Santa Pod

[Toejam]

looked like it ran out of fuel before the finish line....thats the only way to "shut off" a rocket car or bike in this case

I bet he won't even attempt to run that thing unless he has at least 2,500 ft up top!

came home today from santa pod and it was an absolutely fantastic weekend all round.. eric on the rocket bike was amazing on both days .. he ran a 5.3 with a 30mph wind hitting him in the side on sunday. the pro mods provided some amazing highlights with lots of 6.0's and melanie coming back out after her round 1 defeat ( who would have thought) to run a great 5.93/242mph

also very pleased that my all time favourite European driver Urs Erbacher came back from his NHRA journeys and absolutely whooped everyone. it will give mr carter something to think about before round 2 in finland.

Eric was interviewed over the PA. He was asked what sort of horse power the engine was putting out. He said 1200. Then he was asked what it was capable of developing. He said 7000!

Here are a couple of photos of this beast without the body work that I took a few years ago.

It sure blew me away. I also suggest to everyone if you have the money, make your way over to Santa Pod, the people are great and the track has an awesome vibe not to mention excellent racing across the board.

Very nice clean consistant runs from Erbacher all weekend. a deserved winner.

 

[Surfer Ed]

Not sure who was tuning Urs last weekend, but I am pretty sure it wasn't Wayne Dupuy.

It was Robin Grice, the guy stood behind the car with the Grey hair and glasses. A very clever man and shadowed Wayne when he worked for Urs.
