Dragstalgia is just six weeks away. Santa Pod Raceway’s premier historic drag racing event is a major occasion on the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame’s calendar. The names of the Hall of Fame’s new Members are revealed for the first time, prior to their induction at November’s Gala, and the HoF conducts its annual Grand Auction & Sale to raise essential funds for itself and for its associated Benevolent Fund.

The HoF has an impressive selection of items ready to be unveiled on the Auction table, but further donations will always be most welcome. Anyone possessing artefacts, components, pictures, posters, paintings, clothing, memorabilia or other items of Drag Racing interest which they would like to see passed on to an appreciative new home while also benefiting both institutions in the process, is invited to donate them for auction or sale.

During The Main Event, the HoF’s Hon. Chair, Lesley Wright, is pleased to accept donated items delivered to her at Tony Betts’ Venom Nostalgia Funny Car pit. Meanwhile, HoF director Phil Cottingham is happy to visit the pits to collect items. Collection visits can be arranged by emailing Phil at phil.cottingham@britishdragracinghof.co.uk. All donations will be gratefully received.

The Hall of Fame’s directors, advisers and selectors and the Benevolent Fund’s trustees all serve in a voluntary capacity, pro bono.
