Santa Pod, RWYB (Run What You Brung) home of the boy racer, harcore dragster owner, and yes the humble metro driver!
Going to santa pod you realise how few of your normal "boy racer" cars you see there. Thats because they just wont cut it
on the track, stickers wont help there. A normal Nova 1.4SR I've heard will give you a 1/4 mile time of 21seconds (considering I've
seen Nova GSi's stripped and modded get 18.44 I would think this entirely possible, seeing as an SR is 30bhp down on power) compare
that 21 seconds to a 1.1 metro's time of 19.4 seconds, now you realise why they dont show up.
Now I'm still driving a metro, so I can assume the usual sniggers and such when I'm parked up. But that turns to a questioning
second glance from people after you've just laid a few sub 18 second time down (or in the case of a 1.8 sub 16 seconds).
Heres a few pics of the times PMC has travelled down to santa pod and some of me ont he track, including a video of me getting
17.8 and beating a guys 1.1 metro and one of a Metro GTi beating a modded Saxo VTS. Enjoy...
