How accurate is Santa Pod??
After seeing various posts about 'proper' proof that a car does this speed, this 0-60 etc etc i just thought id ask how accurate santa pod times are, as i got a 14.36 quarter mile, but looking through a few old mags, it seems quite quick for a 200bhp escort turbo??
Just dont want to look a twat (even more than i am lol) when telling people and then them turning round and saying 'no wonder you got that time at santa pod'

good time there mate you must have put the power down well
santa pod is used for big drag racing events and defo the most accurate 1/4 track in the uk.
what were your 60ft times like and your terminal speeds?

sounds about right for the 60ft, so sounds like you were staged ok (bit of a low terminal tho for 200bhp )
i saw a standard VTR saxo run a suposed 13sec QTR... with a <0.5sec 60ft time...
he didnt seem to "get it" when i told him the time was wrong... lol

Well i cant say what a ERST should get but i know that a standard rover tomcat, that has 197bhp standard gets 14.9 @ 94mph.
My car has 243bhp and from a 2.6 60ft time i managed a 14.508 @ 99.98mph. This was on a very very hot day.
Depending on your gear changes etc anything from 14.1 to 14.8 sounds right for a 200bhp RST.

I reckon its about as accurate as they come
Other wise- it wouldn;t be europes premier drag strip and Britains best.
BIG drag teams and F1 teams wouldn't run there cars there- you would want the best of the best too if you had millions of pounds of budget
