Flame & Thunder
Saturday 26th October 2024
Stunts & Drag Racing Family Firework Spectacular
Flame & Thunder is an action packed day for all the family featuring Drag Racing and Stunts galore. Witness a huge gathering of Jet Vehicles along with cars and bikes from various classes of Drag Racing on track. There is plenty more action off track including, Monster Trucks, Live Stage, Fun Fair and much more. The climax of the day will be a spectacular Firework Display.
There will be Drag displays running throughout the day featuring cars and bikes from a variety of national Drag Racing classes.
The brand new ‘Spiderman’ Jet Dragster is a nod to driver Julian’s dad and crew member, Roy Webb who ran a Competition Altered in the 1980s under the same name.
Roger Goring's state of the art Ford Mustang bodied Jet car is one of only 3 centre drive Jet Funny Cars in the world and the only one outside of the USA.
'Force of Nature' is a steam powered 'Rocket' motorcycle built for drag racing, record breaking, exhibitions and events.
It uses the latent energy of super-heated pressurised water released through De laval nozzles, where it turns to steam and creates the thrust to propel the bike forwards.
‘Reign of Fire’ piloted by Lee Dennick, is a GBC Mini Pro Funny Car and is powered by a Rolls Royce Gnome jet engine.
This mighty 10,000lbs, 1350hp monster truck driven by Garry Anderson and supported by Lucas Oil, will be crushing everything in its path.
Multiple world record holder and professional stunt driver Terry Grant will be putting on an action packed, precision driving stunt show.
Top freestyle motorcycle stunt rider Lee Bowers will be wowing the crowds with his jaw-dropping motorbike stunts.
As always the climax to Flame & Thunder will be a spectacular firework displays that will begin as the Fireforce Jet Car crosses the finish line.
