Santa Pod Raceway is Europe’s first permanent drag racing venue for 1⁄4 mile (1,320 ft; 402 m) and 1⁄8 mile (660 ft; 201 m) racing. Located in Podington, Bedfordshire, England, the drag strip was built on a disused Second World War Royal Air Force (RAF) airbase, known as RAF Podington; once used by the USAAF‘s 92nd Bomb Group. The drag racing venue opened at Easter in 1966, and it is now the home of European drag racing and hosts both the first and last round of the FIA and FIM / UEM European Drag Racing Championship, along with the British National Drag Racing Championships. It has also been the venue for the annual Bug Jam weekend since 1987. (courtesy Wiki)
