The British Drag Racing Hall of Fame is delighted to announce that a total of £4,000 was raised for the BDRHoF Benevolent Fund over the Dragstalgia weekend. This includes the quest by Colin Theobald to have every vehicle entered sporting BDRHoF Benevolent Fund stickers – thank you Colin!
We would also like to thank Santa Pod Raceway for allowing us to be part of the weekend’s activities and are grateful to everyone who kindly donated items. In particular, the last-minute contributions from the Dos Palmas, Mooneyes and Bradford’s teams went down a storm.
If anyone has any pre-loved or new artefacts, artworks, T-shirts, books, models, stickers or anything at all Drag Racing or Hot Rod related for our future Auctions, please do contact Lesley Wright at lesley .
We were privileged to be able to show Rob & Pete Brown’s historic collection of driver protection gear to a wider audience and thank them and also Keith Bartlett and Bev Bradbury who entrusted us with their precious items to display.
The British Drag Racing Hall of Fame’s 2024 Gala Awards Dinner takes place on Saturday 23rd November. The location will again be Oatlands Park Hotel at Weybridge, Surrey, whose elegant, four-star luxury has served the Hall of Fame so well since 2017.
The highlight of the evening will be the induction of this year’s five new Hall of Fame Members revealed at Dragstalgia: Ray Baskerville & Pete Miller, the Huxley Family, Martin Hill, John Spuffard and Straightliners. Notable presentations will also include the Stuart
Bradbury Junior Drag Racing Awards to the season’s winning Junior Dragster and Dragbike racers. Last year the popular pre-dinner drinks reception hosted by Santa Pod Raceway featured the unveiling of a new addition to Santa Pod’s growing historic racecar collection. Perhaps this year’s occasion might include a similar revelation.
Further details of the Gala will be announced soon. Until then, please save the date in your diaries: Saturday 23 rd November 2024.
