This is it! Make sure you get yourself up to Santa Pod for the last race of the year, the 2008 National Finals.

After the rain affected European Finals a few weeks ago the Santa Pod event organisers decided to pull a few strings and arrange a bit of a spectacle for National Finals. A Nitro Shoot-Out including night-time fuel session will now take place over the 2 day meeting comprising 6 Fuel cars – 3 Top Fuel Dragsters and 3 Fuel Funny Cars! The six drivers in the Nitro Shoot-out will be John Spuffard, Risto Poutiainen, Thomas Nataas, Barry Sheavills, Linda Thun Tønseth and Gary Page!

Now add to this the final round of all the UK's premier sportsman championships, including the VWDRC and how can you miss it!!?

Whilst Spencer Tramm and rookie James Hodson are already champions in VW Sportsman and VW Pro respectively VW Alternate Engine is still open, can Andy Raw's ever improving 900bhp Funny Car catch Scott Evison's Subaru powered bug!?

It's not all decided in the other classes either, late season form has seen Chris Bray rise to second in VW Sportsman, but Adrian Wigley is only 10 points behind and Craig Allen and Martin Ayton are both more than in with a shout! Can Chris carry on his winning ways or will one of the contenders take the second place spot? There's sure to be some action in VW Pro too, Russ Fellows in his 9 second street car and Phil Norman in the beetle pickup will both be fighting tooth and nail for second place as James tries to stamp his authority on the championship and Rich Merriman returns in 'the unicorn' with yet more power from a new bigger turbo setup...

It's all going off this weekend at Santa Pod. Be there.
