Grandstand already draws a transatlantic clientele to its range of international motorsport programs embracing Formula One, Le Mans, MotoGP, World Superbikes, Historic races and Classic events, including the fabled Goodwood Festival of Speed.

Now Grandstand has added a top-class drag racing program to its portfolio, featuring these two European excursions alongside NHRA’s Full Throttle Series events at Gainesville, Las Vegas 2 and Pomona 2. Noted for their friendly approach, Grandstand’s staff can custom-design itineraries around their race tours for clients who seek a longer vacation.

By special arrangement, Grandstand guests at either of these European races will receive autographed copies of the newest addition to drag racing’s international library, Andy Carter – King Of Europe. This lavishly illustrated hardback book, co-authored by Andy Carter and Dan Welberry and detailing in 180 full-color pages the life and career of Europe’s reigning and only three-time FIA Top Fuel champion, has been published as Carter readies for his US Top Fuel debut in Lucas Oil colors at Pomona.
