Is there anywhere this side of the Irish sea where you can go like Santa Pod raceway?

Gap in the market there. Pity I don't own a wide open expanse of land - could make a fortune by making a drag strip.

rs cab

Mondello did it a few yrs back, think it was part of Japfest. Not sure if its been done since. Was great to watch.

Enniskillen is on the airstrip there .No good for proper drag as wrong type of tarmac surface .cant get decent traction off the line on it and not allowed to warm tyres up before a run either
But its better than nothing

i asked a serious petrol head recently.. who was trying to get funding to do it, was gonna take millions apparently, needs a certain grade of tar and the regulations are tight so that times clocked stand internationally.
any thrifty spend petrol head millionaires on here? seems like the only way it would be done!
