We've travelled down to Santa Pod twice now from Scotland to see the FIA Top Fuel Drag Cars and have never been disappointed. Both trips have been when large events are taking place so lots to do and see, food stalls are great, monster truck rides, helicopter rides and all the quarter mile action you can handle!

Hi, I have just been to the FIA "Main Event" for one day (Saturday). It cost me £35 to get in. This allowed access all areas including the pit area. It didn't include the Grandstand and there was an extra charge for this. The noise and speed is in a word, awesome. I stood on the grass bank next to... More

This was a first for me and I went with some friends who had never been to drag racing before. It is a spectacle to behold and the fearless individuals who sit in these machines remind me of those "magnificent men and their flying machines" - You have to be slightly mad to pilot a vehicle to speeds close to...

Top fuel dragster action packed weekend.If you have never been to a meeting of this kind then this is the one to go to! First round of the European finals with cars running 8000 hp and 0 to 100 mph in less than 1 second. Whilst this is happening there are all sorts of other attractions going on such as... More

What a cracking day out, certainly helped by the weather but the whole family enjoyed the day immensely. The youngest stayed at home with grandma but my 5 and 3 yr old loved it. It is extremely important you take your ear defenders especially for the kids as the racing is off the scale noisy. Being the main event, the... More

Lots a stands selling clothing and nick nacks to temp you to spend your cash you can walk freely around the "garages" to see the... More

We went to a fireworks day and night event. Value was fantastic. We prebooked via the website and the event was charged by the carful rather than the number of people. The site is large and sprawling, but quite clear as long as you make a mental note of where you left your car. Catering was pretty dire and consisted... More

If you are into fast and furious motoring then this is the place to be. The premier drag strip in the country, holding a good selection of events throughout the year, fireworks in November is always spectacular. On race days you are close to the action, noise and smell, a good day out.
