What could be less fun than standing around in a car park with a bunch of sceney-people, everyone wears Chinos at an Edition meet, never any good. Only Edition show worth going to is Edition... which I realise makes no sense, but the 3 day one.  :signLOL:

Oh true buddy.
Normally I go to Springfest as it's more of an action meet and then look at pictures from Edition. Last year I went to Springfest, my mate went to Edition, and he came to Springfest at 2 saying he was bored LOL

With the weather we are expecting I can't say no to track time..

I was thinking about going to this, but the only time I've ever drag raced mine was at Inters last year and it was terrible, just no grip and wheelspin in third. How does the Pod's sticky tarmac compare?

Santa pod has literally just had its track resurfaced. Was done in time for Fast Car show but well the rain stopped play. So in theory, if the sun comes out like planned, should be perfect.

Shame I have no wheels :( literally!
