Description
We started our first season in 2025, holding three racing events at Manston Raceway Park, an old RAF airfield in Kent, UK. The atmosphere at the events was one of relaxed, vintage drag racing, just as it would have been in the 1940s and 1950s in California.
Competitors called out other participants for grudge races throughout the weekend, with upwards of 20 races per day. This ultimately climaxed in knockout rounds, with the finalists meeting in the 4 Bangers, V8 Flathead, and Overhead Valve finals. Winners in these classes took home the bragging rights and prize money for the weekend’s event.
For Easter weekend 2026, we will be building on our success.
