    I had a great time last year, ran out of beer though in the evening.
    I'm looking forward to the next one.

    Re: Frog of the Pod @ Santa Pod, Friday 1st July

    We have sorted a date .

    Sunday 02/09/2012

    This year we have decided to see how it goes tagging on to one of the Peak Performance days .Booking Pod at the weekend is impossible but this way it will give those not able to attend during the week a chance to pop along if only to spectate .
    http://www.rwyb.co.uk/performance.php

    Still the same unlimited running time as limited to 100 cars on the day .
    We have purchased 40 tickets at a reduced price so space will be limited ( this was based on runners over the past few years )

    It also means there will be a lot of 'other ' cars on show to keep us all entertained

    Thats a good idea, whoever came up with that, well done

    Previous years track conditions have been very average because we usually (or never ?) pay for the additional track preperation. At a peak performance day the track will be 10 times what we have been used to before. The lot will be glued, not just the 60' or 330', whatever they normally do.

    There also won't be that many other cars if normal test/tune days are anything to go by. There won't be much of a queue and they will be serious racers, not idiots with treads pulling water and other crap up the track. Should be a good day.

    Hi All - just a thought - can the name of this thread be changed as it may be an immediate turn off for those who find it hard to get time off work and actually it's on a Sunday LOL.

    When can we expect tickets to go on sale? After National day?

    Me and my bro will both be attending, I have even managed to persuade the mrs to come along.

    Like DJ said, will there be camping available on the Saturday night?

    We definitely won't be out in the field, this is more of a testing day for the others that will be there, it'll be a quiet day compared to what we are used to on a regular RWYB day for example

    no national day is over, this is the next event im looking forward to, ill also be bringing the r5 to this one to get a few runs down, out of interest will there be an option for limited runs to anything, rather than the full day spec.

    No, it's just the full day option unfortunately but for £60 that's awesome. It's not the usual RWYB day, the place will be heaving with ridiculously powered tuning company cars and the track will be fully race prepped, which we've never had before

    Tickets for 1/4 milers are for sale in the club shop right now guys

    Any spectators can just pay their entrance on the gate
