Well, I promised to dig out my memorabilia..

Programmes - I guess Santa Pod 1970 must have been my first visit..

Image

NDRC Car Passes: these were sent out by mail to all NDRC Marshalls - I wasn't able to attend all of the events, but I marshalled at the ones I could travel to..

Remenber the NDRC window stickers? Here's mine - never moistened - never stuck to a window!

Muddytalker: I have one South Marston Car Pass, One Window Sticker and one Castrol NDRC Programme, 9 Sep 1973. Yours if you want them my friend...

Does anyone remember the transparent window stickers that you were given as you went through the gates at the 'Pod? They had details of the meeting and date as a sort of commerative thingy. We had lines of them on our car windows, one for each meeting

Yes I remember them and saw some last year at Shakespeare on Phil Evans Super Vogue which was at the August meet and on the old Heavy Breathin' A40 which was at the Hot Rod Drags...... Here's a few unused window stickers from my collection....... Image Image Image Image

Here's two from my collection. The Santa Pod Enthusiasts Club sticker is more of an outside decal and could be found on the front panels of the Santa Pod wheelie Stingray.

I have one other but thats hard to scan as the main photo [colour] of Peter Crane's 'Stormbringer' has been reproduced on the sticky side with information on the reverse side promoting Santa Pod. The only way we can view it is to stick it to a piece of glass but I don't want to do that as it will destroy this piece of seventies nostalgia.

I have a couple of those Jerry, somebody has been selling them on ebay on and off for a few years now, they must have had a box full at sometime.

How about this for something a bit different, a timing slip from Ian Messengers ‘Pegasus’ in 1976. I haven't got this it is just a scan that a friend sent me.

Yes Jon, the first night meet did take place as the report from the pages of ‘Drag Racing & Hot Rod’ magazine explains. Another night event had been planned a week later at the Festival of Speed, again with the American Commando Team, but this eventually fell victim to weather.
