Dragstalgia Santa Pod 2024 Part 1

A look around the vintage dragster displays as the rain comes down then around the pits as the strip drys followed by some RWYB action and pit fire-ups from Houndog and Mooneyes on Friday morning July 5th 2024...

Oh, man! What memories. I was there for the 1964 Drag Fest and remember so many of those machines. Dos Palmas, Super Nero, Mooneyes to name but some. You've made an old man very happy indeed. 😄😄😄

Brill Nick. I couldnt make it. Your vids always capture the atmosphere of the events. No music no bullshit. Just action. Thought a man of your pedigree and status would have start line access. Keep em coming Nick. Don't change your format. 🏁👍

Nick you have made a fantastic record here! You were by my father and brother when they meet Shige at Moon, I was in next tent and missed it, thank you for doing that. Gavin Allard

Yes that was a great moment which I had to record... earlier your father told me that he reckoned his previous experience driving rally cars helped him to keep the dragster under control as it swerved side to side at 145mph in the rain at Blackbushe '65... 😮

My son bought a vw beetle , the black widow that ran at Santa pod, it’s set up for the strip but still street legal, the person we bought it from started to butcher it and turn it into a baja bug, I have restored it back how it was and put a fibreglass race front end on it, I have nearly finished building a new 2.4cc race engine with a turbo, hopefully my son can come there and race it to see what times he can do.
