Santa Pod Raceway’s second annual Junior Drag Racing Fun Day will take place on Wednesday 20th August. Presented in association with Alamo Rent A Car, the Fun Day will raise funds for Wellingborough-based charity Niamh’s Next Step and is supported by the Northamptonshire Telegraph.
Admission to the Fun Day is totally free of charge– summer-holiday family entertainment is the prescription, with the accent firmly on youth.
On track - drag racing action will see Junior Drag Racers (ages ranging from 8 to 17) from across Europe compete informally in this Fun Day.
Go Motorsport, the Motor Sports Association’s entry-level initiative, will offer FREE Auto-Solo passenger rides in the Paddock Arena. In conjunction with local motor clubs, anyone over 4’6” will be able to participate in this passenger experience for free.
Top freestyle motorcycle Stunt Rider, Lee Bowers will be wowing the crowds with his jaw-dropping motorbike stunt display in the Paddock Arena.
This year’s Fun Day will also embrace other forms of junior motorsport. Static displays featuring JASCARS will keep the focus on the younger generation of motorsport. There’ll be Lightning McQueen Disney-style cars on show too, alongside Santa Pod’s own, very grown-up FireForce Jet Funny Car.
Mighty Monster Truck Podzilla will roar and leap into car-crushing action in the Monster Truck Arena while its fellow giant, Red Dragon, provides passenger rides in its own, inimitable style. Other family activities on the programme include dodgems, trampolines, face-painting, inflatable go – kart ring and a bouncy castle.
Last year’s inaugural Junior Drag Racing Fun Day attracted more than 2,000 visitors to the famous racing venue and organisers anticipate many more for this year’s second edition. The event will run from 10am to 4pm so book you’re your FREE admission tickets online at www.santapod.co.uk/e_junior_day.php
Voluntary donations to Niamh’s Next Step will be greatly appreciated. The charity was founded in memory of Niamh Curry, who passed away aged five in 2012, and is dedicated to fighting the childhood cancer, Neuroblastoma, and to supporting children and families afflicted with the disease.
