I won't go into the in's and out's of the raceway itself. All of that information can be found on the website. Instead, I'll tell you about my own experience which should provide you with an insight as to how it all works. I've been to several Flame & Thunder and Saturday Night specials over the last few years all of which I have enjoyed immensely. It is easy to find, and there are a number of hotels within a 15 minute drive of the raceway. I've camped out at the raceway itself before which is provided at major events.

For the past couple of years my Partner and I have been down to the Santa Pod for the PV show which stands for Performance Vauxhall.

I've always been a big lover of cars and the like of Formula 1 etc, you could say I am a little bit of a speed demon, however when I was asked by a friend if I wanted to go to Santa Pod, to be honest I had never heard of it before and basically they said it was to watch the drag racing, which sounded pretty cool, so i agreed to go. Being a bit apprehensive about where I was going I did a google search and found that it did actually have its own website, most things do these days, however the site iself was very impressive and I noticed that they had all different events on every weekend throughout the year. Santa Pod is based in Northampton and is the home of ... Read the complete review
