You can watch it online live!! Search santapod live feed and you should find it through euro dragster site or the santapod site. Was watching it earlier and there was a couple of 6 second passes. So excited!!!

I was at the Main Event earlier this year.  That was cool.  I\'d love to see a Top Fueller running a 3 second ET.

They were having problems launching the cars all week with the top fuellers. Too much grip and not enough time to tweek the clutches. One fueller ran 300mph with a 4.00x time.

Totally amazing. Iv got loads of pictures so I will load them up once I get some time.

I saw the Festival of Power in March when there was snow on the ground, the fuel cars were doing all sorts of nasty things then.  The new track at the Pod seems to have tonnes of grip and it ought to be proper fast when they get a handle on it.
