The Cal-look Lounge

Hey folks, we're busy making preparations for this years Cal Look Drag Day, and thought we would just give a bit of an update as to what's going on and where we're at...
We're having a change of venue this year, back to Santa Pod Raceway, and the dates to pen in your diaries are May 16th and 17th. Ticket booking will be via. Santa Pod, but details for this are not yet finalised, so watch this space.
It is once again being held on a Peak Performance weekend, which is a little more expensive to run on, but has the benefit of being on a fully prepped track (not RWYB standards), so if you are looking for a personal best or settle a score then this is the weekend to do it.

Some amazing cars have signed up to be along, and we hope to be welcoming along some amazing street cars and race cars. John Rathbone will be bringing his amazing race bug back out for the first time in many many years, and Richie Webb hopes to bring two of his cars along, his project ten NOS car, along with his unbelievable cabrio chassis car. With race cars from the Outlaw Flat Fours, the VWDRC and from our friends in Europe, and street cars the UK has to offer, along with support from the various top cal look and Hot VW clubs around (well... I am gonna plug the Rennwagens now aren't I?!!!), if you want to see a spectacle of flat hour horsepower this is it.

If you want to see what the Cal Look Drag Day is all about, take a look at Julian Hunt's gallery here:

I might try and make it with my son, no car as studying is getting in the way of garage time.

That alone will be worth going for :o 8) 8) :D

Looking good here to be able to bring the street car and the cabrio, who knows what else as well :-X

cheers Richie

If thats the case , I'll do my best to be there . My Wife will be 8.5 months pregnant , but I'm sure she'll let me borrow her looker !

Otherwise I'll just drive up and spectate for the day

I am ready. Just have to load it on the trailer. ;D

Now that's just showing off :o ;D   but we got weeks yet, enough time to build a complete car :)

I'm hoping to be there work depending. Will be a pile of firsts for me, so I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, but you didn't read the small print, like buy a new generator, get the van ready, fit the quad tow bar etc ;)

The Plymouth has no engine in at the minute , all my cars and the only complete ones are my wife's . Plus I got shit from DannyBoy for turning up to a Cal Look show in a non VW before !

Anyway lets see a pic of Ned Bug in your garage instead of mine !

Rob

I'll try and make it......not been out for a while.

We are waiting for the Bitburg dates - we think about comming with 2 or 3 cars

Udo

I'm ready and waiting!! :-)

I'll be there, but, I won't have the car ready by then.  Looking forward to actually watching for a change.

Hopefully I will be out to play if every think goes to plan , but I might only be racing on the Saturday

I'll be there, just got a few bits to sort and find a rolling road..........

AT this rate I will have to go in case I miss out.....

Russell EX Gasser Garage.  ;D

We have just had ticket booking information confirmed for the Cal Look Drag Day,and we have managed to secure a great deal for a full weekends racing for folks on the best track in Europe. To take advantage of the deal racers will need to book their tickets via the online ticketshop www.eticketing.co.uk/santapodraceway
Once on the site, there are several ticket options.
We have negotiated a 20% discount on the two ticket options below
· RWYB Voucher and Wknd Admission RRP £45 Discount price £36
· Peak Performance Voucher RRP £50 Discount price £40
When you click ‘buy tickets’ they will need to select a quantity and then enter discount code DRAGCAL in the prompt box (booking fees and postage fees will still apply)
If you require just RWYB or Peak Perf spectator tickets, the discount will not apply.
We have also managed to arrange limited Friday night entry for racers - again if you wish to take advantage of this, you will need to order your tickets in advance as above, and contact us to confirm your entry requirements. Get booking, see you there!

Is entry per person or car?  can I drive/race 2 cars on my entry? specifically for the sunday?  and are we ok to get in Saturday if we are just running on sunday?

cheers Richie

Lee and myself will be there from kraftwerk with Rathbones car shaking down hoping he doesn't grenade lees motor :-D

Richie, entry is per person - if you take ten cars to race you will still only pay once.

I will be there with my bug

Looking forward tio some more of this:

What sitting around for hours due to the 1/4 mile oil slick? ;)

Booked and paid for, guess that means were going ;D

Hopefully everyone will be running a diaper or tray an there will be no oil downs, that sure did suck ::)

I'm not that optimistic lol ;)

Thanks for having faith and support for Cal Look Drag Day.
This also obviously goes out to all that have already booked or committed to coming.
This thread shows that there are plenty of people still in to the cal look scene.
Both me and Jamie Palmer will continue to do our up most to provide a great weekend for you Cal Look guys and girls to enjoy.
We obviously cant avoid an oil down from another race series, but now a large contingent of the Vw racers are running oil containment systems so this should help the racing flowing all weekend.
So get your 20% discounted tickets booked everyone and look forward to a free breakfast on sunday morning whist wearing your free Cal Look Drag Day t-shirt.
Oh and if your really lucky, or maybe unlucky you may also grab yourself a prize or a trophy.

Instead of just completely filling 1 lane full of looker lets fill both this year.
Thanks again to everyone for your support it makes all our efforts worth while.

As much as I like Shakey, the Pod crew are quicker cleaning up any mess, so it should be okay, fingers crossed and keep the oil in your sump  :P

we've covered this for the last 2 years at shakey and can't wait to join you at the Pod! 

www.airmonkeys.co.uk

We'll definitely be there with one or the other of our cars. The Hangarz meet in Belgium is not long afterwards which I'd like to drive our '67 to, so I've got some thinking to do - the possibility of a grenaded engine the week before a foreign trip is not great! I'm not sure if the Mexican will be in running order by then but if it is we may well bring it for a shake down.

I have never been before I am ashamed to say, but really looking forward to attending!

Still got the dash plaque from the first one at the pod, f#*k that was a big plaque !!!

Looking forward to this now the weathers picking up

Free bump

got the vert out today filled her up and ragged it down the bypass .its ready  :D
