The Ford Show is more than just your average car show, with Ford only RWYB, Show & Shine Competition, Handling Track, Drag Racing Demos, Stunt Shows, Jet Cars and everything else you could possibly imagine to make a great day out for the family and every Ford enthusiast.
From the earliest Anglias, Escorts and Cortinas, through to the latest Mustangs, Focuses and Fiestas; the best of the Blue Oval has graced Santa Pod’s famed drag strip since its earliest days. This weekend we once again pay homage to the very best of Ford's cars and of course vans! Giving you the opportunity to take your Ford down the quarter mile.
Open to Fords Only, Pre-Booking Only
The drag strip will be open for you to take your own car down the track with timing data at ETSlips!

Open to Fords Only

Stunt driving extraordinaire Paul Swift leads the Ford Display Team who perform live driving sequences for TV audiences & live events around the globe. You can see the team in the live action arena where they will be performing demonstrations of car ballet, drifting, 2 wheel driving and speedy parking manoeuvres.
Wreaking havoc in the Live Action Arena will be the mightiest Ford on site, the Swamp Thing monster truck driven by Tony Dixon. A Ford F350 Super Duty with a supercharged methanol injected 572ci tall block, Swamp Thing was a previous Monster Jam competitor and double winner at UK Monster Truck Nationals.
The Blue Oval will be well-represented on the track with Round 4 of the Modified 100e Challenge. A family staple of the 1950s and 60s, they have been given a new lease of life on the road. Built to run well into the 9 second zone, these cars will take on all ST, RS and Cosworth rivals and show that you can in fact teach an old dog new tricks.
Supplying the soundtrack to the daytime activities will be the Live Stage with host by DJ Jem behind the decks and live band Rental Radio. (Sat)
