Top Fuel Dragsters
This weekend it is exactly a year since Top Fuel cars last scorched the Santa Pod concrete. Pandemic quarantines permitting, we are delighted to welcome back two seasoned campaigners to hit the loud pedal. Susanne Callin supported by Draper Tools (UK), uniquely distinguished as the world’s first 300mph teenager, returned to action last year after a 14-year family-life break. Like Susanne, Antti Horto (Finland) began racing life in a Junior Dragster. He has two FIA Top Fuel wins to his credit and finished championship runner-up in 2018. (All Days)
Funny Car
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. There will be 3 cars on track! (All days)
Nostalgia Funny Car
Funny Cars with classic body styles replicating the golden age of drag racing. (All Days)
