MSA British Drag Racing: Santa Pod preview

Round 4: Santa Pod Raceway, 30-31 July

The American car festival known as the Mopar Euro Nationals hosts round four of the championship at Santa Pod this weekend.

Andy Robinson has enjoyed impressive form this season, with several low-six-second clockings at over 230mph, and will seek to increase the points lead he established with victory last time out.

Dutch newcomer Michel Tooren looks set to challenge Robinson again after losing to the Hampshire racer in the final at June’s Summer Nationals. On that occasion, the pair shared the performance honours: Robinson’s 6.092sec was the event’s quickest pass and Tooren’s 234.05mph its fastest.

Sandwiched between them in the points are Philip Englefield and reigning champion Kev Slyfield, desperate to cure the tyre shake that has hampered his title defence thus far. Young Bobby Wallace makes his first appearance of the season.

Tickets cost £25 per day, available online or at the gate. For further information see: www.santapod.co.uk/e_mopar.php
