Monday 23rd September Test Day
*Costs*
Entry for Driver/Rider and 4 crew is £110
Camping £10pp
Spectators £10pp
Payment to [email protected] via paypal as a gift please with vehicle make/model and Racer name and which date you will be attending.
Please note if you sign up and cant make the event then a 50% refund will be given if you let me know 7 days before the event. If you cancel within 7 days before the event then no refunds will be given. I have had to put this in place to protect people who genuinely cant make it so they get something back and to protect the event so the funds are in the pot to ensure the day happens.
*Gate Entry*
No tickets - there will be a list of entrants on the gate. When arriving at the security gate please give the booked on drivers full name and then they will tick you off for any crew as they come in they will be ticked off as crew 1 2 3 4 etc. If your name isn’t on the list you won’t be allowed in, the gate staff have my number and will call me if there is any issues. Its open pitting for racers but most usually pit behind the grandstand or on the opposite area of the pairing lanes.
Sunday Camping Arrivals – Racers/Crews who have paid for camping can enter from approx 6pm onwards however as there is a large event on tye racing needs to finish and the site needs to be cleared before we are allowed in. However Santa Pod are organised with this but it may mean a wait outside the gates.
Monday Racer/Crew Arrivals - Gates open at 8am.
*Sign on procedure & Race Numbers*
Track sign on is done the “oldskool” way as we know it via the signing on office where you will need to present your license and signing on form. The sign on forms will be in the sign on office. I do have a email version of you want to print before you come. You will need driver license.
Please let me know if you need me to email the form and I will do. I do carry some spares if anyone needs one and there is some worst case in the sign on office but please print at home if you can.
*Racing*
The day runs on RWYB ruling so please familiarise yourself with the rules so that you can meet any requirements.
See RWYB Rules- https://rwyb.co.uk/rules.php
See video below from Santa pod.
RACE NUMBERS - A lot of the racers have there own race numbers on their vehicle so please use this for the day. If you don't have a number and want to create your own I would advise using your initials and then a number just so it is unique to you and the tower staff don't have any issues on the day. I will provide a pen on the day so we can write names on the back of your car if not they will use your reg numbers.
The track will be prepped and run as best as seen fit by the Santa Pod track crew. To meet everyone's testing needs we will run 1 Lane for treaded tyres and 1 Lane for slick tyres and then towards the end of the day open up both lanes for some grudge racing, this way gives everyone a fair crack to the best track for their application. Only cars that are paid onto the event will be permitted on track. Anyone caught trying to race who isn’t part of the event won't be coming back and will be told to leave immediately. Please don’t abuse our trust. The track usually opens around 9.30 and closes at around 5pm with a half hour lunch break for the staff.
Passengers Runs
I have no issue with anyone having a passenger ride in any of the racers cars. You will need to sign on as a passenger in the sign on office and meet Santa Pods criteria.
*Rain/Dryer situation*
If we have a rain off situation on the day no refunds or credits are given and no date change etc as the track is a one off private booking unfortunately. The track crew will do their best to get us racing however we have to be patient as we all know safety is 100% priority. Their is the possibility of using the jet dryer worst case but that would be an external cost which would be separate to Racer entry and would need to be decided on the day if we called a drivers meeting.
*Behaviour*
Please behave as adults and no foolishness its simple. If anything gets reported to me or the Santa Pod staff then I give my full backing if required to have anyone removed from the site or any racing will stop until the situation has been sorted. Please when camping have a few beers and enjoy the evening calmly security will be on site so don't want phone calls saying people are messing about revving engines and generally being idiots towards the Santa Pod staff.
Hospitality
The Santa Pod shop will be open for Nitrous and Fuel and merchandise snack etc, they do ask that you ring ahead if any fuel/Nitrous is wanted to make sure they have stock. The burger van by the grandstand will also be open. Toilets blocks will be open.
Any questions or problems please let me know.
Cheers 🙂
