Meathead Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Hi anyone ever taken their car to santa pod (or similar) i was thinking of doing something like that in the summer, do you need special insurance or need to alter your car in any way?

sonic Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 keep an eye on the meeting thread , some of the larger car shows are held at 'the pod' and has a good ccuk club turn out as for running the drag strip , only time you need some thing special , is a crash helmet , and thats only if you car hits over 100mph over the quarter mile , being a 140 gen 7 , even with an apollo rocket attached to the roof , you should be safe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
