20th ANNIVERSARY – 2026 GRAND AUCTION – NEW GALA VENUE
In this year of Drag Racing anniversaries, the British Drag Racing Hall of Fame celebrates its 20th anniversary, having been founded in 2006.
At Santa Pod’s Dragstalgia (26-28 June), the Hall of Fame will conduct its annual Grand Auction and Sale, by courtesy of Santa Pod. Auction items this year will be focused on UK Drag Racing memorabilia and proceeds will go to the BDRHOF Benevolent Fund. The Hall of Fame has amassed a substantial inventory of items but there is still time and room for more to be accepted. Anyone wishing to donate UK-related artefacts that might have significant auction value is invited to make contact via info@britishdragracinghof.co.uk.
The 2026 Gala & Awards Dinner will take place on Saturday 21st November, but this time at a new venue. Since 2017 the ceremony at which the year’s new Hall of Fame Members are inducted has been comfortably based at Oatlands Park Hotel in Weybridge, west of London. However, the directors have felt that a more central location might benefit Members and guests and have chosen the Kenilworth Suite at Chesford Grange Hotel, Kenilworth near Coventry (CV8 2LD) for the Gala’s new home: https://www.chesfordgrange.com/. Full details and booking arrangements will be made available in due course. In the meantime, please save the date.
