🏁 Dodson at Doorslammers 2025
📍Santa Pod Raceway, UK 🇬🇧
Our EMEAA Sales Manager, Lee Turley, made his debut at Doorslammers this past weekend, and what a weekend it was.
Now in its seventh year, this event just keeps getting bigger. With racers flying in from Switzerland, Germany, Denmark, Greece and beyond, Santa Pod roared with a truly international lineup and some of Europe’s finest drag racing talent.
We reconnected with key customers and partners, including Tom Wrigley Performance, Klasen Motors, and the team from Street Performance, who hit the strip in their freshly built race car running a Dodson transmission.
🏆 A special shoutout to Material Mord Racing, who set a new European GT-R ¼ mile record with a blistering 6.6s run in their TH400-equipped monster.
With its electric atmosphere, global reach, and growing momentum, Doorslammers is an action-packed event, and we’re already looking forward to the next one.
📸 Swipe through to catch highlights from an epic weekend at Santa Pod.
Catch our EMEAA Sales Manager, Lee Turley, at SCC500 at Zweibrücken Airfield in Germany! ⚡️

Another world record in the books with Dodson’s Extreme Duty Gearset and other Dodson components. 🏆🏎️⚡️🏁
Congratulations to Underground Racing and Afterhours on making history with the first-ever 6-second quarter-mile pass in an Audi R8, officially making it the quickest and fastest R8/Huracán on the planet.
This full-interior, street-trim beast debuted at TX2K, immediately turning heads with a 7.32 @ 218 MPH pass. But that was just the beginning. Fast forward to Rockingham Dragway: with just a few test runs, the team shattered the previous record, culminating in an incredible 6.94 @ 218 MPH pass, with our Dodson parts putting in the work.
Proud to power record-breaking performance.
