Our name comes from the legendary Santa Pod Raceway in the UK. Built on the site of an old American airbase, Santa Pod is the best-known drag racing track outside America.

Drag racing started in the United States in the early nineteen-forties when youngsters raced each other down the main "drag" of their Californian towns. The popularity of the sport soon made it too dangerous for the public streets and the authorities moved the races to dry lakebeds and disused airfields.

Drag racing usually takes place over a distance of a quarter mile. Both vehicles compete from a standing start and the contest is run in tournament style eliminations.
