Santa Pod - Flame & Thunder

First time at a drag meeting and boy what an experience!!!! I'll let the photo's speak, but seeing a jet car reach nearly 300mph in 6 seconds is a m a z i n g . Don't think I'll ever forget the noise and the smell!!!!

There's no pics of the jet cars actually racing as I had my fingers in my ears and ran out of hands to work the camera!!!!

looks a great day
glad the weather held off

great pics

cheers guys. The rain held off thank god as it was fairly muddy anyway!

As an avid aviation enthusiast I thought no ear protection is ok as they always bang on about this and it usually fine at shows, but I have never experienced noise like these cars - my brain would bleed without something to stop the noise!!

Next year I need ear defenders, wellies and sandwiches.. and a video camera!

I remember seeing the santa pod shop selling ear defenders at mitp.

But I suppose when you have a few of the noisey sods it can get abit ott.
