The weekend trip to Santa Pod was GREAT!
Lots of cars, lots of actions and of course, LOTS OF ENGINE NOISE! Even that I am Deaf, my ears hurts.
But we both enjoyed the weekend event and would do it again next year if we can.
On Sat night, just before it ends at 7pm, there was a big jet car which sadly exploded as it starts to speed off. The fire raged from the jet and the car was moving slowly along the drag strip. The rescue crew was taking TOO long to attend the jet car and the people at the start line had to run after the jet car to rescue the driver inside it. It was a good 2 to 3 minutes before he can be dragged out of the burning car.
Thankfully the guy was fine. Good old fireproof clothing that saved him.
Sunday was “Run What Ya Brung” - http://www.rwyb.co.uk - any cars ranging from Nova car, family wagon to a fast car like Evo, Scooby and heavily modified cars. They put their cars on the drag strip to see how fast they can go and how long it took them to do it. Was a good day too.
Plently of photos at my Gallery - Santa Pod photos - no movies yet as I don’t have firewire card in my computer to copy from the video camera… need to borrow or buy one if it’s cheap enough.
And it was VERY hard for me when I have NO money at all - I saw loads of stuff I wanted to buy but I couldn’t. I had to ask the missus to withdraw £100 so we can buy some stuff for ourselves and myself. Even dinner and lunch - so very big thank you to her. Still waiting for my new card and PIN number…
Our Monday starts with a day off as we have a delivery coming in today between 12pm to 6pm - don’t you hate it when they can’t give you a specific time? I’m hoping for 12pm so we can go out and enjoy the day.
Hope you enjoy your Monday!
