Drag training in the UK? Where?

A question to drag racers/drivers - where do you train in UK? on circuits or something? Can you share some information about places that drag racers train and you can come and watch them? Nothing found on several sport websites and others like this: https://zoptamo.com/uk/s-drag_racing-c-uk-coach even if it is created for helping with this particular search

here's the firth gear home page

my start would be looking for videos on UK drag racing or racing in general
and posting in those videos asking for drag racing schools.

My next try would be going to UK drag races and talking to some of the racers.
The price of knowledge is the cost of a pit pass....

Where is Santa Pod?

A good way to learn is to be a volunteer crewman/gopher
and hanging out with a race team.....those guys talk racing all the time....

When I first started racing I used to subscribe to cars and car conversions.
Sadly they closed in 2003.....you might check for other racing magazines
on the news stand and see what you can find.

I have tried to be helpful.
Keep us posted on what you learn when you start visiting the drag track
and if you find other info, post it up for others to read.

Thanks.-Bob
