For all its orderly precision, drag racing retains a capacity for the occasional weird outcome. Round four of Motorsport UK’s British Drag Racing Championship produced a finish as strange as any. The Pro Mods were an extracurricular attraction at Santa Pod’s giant Volkswagen festival, Bug Jam 38, last weekend and three European heavyweights – Estonia’s Andres Arnover and Dutchmen Michel Tooren and David Vegter – had come to take on Britain’s best.
All three reached the semi-finals in Sunday’s eliminations. Owing to an odd-numbered field, Arnover and Tooren were matched together while Vegter was gifted a bye run straight to the final.
