Drag racing
 

Im a die hard drag racing fan and go to a lot of meets, i often see many scoobs parked up, are there many fans of 'proper' drag racing on here?
If so are you going to the easter thunderball @ santapod? , looks like a good line up and a chance to see some Nitro funny car(s) :luxhello:

If not then why not? get your ass down their its a great day out http://www.santapod.co.uk/e_easter.php

Hi mate,i've been going to pod for 20 years now have been to all the main events over the years(cant beat the noise of a top fuel dragster)and will more than lightly be going to the easter bash

Always wanted to see the drag racers run, will bare that in mind;)

I think men that dress as women are fine as entertainment, but I certainly wouldn't like to see them at a strip thing.

Each to their own though. :)

Looks bloody funny if you ask me, all those stilettos and mini skirts :D

:lol:

A past master :lol1:

Should of maybe re worded that:lol:

Its the relay race and baton mix ups that would get on my tits. :mad:

I've been going to the easter thunderball ever since i could drive, definately going this year :thumb:

Glad to see im not the only one, hoping to take the new scoob up (if i can find one by then!).
Used to frequent the dragsterworld.com forums until they got shut down :o
One thing i have always wanted to see is the Street Eliminator cars when they go out on the 'cruise', i can imagine peoples faces as a dozen or so 1200+ HP road legal v8 hot rods cruise past :eek2:

Crazy,

You're not the only one. I love going to the drags, just have trouble getting time to go up there. Whats the camping situation at the pod these days..? Remember last time I went, the field was seriously muddy.

Nothing like the sound of a V8 on full nitro fuelled throttle. That cackle at idle is something to be in awe of. Love it so much I've got a 468ci '59 Chevy truck as my weekend toy hoping to run it at either Avon Park Hot Rod Drags or maybe a RWYB at the pod. Runs on normal petrol rather than nitro tho..lol!!!!

Never seen or heard anything else that would blur my vision whilst I stood on the spectator bank as it streaked off up the track.

Oh, and here's a little clip of the Winged Express for you.
Turn up the volume and scare everyone in yer house....

Enjoy.

Saw the CCSE cars coming back in to Avon Park off their "cruise" last year and what a sight. You're quite right it really is something to behold, so many 7-9 second cars driving on the road. Was quite impressed at the Gone Crazy Zephyr which blipped the throttle and instantly lit up the rear tyres in a haze of smoke.. and that was just a blip..!!

www.eurodragster.com is quite good for news etc....

Nige,
Again.

Sweet movie, i love altereds specially fuel altereds.
I remember going to goodwood a few years back on a works do, no-one had ever seen or heard these monsters and as they started one up everyone gathered round, as soon i heard the engine note switch and start to get nasty as the nitro was introduced i advised fingers in ears, needless to say they didnt listen and when the throttle blip came everyone jumped back and nearly crapped themselves....hehe

Talking of SE, didnt TOTB have some SE cars in once, when it was on a ****ty bumpy lane of a track.
ANY of those SE cars would take the Top speed and 1/4 mile trials with ease!

I will be at the easter cannon ball event, been going for nearly 30 years, love it, not into track and hill climbing, the quarter is the daddy, Been going all those years and finally had a go last year, brilliant, The top fuel dragsters are awesome and never get tired of watching them, It got very busy last year at the nhra meets, looks like its on its way up again

I think it was the Easter meeting last year I went too. It was my first time at the Pod and when the top fuel cars came out :eek: jesus christ!!!!!! they are certainly an eye opener.

Ended up going back another time or two last year when the top fuel cars were there, those things are just mental :D

If there is anyone who hasn't been.... then go!!! even if you think it might not be your thing, if you go when the top fuel cars are there you will not be disappointed....... well as long as it's not raining :D

I went to the FIA finals a few years ago and now im hooked!!!

Top fuel dragsters :eek:

AWESOME!!!

Flame and thunder last year rocked too! :D

Flame and thunder
 

I went to it, great day never rained till right near the end, saw zen, scooby clinic and ron kiddel do demo runs
