danny allen Posted January 9, 2008 Report Share Posted January 9, 2008 SUNDAY APRIL 13th 2008GTI SPRING FESTIVALContact: 01279 72 52 52 or www.vwaction.co.ukVenue: Santa Pod Raceway, Wellingborough, Northants. NN29 7XA.The 'GTi Spring Festival' now in its fourth year, has certainly grown and grown. It is now without doubt a very major 'Season Opener'. It already exceeds the visitor numbers of the July 'GTI Summer Festival', which has been running for 16 years! With Sprinting, Show and Shine, Clubs, Autojumble and Traders, it follows a simple formula, which has for many years has included the Fireforce Jet Funny Car which will be the one vehicle guaranteed to have most of the audience rushing track side the second it fires up for each demonstration pass.The show itself offers all day sprinting for a single signing on fee, which is hugely popular. But don't forget your driving licence (you cannot sign on for Sprinting without it). The early season event was good for many personal bests last year, which may be down to a combination of the 'track bite' glue sprayed on to the Santa Pod quarter-mile, and the very good air quality at this time of year. 'Personal Bests' set at Santa Pod are also 'real', meeting all international timing standards. The timing equipment is accurate to within less than one thousandth of a second.The overall formula for this show is very simple, the major elements being the activity on the Sprint Track/Drag Strip and the Show and Shine. The Show and Shine is one of the best in the country, with in the region of 100 contestants. There is no charge for entry into the Show and Shine, and it is becoming a popular show at which to debut new or revamped cars after the winter lay off. Gates open at 8.00am with the track open from 10.00am. There is plenty of opportunity to browse trade stands, check out the autojumble and club displays, as well as watch (or even try a few runs on) the dragstrip. Overseas visitors to the show will receive free admission on production of their ferry tickets/proof of travel, we expect to see a few more European visitors this year. MISS IT . . . MISS OUT!http://www.vwaction.co.uk/springframe.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
