The Santa Pod Fast Show. Start 2010 As You Mean To Go On!

The winter is still well and truly here, with rain, long dark nights and a complete lack of car shows and racing. But stay optimistic, because Santa Pod Raceway’s season-opener is actually not that far away! The Fast Show takes place on Sunday 21st March 2010, and the new website has just gone live.

With the all-new website now up and running, these boring winter months are an ideal time to get online and to plan for the 2010 season. The Fast Show is an ideal place to make your first club meet of the season, and you can turn up in pretty much any kind of car and still feel welcome. From hot hatches and retros to full-blown supercars, everyone is represented at The Fast Show, making it easily the most diverse of all Santa Pod events… probably because everyone is desperate to get out and play with their cars after a long winter!

With Run What Ya Brung, dyno and a handling track, you’ll have a chance to press the pedal to the metal and stock up on pub ammo to fire at your mates, along with all sorts of activities off track, including the hilarious Miss Fast Show, popular Show & Shine competition, traders, monster truck show and stunt shows.

Weekend ticket holders can enjoy an extra day of Run What Ya Brung, and all weekend tickets include free camping and entry to the new and improved Pod Palais – a heated nightclub with top DJs, plush furnishings and even exotic dancers on Saturday night.

Tickets start from just £15 for a Sunday ticket, and £25 for a weekend ticket.

RCM Parallel Fuel Rail Kit. Fuel’s Gold!

Current TOTB and Time Attack Champions Roger Clark Motorsport have released yet another one of their own superb trophy winning tricks into the market place; their parallel fuel rail kit.

On the standard Subaru engine, fuel is delivered is a ‘series’ style circuit, feeding first one bank of cylinders before stretching around the block to deliver to the remaining two. In high performance applications, this somewhat simplistic design can see unequal pressures and delivery on either side of the engine, resulting in dire consequences for the ‘last’ cylinder in the sequence.

RCM Parallel Fuel Rail

The RCM solution is a direct adaptation of the units designed and tested by the team on the hugely successful ‘Gobstopper’ race car. The fuel arrives from a central line, before being precisely split into two parallel feeds which then service each cylinder bank. The result is perfectly equal pressures feeding each injector.

The kit consists of  two beautifully extruded rails, four dash 6 stainless steel ends, complete with ‘o’ ring, fitting brackets. In testing, the kit has been happy to keep up with the prodigious thirst of RCM’s own 890 bhp test cars, so whatever flat-four trickery you’re planning under the bonnet, it’s safe to say that this kit can cope.

Priced at £425 + VAT you’d be fuellish not to.. Fits all 2001 on engines, both 2.0 and 2.5 litre.
