Does the passenger have to be an adult?

I think this line from the Mas's post answers that question Passengers will need to bring their full UK driving licence and sign on in the usual manner

Fom the discussion I saw , yes it has to be another 'driver' I.E they show a licence. the suggestion online was that htis was so the marshalls didnt have to try and watch out for driver swapping. May be total bul as I said I only picked this up from online ( no always relaible). Im sure the Santa Pod website will have dded details if its all true just thought I'd highlight it as i only fell accross the discussion :wink:

Either way I'm sure ths will interest some of the folk who might go to your event.

I will be there. Hopefully with two cars so I can beat Sean twice.
:P
Seven or Eight guys off the 928 list have promised to come too.
Come on people go to the Pods site and book up ASAP.

Sean

Maybe best to advertise the trophies that can be won?

I'm going ! even our track will be thawed out by April :bigsmurf:

" Come on people go to the Pods site and book up ASAP. "
( 17th April isnt showing on the Santapod shop ? ).

Whats the score can I bring a non drag 'support vehicle' to carry the family at a reasonable cost ? . It looks like 35 quid for me all in and 10 pound for the missus with the kids free am I reading it right , if so should we be booking these advance tickets.
Also I just saw their Retro Show that looks very 80's very me :wink:


Cheers Mas

I wouldn't pay in advance for a RWYB event in case it rains.

I have e-mailed Darren Prentice about this.
He promised in December to sort it out in the New Year.
I will start badgering him on the phone...

Places are limited.
If you pay in advance you get a 'rain of value'.
Basically if the day is written off through rain you get free entry to a similar event.

Its the UK if we are scared of the rain then we may as well never leave the house...
