Santa Pod.

I noticed over on SXOC a post about the barn at Santa Pod, it is being taken down and replaced with a brick wall.
Has anybody else heard this? It does seem to be fact according to one bloke on the thread. All due to H&S again...
Santa Pod will be supplying more grandstand seating but I do not know about anywhere being under cover.

yes tis true

They are planning to add some cover elsewhere

The barn used to be almost three times the size it is now , used to be great , a must to watch the jet car from the barn at least once

Have a look at the video of the pod in the 70's , no proper armco, bump starting top fuel cars inches from the spectators and crowds of 60,000 people.

A real busy drag meet has 20,000 people nowadays thats why the tracks like lifestyle events like Japfest and the bug jam , they get better crowds.

sad though
