Wacky furniture drag race

Drag racing wows crowds by pitting some of the world’s most powerful cars against each other over a short stretch of track … it also sometimes features a picnic table competing against a sofa.

That’s what happened recently at Santa Pod Raceway in the UK where two wacky-looking vehicles went head-to-head.

The motorised picnic table came complete with a tablecloth, plates, cutlery and glasses and left the two-seater sofa, which featured a small side table with a flower on it, in its wake during a quarter-mile (402m) race.
