Santa Pod Raceway

0

 

The largest Drag Racing event of the year is the Euro Nationals. The weekend was alive with teams from all over Europe, including Germany, Denmark and Sweden. All types of cars to watch from American muscle cars that do breathtaking burnouts, wheelies off the start line or thundering Top Fuel cars burning Nitromethane at speeds over 300mph in the time it takes to sip a cup of tea (four seconds).

The facilities at Santa Pod are very well kept and professional. Arriving to the grounds was misleading though, as one minute you are in a sleepy village on a C-road, then there is a sign telling you to turn and then it hits you – a professional series racecourse with £millions-worth of thundering hardware! The event was well thought out with an abundance of vendors serving food and drinks and loads of activities to do, whether you fancy a ride in a 12 ft tall real life monster truck or care for something a little less crazy like bumper cars or a ferris wheel.

The grounds were set up perfectly with beer tents spaced just far enough apart so you wouldn’t get parched to lots of rubbish bins about (a very rare thing at events I have noticed) and plenty of parking, miles of parking, a must-have at any venue. This place ticks the box on must-haves at an event you could spent 12+ hours at, including friendly staff and abundant WC facilities. There were carnival rides for everyone, and even a ‘kids craft’ section indoors so that it was shielded by all of the noise of the cars for those little ears. Santa Pod Raceway holds regular events that can be found on their website, nearly every weekend, including dates that allow you to run your own car down the track, a welcome invitation to any petrolhead, young or old!
