FIA European Drag Racing Championship - Santa Pod Raceway

After the Faroe Islands, we flew over to London to pick up a hired car for our 4 days of drag racing event at the Santa Pod Raceway.

This trip can't just be all about me right?! I was originally looking at the Isle of Man TT but timing didn't fit so the first event of the FIA Euro Drag Racing season would have to do...

Unfortunately the weather god didn't cooperate but I think Terry had a good time anyway...


Whilst rained out Friday, half Saturday and all day Monday, we had a fantastic qualifying Sunday. There were so many warm welcome and kind hospitality from all the FIA European dragracers, we felt more than at home.






All were not lost since the Raceway is located in Bedford where there are cute villages and excellent pubs (well, wouldn't be England without a good pub or two in every corner). We stayed at a B&B called Newton Park Farm in Newton Blossomville and also very close to a town called Olney.


On the rainy Monday, there was also a craft fair at nearby Castle Ashby Gardens. Believe me, I didn't line that up at all, just happened...



At The Old Mill pub in Newton Blossomville...



The next day when we were heading back to London to fly up to Edinburgh, the sun came out... Doh!



I just love English countryside!!!
