The Cal-look Lounge

I have to say all that helped organise the Drag Day deserve a huge thanks and several pats on the back. Excellent organisation, cool cars, big butties and coffee and a whole host of prizes that covered all bases from daily drivers to all out racecars - the event had it all. Those of you who missed the show: you really should make the effort next year as the guys go to great lengths to make the show special. From welcome packs including T-shirts, magazines and stickers to a full-on breakfast for drivers, this is one show where the emphasis is on having fun and meeting new friends. A great line up of sponsors (who also deserve praise ;) ensured great prizes for racers making racing just that little extra special  8)
See you ther next year ;)

One of our guys was getting some proper video footage so some decent video will be available soon  :)

 :)

REALLY REALLY glad that you all enjoyed it, I had a blast despite my own mechanical issues on the day.


As mentioned above, a big thanks to our sponsors without whose very generous support the event would not have been possible, there would have been no racers packs and goodies to hand out, no breakfasts to fuel the fires, no banners, no advertising, no prizes the list goes on. We are so thankful that the various companies had faith in us and wanted to help us make this possible. THANK YOU!

Secondly to the Racers - you guy's were OUTSTANDING!!!!!! The Cal Look Drag Day is held by Racers for Racers, we KNOW how much effort is involved in prepping and racing a car (its a huge push just to get a car to the track, something I think uinless you have to do it you don't realise) and we are really grateful that you chose to come out for us. Especially those who made the trek from Belgium! You all put on one amazing show, and your camaraderie and attitude in the pits epitomised everything we want to achieve - good times with likeminded people. Thank you so much for running the sponsors stickers - they help us and we help them and everyone benefits. THANK YOU!

Spectators and friends of the Cal Look Drag Day, thank you for coming out and supporting the guys on the track, Only at the Cal Look Drag Day will you get people paying to watch the racing yet still be more than happy to get their hands dirty and help out the guys in the pits. THANK YOU!

And to the staff and Marshals at Santa Pod who run the place and make it all tick - THANK YOU!

Cheers chaps, all those who put it together are completely stoked with the response.

 :)

What Matt said, despite sleeping in the car & waking up at 7 to see minus 5 on the thermometer , it was a great relaxed day with plenty of action :D

As has been said numerous times above, thanks for arranging a great weekend, well done ;D

Good to see you had a nice weekend. But it is still early in the year ...
