I can vouch for Santa Pod - tis a great day out! I'm up there next
weekend with the Vauxhall bunch (PV2004).
The only thing I'll say is that on a day like USC you'll be lucky to
get 2 runs. And of course, you'll have to make sure your car is up
to the job! Many a car I've seen coast past the line... hehe.
Let me know what the date turns out to be - I might come along.
