Festival of Power 2021 - CANCELLED
Friday 2nd to Sunday 4th April 2021
Covid-19 Update - 26/03/21
Following the government’s road map announcement on Monday 22nd February, we can confirm that all scheduled events up until April 12th (Road Map Step 2) will unfortunately not take place including Festival of Power.
The good news, however, is that we are re-scheduling the “Festival of Power – Unlocked!” from its original Easter date to the 25th-27th June. We will welcome back the smell of Nitro at last with this full round of the National Championships featuring all your favourite topflight drag racing action including Top Fuel Dragster, Nitro Funny Car, Jet Cars and a round for the wild 200mph Pro Modified Doorslammers. Our first 2021 real drag racing extravaganza!
An action packed Easter weekend of family Drag Racing entertainment including Top Fuel Dragsters, Nitro Funny Cars, Jet Cars and National Drag Racing. Plus all things powerful off track including Monster Trucks, Stunt Displays and more.
Fireforce 3

The Jet Dragster otherwise known as Fireforce 5 will be lighting up the quarter mile. Fitted with the same engine as Fireforce 3 but the lighter weight means speeds in excess of 300mph. (Sat & Sun)
