[Suede57]

I had my trade stand at the pod at the weekend, there was gonna be a treble six format 6 gassers 6 mopars vs 6 quick V.W s . Thought i would take some cool period race shots, unfortunatly the good old U.k weather blessed us with 36 hours of almost non stop rain, so heres a few pit shots.

Goldrush is looking good....funny, every time I see it, I cant help but think back to the 'other' Goldrush, the gold Pop that used to live in Kenton....

I haven't been there since the world finals in '94, then I came to Pomona for the finals...kinda killed the Pod for me http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

As for Goldrush, whats it got in it? I only saw it the once at The Ace just before I moved over here, what does it run in the 1/4?

Yeah the Pod is still number one ok, they have not cleaned up since about 1977 it was a total mudbath. You must remember it was a bank holiday weekend hence the monsoon.Terry has got down to long twelves

I remember when they used to move the toilets after each meeting & just dig a new hole for the 'stuff' to drain into....Ahhh, happy memories! And standing in line for ages to pay 5p for a pee when the 'new' toilets were installed....


Still remember the moment when I saw Slammin Sammy run 330+mph in Vanishing Point... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

Thanks for the piccies.
