The pinnacle of drag racing, Top Fuel Dragsters are the quickest cars in drag racing! These cars run on nitromethane and can reach speeds in excess of 300mph accelerating from 0 - 100mph in under one second!
Modern Nitro Funny Cars have the same engines as Top Fuel Dragsters but have tilt-up carbon fibre bodies with the engine in front of the driver.
These cars run 0-250mph in under 6 seconds! Full-bodied cars with massive engines and monster attitude. Pro Mod is the Motorsport UK British Drag Racing Championship class. (Fri, Sat & Sun)
Nostalgia Funny Cars have classic body styles replicating the golden age of drag racing. Expect Long smoky burnouts followed by wild runs with times deep into the 6 second zone. (Fri, Sat & Sun)
Running on less expensive fuel but almost as fast as their nitro cousins and highly competitive. Dragsters and Funny Cars compete together.
Petrol-burning doorslammers with very tight sets of rules governing appearance and specifications. Cars closely resemble production models, but are capable of hitting 6-second passes on the track!
There will be an evening qualifying session on Friday for pro classes including Top Fuel Dragster and Funny Car who will be joined by Jet Cars, so get ready for a flame show.

The FireForce 5 Jet Dragster will be lighting up the quarter mile in just over 5 seconds. Powered by a Pratt & Whitney J60 engine, it develops thrust equivalent to more than 10,000hp. (Fri, Sat & Sun)
This mighty 10,000lbs, 1350hp monster truck driven by Garry Anderson, will be crushing everything in its path.
Joining Podzilla to wreak havoc in the arena is Swamp thing, the UK Monster Truck Nationals winning monster truck, driven by Tony Dixon.
Unlike other motorsport venues, the public are able to walk around the pits and watch the crews work on their cars and bikes.

Something that will make the life of any good “caravanner” or “motorhomer” that bit easier is electric hook-up for the duration of your stay. It’ll allow you to keep the beers and barbecue food chilled without the hassle of lugging around the old generator keeping it fuelled up for the weekend!
Book online or by phone only, the earlier you book, the better the price. The best trackside value money can buy!
