HKS Drag Series Television Air Dates
If you've been enjoying the HKS Drag Series action this year, then you'll LOVE the HKS Drag Series TV shows that are out later in the season. We've already previewed the footage from round 1, and it makes for fantastic viewing, with close racing, in car footage (now that's something you don't see at the events!) and lots of thrills and spills. Motors TV have announced provisional air-dates for the HKS Drag Series as being: October 23rd till November 13th, Thursdays @ 8.00 PM.
09/05/08
The HKS Drag Series is being filmed in 2008 with the intention of getting the shows on national television. The package includes in-car cameras and higher-quality post-production that should really help raise the profile of the series and those that compete in it.

Due to an underwhelming response, the tech day on April 12th has been cancelled. However, if you have any specific questions about your vehicle, or are worried about compliance with the 2008 rulebook, please contact Geoff, Mark, or myself, or speak to one of the “chassis builders” on the page links page and you should be able to get everything sorted and 100% in time for the PTM Show.
Apologies if you were planning on attending this day.
01/04/08
The planned date for the pre-season tech-inspection for the HKS Drag Series is Saturday 12th April. This the inspection is free, but I need commitment from enough people to make it worth while putting on the staff to oversee the day.
Therefore, if you would like your car checked for all aspects of the HKS Drag Series rulebook, please let us know BY WEDNESDAY if you are attending on Sat 12th. If I don’t have enough people committed, the date will be cancelled and the next opportunity for an inspection will be the PTM Show, by which point it may be too late to get any changes made.

After a discussion at the Autosport Show, it is worth mentioning that we could have elected class representatives for each class. The “class reps” could deal with finding contingency sponsorship for all the racers in the class, and also for investigating and implementing rulebook changes for future consideration. Candidates are welcome to come forward, and then a vote can be taken. Ideally they should be someone who understands the class they want to represent, has had some experience of building or racing cars, and has the contacts to find sponsors and offer promotion. Please note this is purely for putting money into the pockets of racers, and not an activity Santa Pod can undertake.

We are investigating a way of making it easier to comply with the flywheel shield regs as stated in the rules. We are aware that there are clearance issues with some makes and models of cars. Stay tuned to this page for further news.
