SANTA POD RACEWAY, U.K. (May 2026) – Andres Arnover and his team added another major accomplishment to their season this weekend, taking home the win at the Santa Pod Raceway Doorslammer 2026 event for the second year in a row.
After working through challenges earlier in eliminations, Arnover continued to fight his way through the field and advanced to the final round against Andy Robinson in a highly competitive Pro Doorslammer matchup.
When it mattered most, Arnover delivered. He powered his way to a strong 5.737-second pass at 259.65 MPH to secure the victory and defend his Santa Pod Doorslammer title.
The final round was close early on, with both drivers posting nearly identical reaction times off the starting line. From there, Arnover’s combination continued to accelerate down track, recording a 3.837-second eighth-mile pass at 205.14 MPH before crossing the finish line at nearly 260 MPH for the win.
Going back-to-back at one of Europe’s most respected drag racing events is a major achievement, especially in a class as competitive as Pro Doorslammer. The victory speaks to the hard work, consistency, and determination of Arnover and his entire team throughout the weekend.
Congratulations again to Andres Arnover and everyone involved on another huge victory at Santa Pod Raceway and an impressive repeat performance at Doorslammer 2026.
