We started off badly, even before we arrived to the Pod it was standing traffic. As we thought it’s probably only a mile to the event, we’d walk. Bad idea. It turned out to be a lot further – and the cars we left behind beat us there!

We couldn’t have asked for a better day, well most of us were happy – apart from Adam (see photos below of the awesome sun cream coverage). The racing was awesome as usual… but ended before the finalé due to a spectator being injured by flying debris (unfortunately he then later died).

The journey home was also riddled with events – two accidents closed off the motorway – but luckily we managed to take some minor detours to avoid it all. 5 miles from home we then got a blow out. 13 guys and we couldn’t change the flat. The bloody wheel nuts were bolted on with some sort of super bolter-onner. The AA eventually turned up and got us on our way.

All in all though, a cracking day out! Check out Santa Pod for any upcoming events. I definitely recommend it!
