Went up this weekend just gone, to the 'Main Event' FIA drag race meeting up at the Pod. Had a good time - despite getting sunburnt as usual Haven't been up to see 'proper' drag racing for a couple of years so the impact of seeing sub 5sec/300mph passes by Top Fuel dragsters was fresh and new again - though I don't think anyone could ever get tired of such a spectacle Some rather nice pictures taken by a guy on VZi - as mine are a bit 'pap' - tis tricky taking pictures of objects travelling at 200mph+ .........
