sunday 11th april 2010 at santa-pod
this has soon come round again, one of my favourite shows of the year.
we usually have a club stand at this and have a great turn out, i will sort this out at a later date
all details here, www.vwaction.co.uk

Il definately be there again! Love this show!
Hopefully we'll get club stand no1 again :smiley:

i`ve also heard that for a signing on fee(and being a license holder)you can now take a passenger up the strip.
i think if you sign on for £10 you can be a passenger in any car all day.
but check the santa-pod website for correct details

Only if your terminal speed is over 110mph.
in other words once you REMAP!!! you will need one :laugh: :laugh:
-

just wondered cos my mate was coming with me, but he is now otherwise detained, thought it wud be good to follow people down...

it says all you need is your licence on the website :smiley:
-
As mentioned, you are "supposed" to put an helmet on if your terminal velocity is 100mph (i.e. at the end of the strip), but I've seen people do those speeds but not have helmets on. Deffo need your licence and I think that mainly means the green bit, so take both to be on the safe side.
