To say iam disgusted is an understatement, Brian burrows had me thrown out of vw action this weekend because one of his power happy marshals reported back to him that i tried to run him over, i have also been informed today that him and his team are saying i tried to sneak people in ???.
Arriving at pod we where greeted by the usual burrows marshals, now its no secret that there is no love lost between me and these wannabees iam driving my LT race tow vehicle and my drag car is on the back all sign written with L.A.P logo,s (no mistake who iam) behind me is my friend in his car also L.A.P logo,ed up, we have our 2 free tickets to hand (supplied by Brian burrows to me ) we show our tickets to Rich grant and danny allan they rip the corners off, i tell them we are coming out again to fetch 2 more race cars my green 1303 and my new 1303 yellow and black racer replica they say no problem. so off we go in the LT and the 2 chop tops, we then have to stop at the info desk where we get 2 yellow racer forms to fill in, we have these and set off for the pits to set the LT up, next up more burrows marshals this time its a chap called nigel who we show our tickets to, we also tell him we are coming out to fetch more cars.
We move on round to the pits and set up, once set up and about 15 mins later my other friend arrives who has his own ticket( by the way all 3 of us have kept our tickets for proof) he has come to pick 2 of us up to take back to the shop to get the other 2 race cars so off we go back to the shop pick up the 2 race cars and drive up the road and in again, first lot of marshals (rich grant danny allen etc) wave us through, so its off up the road to the next marshal (nigel) now this is where it all goes pete tong.
Driving towards Nigel,s check point charly we have a que waiting to turn left in the field, he is bending down telling someone where to go they are in a right hand drive bus , so 2 of us are in 180bhp plus race cars heating up in the que, we have been in before and showed our tickets informed them we would be back in and out with others, This nigel nows who we are , hell 2 years ago i had a phone call from burrows asking me if i would recover nigel from near the pod as he had broken down i went out and towed him in (he didnt offer me any thing for my trouble by the way not that i would have took anything but thats not the point) so me being me thinks well iam not queing behind a load of vehicles that are clearly being directed to turn left, we are going straight on any way, it is a clear path so i pull out of the que and drive by nigel who is still leaning into the bus window on my left NOW IAM IN A LEFT HAND DRIVE CAR he is on the left so i clearly no where he is and drive through, he turns round and stops my mate who is in the yellow and black racer and tells him he will have to stop and get the tickets , christ we have the bloody tickets we showed you them and told you we are in and out, o no iam a marshal what i say goes .
Any way iam through heading round to the pits my mate follows and so does my other mate. we meet up at our plot and my mate tells me he has had greif, so we set up the other 2 race cars and head out of pod to go home freshen up get some beers . we stop again at Nigels check point charly and i ask why he wants to check us when he nows we have the correct tickets and race car forms, he then goes into one about me trying to run him down i tell him that is he serious ???? and rather than get into a full blown row i tell my mate to drive on, so we head out of pod to go home.
At this point he has radioed through to Burrows and told him i tried to run him down , burrows has then told the other wannabees(i assume all this).
so we go do our poop and head back to pod, we arrive at Rich grant and danny allens checkpoint now Mr grant is on one shouting at me that i tried to run Nigel over, iam gob smacked really i then tell him " you what" "what the flip you on about" this is where he gets all bent out of shape and tells me to calm down and cut the attitude, scared people always try to ring it back that you are being aggressive, he then tells me we are out go pack your stuff vw action are throwing you out.
Off we drive again round to the pits, thinking what the flip is going on, 3 of us crack some beers to chill out, about 40 mins later RICH GRANT and 2 santa pod security guards arrive at our pit, this is where RICH GRANT becomes a real man standing behind the santa pod security giving it the large and demanding that we leave , to be honest i stood my ground and told them we are not leaving get burrows round i want to talk to him No chance of that though a brian your two busy hiding somewhere , at this point the santa pod security ask rich grant to get the other marshal round (nigel) but foster grant aint having any of that all he wants is to bin us out out of pod so i still say flip off we aint leaving we have not done anything, at this point foster grant is shaking with fear and getting really mad, he then tells me if i dont leave he will call the police and have us ejected on public show and leaves it to santa pod security to escort us off santa pod so they do and follow us all the way out and back to my shop (50 yrds from the gates of pod then back in again to fetch the other 2 cars .
Upon leaving us the santa pod security staff informed us that they now who we are anyway and that no way does this reflect any other santa pod events and that we are more than welcome to come back.
Iam not interested in any comments ive not written this for a pat on the back, this is not the only forum iam posting it on its going worldwide , iam truly disgusted with the behavior of VW ACTION and its staff iam off to my breif to morrow to see where i stand with regards to the allegations of trying to run some one over .
All the best Lee Arnold.

This is Martin pomeroy’s only post. He joined just to make this post. Just sayin’. Probably another side to the story.

Oops, missed that first post date. Guess Martin doesn’t care anymore. I’m gettin’ old.
