California Look Drag Day 2015

[jamiep_jamiep]

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:

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