Draper Tools signs as official tool partner to Santa Pod Raceway

Santa Pod Raceway, the home of European Drag Racing has signed Draper Tools as its official tool partner for the 2011 season.

The deal sees the perennial manufacturer taking significant presence at the FIA-approved venue, benefiting from the ‘Pod’s simply enormous footfall throughout the season, in addition to the many TV shows and televised FIA rounds that the venue hosts.

In return, Draper will be providing all of Santa Pod’s technical, event and ground-keeping staff with all the tools they could possibly need – quite some feat for a venue that welcomes over 350,000 visitors each year and runs its own fleet of Top Fuel Cars and Trucks – and even a fleet of Jet vehicles!

David Lloyd-Jones. General Manager, Santa Pod.

‘It may be an old cliché, but having the right tool for the job can make all the difference to us. With an event almost every weekend, our teams are constantly maintaining either the site, or one of our many vehicles. We’ve used Draper Tools before, and their quality and fitness for purpose makes them the perfect partners for Santa Pod.’

Clive Richardson. Marketing Director, Draper Tools

‘Whether it’s maintaining the Santa Pod site or working on the top fuel dragsters and the jet car - to be winners, teams have to rely on their mechanics. Professional mechanics at the ‘Pod’ rely on the quality of Draper Tools. We are delighted to be the “Tools Supplier of Choice” to Santa Pod Raceway.’
