| European Drag Racing Championships 2006 |
| The Fastest Motor Sport on Earth - 300 MPH! |
| The FIA European Drag Racing Championships features the fastest sport over a quarter mile on the planet. |
 |
Drag Racing is a flat-out race between 2 cars with speeds of up to 300mph along a quarter-mile strip.
Drag Racing was born in the USA and began in the forties when teenagers raced each other between traffic lights down the main 'drag' of their sleepy Californian towns. As this practice became more popular, the authorities moved racers off the streets and onto the surrounding dry lakes and disused airfields that were left after World War II.
Years on, the televised European Drag Racing Championships comprises of 8 official classes competing across Europe.
Crowds of up to 40,000 spectators consist of loyal racing fans including a wider family audience now appreciating the growing sport. |
