Santa Pod on a RWYB day. Turn up, pay your £20 and take your own vehicle up the 1/4 mile drag strip - all timed. Here are some pictures I took.
Is that Nitrous that I see, on a Supermoto?
It’s a car, but it’s a hell of a burnout!
Finally, the most awesome vehicluar sight I have ever witnessed. This thing had an afterburner running the entire length of the car. I was stood about 30m behind it and the heat output was amazing. When he powered it up, we were covered in smoke. He did the standing quarter in seven seconds at a top speed of… 226mph!
Blinding pictures, Silver! I’d love to have a go at a couple of runs sometime. I went to Santa Pod a couple of years ago and loved it. The Top Fuel dragsters are out of this world.
Haha! I wouldn’t worried, unless you think that you’ll have lost in some way when the 1300cc turbo 'Busa you’ve lined up against blasts into the distance! I took my ZX636 up there when I had it, and Rossi could have been riding my bike and not ‘won’ a single run. Very interesting to see the times though (and very annoying when you screw up the start! )
I found a video of the jet car (“Fireforce”). Now, watch the video and imagine being stood where I was (directly behind the car in the mini grandstand! )
