Where to go - Whitsun bank holiday
Can't decide where to spectate this forthcoming holiday? Fancy something different?
With no BTCC, F3/GT or HSCC meetings over the holiday why not take a look at the 6000bhp dragsters in 300mph earth-shaking-ear-splitting action? Santa Pod near Rushden in Bedfordshire is the place to be for the first round of the FIA European Championships, 'The Main Event'. 11 nitro cars entered (8 top fuel) plus the supporting classes including the jet car. Here is the entry at present: http://eurodragster.com/santapod/ent...amainevent.htm Pod site is www.santapod.com |

How much are Sant Pod paying you Andrew?
Must confess that true drag racing is one of the few branches of motorsport I have not been to see. Trust we can count on you to post us some decent pics. of this event? |

Not paying me anything!
I do not (yet) even do paintings for drag racers - just love it as a fan. You have to see and feel a top fuel nitro dragster to believe it, although I confess some of the lower class machinery is like watching paint dry! Apart from F1, the only form of motorsport left with real noise that hurts! |

Yes paul, agree, but only on the rare occasions F5000s are allowed to run unsilenced!
