Default Jet Crash @ Santapod

According to reliable sources, one of the Jet cars crashed at Santapod today.

The driver was taken to hospital and is fine. But it badly burnt the track in places. It is not sure whether Santapod will be on tomorrow for anybody thinking of going....best check beforehand tomorrow morning

yeh we decided to risk it & go & have a look, what a waste of time, staff & organisation was terrible. Told us at the gate we should be able to race, yet when we got the sign-in office all 250 places had been filled ages ago (except for one of there regular drivers who they let sign-in)

Ahh thats a pain in the arse, specially when you've travelled a way.

What i do if i get up there later in the day say 11am, i get to the gate and ask them to radio up to the sign on point to check if its allready full.

If they say yes, then i just turn around and go back home.

i'm only in Cov so wasn't that far luckily. We asked at the gate & they said that sign-in had closed for a minute so they could see how it was looking with numbers & it would open again soon, when we got there the office staff told us people had been queing since 6am & they might re-open at 2pm depending how many went home early
