Here are a few pics from Sunday's action at Santa Pod. Some pics aren't great, I'm a bit out of practice and despite asking them to slow up a bit, they didn't.
I have the times/mph for most bikes if you can specify any that you are interested in that i don't include already. Times are not necessarily the best results, just the ones of the runs i saw. Pics will be over a few posts...


Triumph nearest 12.02/112.78

12.68/114.66

9.49/143.39

No result on this run

10.39/131.42

Thanks for putting these up - they are excellent and takes me back to the 70s before the Pod was commercialised.

Keep 'em coming

Is that "the" John Hobbs on Olympus in the first two pictures?

Thanks Gary. Always a challenge to take pics at Santa Pod, I wish I had a Press Pass so i didn't have to stand so far away up on the bank. It usually means only one lane is clearly in shot.

Pigford the Fiat 126 ran 10.83/125.83.

Great pics, thanks for posting them. I was there Sat/Sun, and it was worth it to see the fire burnouts Sat night, despite the event not really starting until 4.00pm ish due to the fecking rain. Sunday made up for it though.
If you look closely at a couple of your pics you`ll see some dodgy fat bloke with sunglasses on lurking in the background (clue:behind the Fiat 126), don`t know who that n`er do well is, but he looks highly suspicious!) There are some good vids here too: http://www.rodsnsods.co.uk/forum/topic/ ... deos-62091
