        You know, the Cordova drag strip isn't that far from here. I need to start going there.

          Do a Google search and you should be able to find their schedule.

            Cordova is a good old track. Raced bikes there over the years. Rick and Rickie Jones got there start there. Now they are world champs.

              I am keen enthusiast and follower at Santa Pod Drag Racing in UK. Had the opportunity to be a photographer for a friend of mine riding a Top Fuel bike. Awesome sport. Will never forget my first dual Top Fuel dragster pass! Anyone feeling catching up for a beer, just PM me. Cheers

                  Indeed although I must admit, Super-Twin is the best sound ever. No other bikes can compare in terms of sound, just superb. Only once I've left my ear defenders out of ears, silly me could have caused serious damage standing with wide-angle lens on a start line when they were doing burnouts. Nice shots, but my ear drums were coming out. stupid me really, it was painfull.

                      I've never been to a drag racing event, as everyone knows, F1 is my passion, but Santa Pod is only about 100 miles from me, maybe I can pay a visit there sometime next year and have that beer with you

                        Hi Debs,
                        That would be awesome. You'd love it. Especially morning walks in the pits (FREE btw) checking the teams as they start up engines, the smell of nitrous oxide biting your eyes
                        I do only FIA Main Event (end of May, Start of season) and FIA Finals (September - end of season)
                        I go usually the whole 4 days. Check the offer below good saving if you thinking about taking a peek at some mean machines! You don't get 7000 - 8000 bhp out of F1

                        Early Bird Ticket Discounts of 20% are available on 2015 events until 31st January 2015 on admission tickets for Santa Pod organised events, excluding third party events, Stunt Fest, RWYBs, DWYBs and grandstand seats.

                            Well at Santa Pod there is optional hospitality seating and you are staring at the flaming shotguns barrels, however it is not as posh as F1. Plus they put a plexi glass in front of you for elf&safety in case a piston take a hike from the block. I personally don't like it, prefer the crowded bank with coolbox stuffed with cold beer
