yes please, count me in!!!!!
The pod has always been a good meet, even when the weather has been against us.
Definately a good place to meet, with plenty to see and hear!
It would be good to see some new faces and volvos this year.
Come on newbies, go on treat yourself!!!
All those T5's in one place, that must be worth going to!
A must if you are a keen Volvo owner.

Well lets face it, what's better than been driven in a T5?
Being driven by a bird in a T5.
Nuff said me thinks!

All sounds really good, dont c any reason y not, either strip for me, both about 2 or more hours away b a nice little drive!, itll b my first time on somethin like that so hope i can make it!

JP - we tend to do a cheap travel lodge the night before so that we dont have an early drive there in the morning (its best to get to Santa Pod before 9am) it also means we can have a good meal and a few drinks together the night before.

We normally pay £35 for the room and its a tenner to get into the pod and £15 to race - money well spent and once you have paid to race you can go up as often as you like.

I may not be able to hold out that long. April is a long way off. First Pod meet is 23rd Jan but I guess this is a bit soon. Anyway - I am keen to see how the new AT box is performing

Other interesting news is that my best mate is buying a Camaro? (5.7litre V8) and is very keen to test it out. I said I would give him a good thrashing (I hope

)

MrsM. I thought Saturdays were no good for you...? Or are you spliting times between forums...?
How far is Avon Park from Santa POD....I suppose the question is where's Avon Park....?
