Gymkhana Grid - Santa Pod

[tbtstt]

Bit late, but a handful of snaps from Gymkhana Grid, as held at Santa Pod a couple of weekends ago.

Not as many pictures as I was hoping for, as the whole Gymkhana area was surrounded by mesh fencing (kudos to whoever put the fence up: you didn’t leave a gap anywhere!), but here are the few snaps that came out.

Hope you enjoy!





Vaughn Gittin Jnr. killing some rubber. I cannot emphasize how savage this car sounded:







Truck-khana!





Block on the line for the AWD final, launch control activated: gotta love the side exhaust…





Didn’t catch the drivers name, but he was doing a bloody good job of giving this Scoob a serious thrashing…



…sadly his day came to an end with a fire. (Brief fire under the engine: oil line from the turbo?)





Blimey. Must be a really interesting car to capture the attention of so many photographers…



…ah yes, so it is.







Again I didn’t catch the drivers name, but he did a couple of excellent burnouts…



…sadly his memory skills weren’t as good, as everytime I saw him run he got lost and forgot the course!

It wasn't too bad on the Sunday. I didn't make it up to Santa Pod on the Saturday and I was kicking myself for not getting going earlier... until I was told there had been horizontal sleet on the Saturday afternoon!

Was going to get some video, but I don't think it would have accurately captured how loud that Mustang was. Definately the loudest V8 powered drift car I've heard!
