The Showtime Fuel FC was one of the centrepieces of Santa Pod's display.

Andy Carter's team were on hand to explain about Top Fuel racing.

Martin Hill had both the Fireforce 3 Jet FC...

...and the Goblin-powered Jet Bike on display. It's high time you got on this bike, Martin.

One of Santa Pod's Junior Dragsters attracted the kids.

You're not imagining it, that is a set of Dodgems behind Showtime.

Paul Webster's Sportsman ET Mini was in attendance, which took us by surprise as we didn't know he was coming.

Santa Pod's display attracted a steady stream of visitors.

Andy Carter is making ten promotional appearances this season on top of six race dates.

This squashed clutch finger forced Andy Robinson and team to pull out the transmission and clutch for replacement in the hour between appearances.

Andy told us that they finished work on the car in the line-up before their next show.

Junior Dragster racer Joe Kellett was overseen by dad and Eurodragster.com News sponsor Pete.

Finally a decently-lit shot of Andy Frost in action...Kirstie caught this one, and the majority of today's pictures, with a camera she had never touched before today after crass incompetence and alarming ineptitude on your reporter's part jammed her own camera's memory card in an incorrect reader slot.

Conrad Stanley taking the bend onto the home straight of the Live Action Arena.

Andy Robinson leaving another long trail of smoke.

Andy Robinson's team of the day: Bob Roberts, Andy, Luke Robinson, Stefani Robinson, Tom Barnes.

Conrad Stanley and team: PR Wayne Corbitt missed out today due to commitments elsewhere.

Kirstie managed to catch Andy Frost, here with his family, in the couple of seconds he has not been smiling these last few days.

Joe Kellett's and Matthew Seamarks' Junior Dragster teams, and families: one of the great things about Junior Dragster is that it usually amounts to the same thing.

Santa Pod also had a presence in the Pistonheads Show, promoting the Import scene. A popular display as we understand that the place was cleaned out of SPR flyers.

This Beetle belongs to Dan Turbo Nutta (sic).

Scott Whitelaw's Honda Civic Type R won the HKS Drag Series FWD class in 2007.

Johnny McKeon drove this Nissan Skyline to the Street win in the HKS Drag Series.

Mick Begley's Skyline was on an adjoining stand promoting this year's Pro Street Drag Series at Shakespeare County Raceway.

This car belongs to European Drift Championship sponsor SVA Imports.
