[BuckMR2]

A handful of us Jaguar owners from http://www.jaguarforum.co.uk are taking our cars to Santa Pod on Sept 17th and would like to invite any JEC members to come along.We were there in June and had a fantastic day.
Get your tickets (limited number) from http://www.rwyb.co.uk/ and bring your car along.
Its a professionally organised event for amateurs,novices,pros,etc and you can take your car as many times as you like down the 1/4 mile dragstrip.
Hope to see you there!

Here are a few pics and results from our last trip there in June
Not all of the cars in Tescos car park were Jags when we met up...........

Fortunately some were....





At the drag strip there were some interesting cars like this 800Hp Mustang with parachute...

It got away just before I could get the pic and the smoke had cleared.......

And a few pics of us waiting for a run...........











The fastest Jag of the day an X308 XJR...

Back at the pub car park a few of the cars I_MNL drove before we all headed home........
