Little plug for this major event coming up over the Bank holiday weekend at the beginning of June. If you haven't seen drag racing 'in the flesh' before this is as good as it gets. All the major classes running as part of the FIA championships. One of only 2 chances each year to see a full field of Top Fuel etc.
Not the cheapest of days out (£35 each on the gate), but get there around 9-9.30 and have a whole days racing as well as free entry to the pits to see the cars and drivers up close.
