GTI Festival at Santa Pod on the 11th July is exactly what you need!

The best Golf's will probably do high 11 seconds. Highly modified cars though, don't expect anything near from a 'normal' GTI

hmm might have a look down to that, i run my other car at local dragstrips, but have fancied seeing what the golf can do, its standard aswell but so much fun drag racing

What if there's a madman racing ya?  He might come and ram you at 70mph, and you wont be insured!

[Chrisb]

 
santa pod usually only do 3 runs for your 15 so could be well worth it

Please bear in mind that a lot of the cars I was up against were race prepped, whereas the only mods I have are a Miltek exhaust and a K&N filtercharger.
