it was'nt any perticular event jon, i used to go to a few, probley not everyones cup of tea watching real drag cars, i think most people are into drifting .i'am going to be at a few events this year, there are a couple of jap events i think, jae is ok, but you can camp the weekend at santa pod and watch drag racing and still have a piss up, once you have walked around the show ground you have seen all the stalls full of shite air filters, bought ice creams for about £2 and shit lollies for a quid,if the weather is good you can sit on the bank watching racing and gettin pissed at the pod, at the show ground, you walk around all day getting chaffed bolloxs lol.

I'm much more into seeing cars performing at santa pod. I normally go to Big Bang and the Main Event. Not been to a jap show there for a good number of years but I found it pretty boring in comparison to the proper stuff at the Main Event.

The Pod however have re tarmaced an area in the pit for people who want to watch cars drift around traffic cones coz they have noticed how much more money this will bring in. Not my cup of tea, watching drifting is boring once you've seen it a few times. Unless someone has a smack of course.

Been trying to get some people interested in going to Japshow at santa pod in june for a while, Could be a good weekender (and its 5 minutes from my workshop) There's regular drifting at pod these days too, and they're so used to big car shows there it's really well organised nearly every time. Will 100% be at japshow in some form anyway whether others camp or not

Im also not into watching drifting events really. Once you have seen one you have seen them all. But i would really enjoy sitting in the sun with a pint of stella watching a few hot rods compete against the clock.I wanted to go to Japshow last year but i was working so i couldnt do it. I would be interested in going to it this year If there is not another work event on.

I see motorsport 24/7 all around the world now so i enjoy Jae for being a time to meet up with Friends for a social. Shame the weather has been such a let down the last few years and I dont like Peterborough showground at all though.

Nothing like standing on the line when a top fueler drops the clutch, I sware you loose your vision for a split second.

I'm well up for going to the Pod, be nice to see how/if it's changed much sinse I last went.

i'd def be up for going to santa pod, never seen top fuelers, so would be good.

i wasnt overly impressed with the 'attractions' at JAE, but i did get a little drunk and it was a good social, so would be up for it again if only for that
