Dragster Racing

Dragster Racing: Everything you need to know

Not into supercars? Tanks a bit tame? Now you can channel the Dukes of Hazzard (if you can remember them) as you take to the track with one of Wish.co.uk’s awesome drag racing experiences.

With a top speed of 130 miles per hour (that’s 0-60 in one-and-a-half seconds, fact fans), these awesome drag racing cars present the ultimate challenge for folks who like their cars beefy, speedy and very, very noisy. You won’t believe the power of these awesome drag race cars until you’ve been there and done it yourself.

Your fully trained dragster buddies will kit you out with everything you need, including a crash helmet (just in case) and a seat behind the wheel of a classic drag racing car - something like a Dodge or a Cherry Vega. All you need is a driving license and a bit of chutzpah.

Wish.co.uk’s dragster racing experiences take place at a range of locations around the UK. Like all our other motor sports days, all participants are fully briefed in the art of ‘not crashing’, which helps. As long as you know how to drive and have a licence to prove it, you’re all set.

FAQs

Q: How is drag racing different from other driving experiences?
A: Drag racing takes place on a quarter-mile track, so the cars need to be incredibly fast off the blocks. That’s where the power (and noise) comes from. It’s not just a case of crossing the line first: you’re also required to have super-speedy reaction times. Unlike many other driving experiences, you’ll normally drive in a straight line, not round a circuit.
Q: How old do I need to be to take part?
A: Wish.co.uk dragster experiences are available to anyone aged 18 or over who holds a full UK driving licence. No photocopies, provisional licenses or unconvincing doodles, please. Some venues also impose height and weight restrictions depending on the vehicles on offer. If you’re large ’n’ lanky, either check the experience page for information or give us a ring to check the specifics.
Q: Can I book a date in winter?
A: Drag racing is an outdoor pursuit, and spectators generally don’t like standing around in the rain. Plus racing dragsters in bad weather is generally not a good idea for safety reasons. You can buy a voucher any time you like, but you’ll need to book your experience in the warmer months of the year (normally between March and October). Our vouchers are valid for 10 months from the date of purchase.
