My first video to hit 5 million views! Just WOW!! Thank you all for watching. If you could drop a like and subscribe to the channel that'll be really appreciated. Thanks! Kieran.

6:20 Zero firefighting training

WTH is going on at the end of the track? Looks like a god damn ice skating rink down there!

9:40 the irony of that difflow sticker.

At 6:18 I think they just asked a random dude: "Hey do you know how to spray water"

Drag racing in the rain is the smartest way to drag race I have ever seen.

It's fine blaming bad tyres and bad driving. It's clear to see that Santa Pod does have track issues.

5:45 that's true love of his car.

Legend has it, that that Mini's tire is still rolling.

0:45 the way he controlled the wheelie was just astonishing...

Response to the fire was beyond shocking

there is hope on youtube. thank you very much for the nice cut, quality, no music and no comment. wonderfull job mate!

What the hell is going on in the left lane after the finish? There were like half a dozen guys who just randomly lose it up there and most of them weren't even going crazy fast.

7:31 HIS TURN SIGNAL IS ON!!!

What does santa pod prep the track with? Random patches of oil?

I’m guessing track prep isn’t Santa Pod’s strong suit?

6:00 Sylvester's training at the car wash comes flooding back into his consciousness...

Love the brits yelling at 5:48

That bloody windmills blowing them off the end of the track

all these fast cars and hard earned cash that have gone into them and the raceway has over weight stewards spraying WATER on a fuel fire,the mind boggles how they get away with them sort of safety methods

After going to the US NHRA SpringNationals last weekend, I was still blown away by the Cooper Mini shearing off the lug studs.

5:45 what a team ! Great response time !

Great footage ,just subscribed keep up the good work,Thanks for posting

Love seeing the Escorts and mini's and Ford Prefects love it thanks heaps

5:52 someone's getting fired today

0:48 this is why the wheeliebar exists

Reaction times measured with an hour glass, but awesome footage.

Dude in the red Honda was like “yeah I know I’m mowing down the timing blocks but fuck it this things on a pass”!!! Full throttle as he rolls into the other lane.

4:50 mechanic at the booth still has 3 lug nuts he forgot to put on 🤣

Why is Santa Pod so skatey up the top end.?

Fun to watch, especially the Volkswagens but feeling the pain for the fails.

Brilliant combination. Such a beautiful Nova that hits a strong wheelie at 12:59. Cheers! 🍷

1:22 the car: I PEE WHEN IM SCARED OK!

Another great compilation full of some, well, crazy moments. Anyone for a ‘revised’ pinion? What about a floaty top end? Perhaps ineffective wheelie bars or maybe even a touch of awesomeness (those who managed to bring back what appeared to be an imminent crash). Then of course there are those whose red mist overwhelms normal thinking and a realisation that getting off the throttle may be a good idea. Quality wheel studs, I’m told, are actually a good idea when significant hp is pumped to the tarmac via slicks, likewise, fire crews who genuinely try but are, ummm, lacking something. What about those people who leave ‘bananas’ on the track? The list goes on! Well done.

4:44 the wheel could’ve won the race😂

Great videos, I subscribed! I love to see the Capris racing. Here in the states they only imported the "Capri II" in 1976 and 1977 and I raced one in the early 80's. They are all but extinct now in the US and it's really rare to see one espically that's at the drags. Thank You!

Thank you for all the comments and support for the videos! I released this video at the beginning of this year and it is now my most viewed video which blows my mind! I'm targeting to hit 50k subscribers by the end of the year and we're just under 1000 away from that goal so if you're not subscribed already please hit that button! Obviously we're out of the drag season in the UK now but I've got some content lined up for you all over the winter months. You can also follow me on Instagram @Mk1Kieran Kieran

4:35 As soon as I saw the back wheels on that thing, I instantly knew that this thing wasn't gonna go very far.

Am so sorry for laughing at the Mini XD It cracked me up

Really enjoyed that 👍

I’m here late to the game and someone probably mentioned this but that save at 2:57 was amazing!!!

I must say that it's really cool what people can do with those cars The acceleration on those cars are absolutely SICK ! But then, BOI that's what you call DRAG RACING

Most excellent rear engine dragster center-line-cross save. Wow!

My friend: look i can a Wheelie with my bicycle! Me: well, i can one with a dragster 2:53

I'm now a fan of European drag racing. It looks like the rules are: 800hp is required, but you can only spend $500 on the chasis.

I wasn't expecting that launch at 4:20😳👍 And at 15:25, he cut a sweet light.

as an American NHRA drag racing fan, i enjoyed the hell out of this, love all the various cars, great see something diff then the usual in the US.

Whats going on with the top end at Santa Pod??

What's wrong with the track 3 quarters to the finish LINE? Track maintainace problem, not the drivers...

My compassion to the rescue service of Santa Pod - these guys never rest

5:57 I didn't know Gordon Ramsay was a drag racing fan.

Hahahahahaha the guy at 7:00 minutes is oblivious to the hood flying lol

Question, do these fire responders practice/drill so they don't look like the Keystone Cops when they have to do their jobs?

The American safety team would have been on that car like a fly on a Lump of shit! 5:25 what a disgrace, they must have taken 5 minutes to get their.

Were those 90s K1500s I just saw, in the UK?

Is there an ice patch at the 1320' on the left side... yikes... I'll take the right thanks!! Great stuff mate. Be safe.

5:46 i feel bad for him he had so much press on him

0:48 thats how my quad bike pulls off,

Very good upload thank you 👍

The dude in 12:20 keeps on spinning out. Seems his ride is too short 😂

"4-cylinder rail dragsters just won't work." Nigel: Hold my beer.

guy at 3:11 did a damn good job keeping it under control

Some great driving 👍

Thanks for putting us in 3:45 🤭👍

Two words: *fire* *extinguishers* It looked like a god dam 1900's New York Fire Brigade with that pro-mod😓

Quality fire department and some of the saddest racing I’ve ever seen in my life

Ford Escort must have been one of the most beautiful cars in my youth. Luv 'em.

5:50 perfect example of another drag strip that is totally not prepared to handle emergency situations. What an incompetence!!!

cant figure is it the track or can no do good alignment in that town some of those look like they just couldn't drive straight like the alignment was way out.

Turn Signals should be required when changing Lanes.

Os carros estão voando!!!

good compilation broth. Excelent. from Panama

really felt for the guy at 5:50. When your cars on fire it feels forever before its out. that guy had it rough, the fire was huge and one guy didnt have enough to put it out.

6:57 LMAO!! The hood couldn't take the heat so it went 100 feet in the air

A Fiesta pulling a wheelie is quite a sight. :D

Gosh I remember watching the voodoo crash! I was in the seating area at the top! Was a crazy thing to watch!😰

that left lane is trash!!!!!! they should all sue the track

5:40 why is this dude racing a 200,000$ race car with no fire suppressant system 🤣🤣🤣

Luv it 👍👍👍👍 ( All the right gear and no idea . AWESOME 👍

GOSH FIRST AND SECOND THESE TWO ARE BEAST

I love a good crash as much as the next guy (no injuries) but when u are there it blows to sit and wait for the track to reopen especially after a fluid spill

The response time for some of these crews are absolutely sad. I would be so mad if I was that guy.

Santa Pod is definitely on my bucket list. 1320 has shot some interesting pieces from there. I wouldn’t mind shipping our car over there and make a few passes.

there's so many things going on with the track staff that wouldn't fly here or at least at Indiana hell one car basically burned to the ground then the red convertible beetle wouldn't be allowed to make another pass after officials saw how loose the suspension is

6:18 That’s British drag races for you

11:54 Nobody saw that

That must be one slick track!

THIS JUST IN: "We have received word that the MINI Cooper tire HAS crossed the English channel and is continuing onward after an exhausting, 18 month battle with the river just doing its thing and being a river; The tire stated it plans to forge ahead in it's quest to be the first tire to make a trip around the world and to reunite with its rear end, despite the rear end finding a new partner"

They must do track prep with cooking lard there!

4:40 the tire went farther than he did haha!

I would have never guessed there was drag racing in England, that's badass. They run some ballzy looking cars!

Santa pod is one hell of a dangerous track. The left lane and the end is, kinda scary

0:38 when your mum is standing on the left side and says: we Go to Burger King

One thing I learned from this vid? The Brit's *CAN NOT* drag race! 😂

It's been a long time since the last time I drag raced, does the green light still mean go.

I noticed a disparaging Comment from 'Chris B' regarding the state of British drag racing... Well, I'm a rally driver so I hate drag racing, but I thought the Santa Pod peeps deserved some love. Two points. One: Yep, true enough, Chris, most Brits view drag racing with as much passion as you view cricket. We're just not interested. For the most part, Brits like circuit racing and rallying; we don't worship horsepower; we don't care who's got the fastest, shiniest, noisiest toy; we're not interested in muscle-cars; we're not impressed by 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile times or by who's got the best numbers. We like driving, not accelerating. We're into the journey, not the arrival. We don't have US-style 'super-speedways' over here either, because we're not impressed by 240+ mph average lap speeds or cars that only turn left. Boring, boring, boring. Let's be honest: drag racing is puerile, straight-line willy-waving, and Santa Pod was built for those few Brits (and bored US military personnel stationed over here) who do, occasionally, enjoy waving their willies in public. We just leave them to get on with it. Why not? They're not hurting anybody. Two: This is a 'mishaps' video, so of course everything's going to look dodgy. Not everyone's rich. Not everyone's an expert. If it's not a Championship Event or International race meeting, pretty much anybody can turn up at Santa Pod and pay to play. If money's tight, you run on a tight budget, just like a lot of the guys in this video. I'm sure there are dozens of small-time, low-key drag meetings in the States where nothing works and nobody can drive and all the cars fall to bits due to poor preparation. The difference is, those meetings aren't shown on KZfaq, are they. Yeah, that old American Bald Ego is a fragile thing... 🤭 The Santa Pod official channel elsewhere on KZfaq gives a more representative view of what goes on, from Top Fuel and Funny Cars right down to bikes and novelties. At the high end there's no shortage of intelligence, passion or expertise, but I suppose it depends on what you're hoping to see. If it's Merkins laughing at Limeys, you wanna see fails. Well, we've got plenty of fails. But then, KZfaq's loaded with videos of humiliating US car disasters, too. Hmm. So all I'm saying is that it's a bit rich drawing conclusions about competence from a fails video...

To have some of these cars here in the U.S. would be very cool! Would throw a lot of people off at the track.

0:47 Me when I get excited xD

0:35 I was at Santa Pod for this, horrible to watch such a nice car crash like that! Was during the classic Ford show

Thank you so much Mrs was my day I got it thank you and I love
