First time firing up a Nitro Funny Car for driver Dale’s sister and team member Hayley! What an awesome moment for Hayley and all of us to be part of! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Not only does she get the best seat in the house during an engine fire up but in front of an awesome crowd at Silverstone CarFest 26 where us and various other racers/teams showed up with Santa Pod to showcase drag racing to the public!

What a moment to look back on for sure! 🔥🔥🔥

What an absolute blast it was to represent drag racing at Silverstone CarFest 26! Let’s look back at some of the best and coolest moments of our weekend at CarFest 26! 💥💥💥

It was absolutely incredible to be part of such a huge movement in showcasing drag racing to the public at one of Britains most iconic circuit race tracks!

Just so amazing to see and meet so many people who have never experienced being by drag cars, getting the full taste of throttle whacks!

Thank you to everyone who came out and most importantly the Santa Pod Raceway family!

Our weekend at Silverstone Race Track for CarFest 26 has come to an end! But the memories will certainly live on forever.

It was absolutely incredible to see so many people who had and hadn’t heard of drag racing with the majority of people there, not knowing what drag racing really is!

With Collin Theobald giving his words and hosting crowds over the microphone throughout the weekend, one by one, us and the other racers/teams from Santa Pod all did what we do best and did multiple engine fire ups, throttle whacks and gave plenty of insight to folks about drag racing throughout the weekend.

The feedback and response was exactly what we were hoping for; we’re ever so proud to be part of the drag racing community with our fellow racers. It was ever so awesome to hear so many people saying they’ll be at the FIA Euro Finals once we mentioned that our final race of the year was approaching in 12 days, which is more than we could have hoped for!

Big thanks to everyone who showed up, all the track staff and of course everyone from Santa Pod Raceway who all made this entirely possible working together.

See you all in a few days back at the track! In the meanwhile, have a browse through some of our favourite photos from the weekend! 💥💥💥

Day 2 here at Silverstone Racetrack at CarFest 26!

We’ve had so much fun despite the sporadic rain! It’s been amazing to see the reactions of people who have never seen or even heard of drag racing before!

Despite the rain today, we plan to do an engine fire up for everyone so please come by our pits to witness our 12,000bhp beast! 🤘🏼

It’s day 1 and we’re here at Silverstone all set up and ready for a totally awesome and memorable weekend at CarFest 26!

We’ll be doing 2 engine fire ups a day for the next 3 days demonstrating the sheer power and sound of our Hemi500 V8!

Don’t miss this! Make sure you come and see us.

Today we’re actually doing something very different to usual! We’re actually setting up at Silverstone race track for the yearly event known as ‘CarFest’ where us and many other drag racing teams that race at Santa Pod Raceway come together to showcase their cars! Of course we won’t be racing as Silverstone isn’t a 1000ft of straight track but us and many others will be on static display and also doing engine fire ups for the people visiting Silverstone over the weekend!

The idea for us is to show people what drag cars are all about, let’s see if this can sway more people towards the coolest of motorsports!

More updates to come!

Yesterday was clutch pack building day for Hayley at the workshop!

Our clutch packs are made from a library of ground thicknesses of steel floaters and clutch discs. Precision in clutch packs is a must for consistency at the race track!

We’re extremely excited to be back on the track soon!

Watch this space over the next couple of days as we’ll be dropping some more announcements and content 👀
