Andy Carter (racing driver)
Andy Alan Carter (January 1961) is a British racing driver who holds British Citizenship and American Green Card. His career in the seat spanned Five decades, the 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s and 2011. He raced in Oval Racing and Drag Racing but is best known for his 17 years in top-level Drag Racing in the class of FIA Top Fuel Dragster. Carter is the UK's fastest racing driver being that from years 2002 to 2011 he raced in competition at speeds over 300mph in England, Finland, Germany, Norway, Sweden, USA and the United Arab Emirates.[Books 1]
A four-time FIA Top Fuel Dragster European Champion, he is often considered the best driver of his era and was widely regarded as one of the best, if not the best drivers in the sport. He won his first FIA European Championship in 2001[Magazine Article 1] with his own team (crew chief by Eddie Corr) in a rented Dragster from Rune Fjeld. In 2002 he was involved in the first side by side 300mph runs, the first side by side 4 Second runs and was the 2nd European driver over 300mph.[Web 1] In 2003 he started his own operation again but a 260mph crash in Norway put Carter out of the FIA Championships. In 2004 he came back stronger, winning the Pro Fuel Shootout in April and then going on to win his second FIA European Top Fuel Championship, becoming the first person to win two FIA European Top Fuel Championships and the only driver to hold the FIA Top Fuel Championship and the Pro Fuel Shootout Championship at the same time. In 2005 and 2006 he bought DIY giant B&Q into the sport when he secured a two-year partnership deal with them. In 2007, with sponsorship from oil giant Lucas Oil he partnered with Karsten and Per Andersen of Andersen Racing. In 2008[Magazine Article 2] and 2009 Carter won back to back titles (the first to do so), cementing him as the most successful Top Fuel Dragster driver in Europe of all time at the time of his retirement. Carter was statistically the most successful British driver in the history of the sport and set many records;

1978 - 1982: Hot Rods
Carter started in Hot Rods at 17 years of age at Bovingdon Raceway in a self-built 1380cc Mini. He quickly progressed to a 1498cc A-Series engine, building his engines with advice from fellow oval racer Ken Knight. He did well for his age at Bovingdon, moving up to the highest grade which carried a Red Roof. After one season at Bovingdon, Carter applied for his Spedeworth License in Hot Rods and took his test at Spedeworths then Head Office; Aldershot Raceway in Oxenden Road, Tongham. Carter competed in Spedeworth (now National Hot Rods) Hot Rods under the number 243 with limited success from 1979 until 1982, again in Minis this time with a 1598cc engine and then moved to Mk2 Escorts in late 1980 with the purchase of June (Hot Rod 310) Tomlinson's Car.
1982 – 1994: Sportsman Drag Racing (Street, Super Gas, Outlaw Anglia)
After leaving Hot Rod racing Carter quickly started attending Run What Ya Brung events at Santa Pod Raceway, starting out with a full race lightweight 1598cc Mini, then a Mk2 Lotus Cortina, followed by a 1973, 351cu in Mustang before building a 1954 Ford Popular with a 400cu in Pontiac engine in it. The street racing scene in the 1980s was massive, events were packed and the ‘racing’ was highly competitive. Carter excelled in this environment and his experience of racing on shale and loose tracks in Hot Rods definitely helped him in Drag Racing.
1984
Carter is runner-up to close friend Dennis Boyle in a Street Machine Magazine shoot out day at Santa Pod Raceway. Carter ran in the 12's all day on street tyres and with a full exhaust system.
1985
Carter won the Street Racer Championship at York Dragway in June, in a race that sent ripples through the Sportsman Drag Racing world. Carter went straight into stage against hot favourite Nick Mann and caused Mann to get a red light putting him out in round 1.
1986
Carter won Gary's Picnic, Saturday night eliminations against tough opposition from all over Europe that included famed street racers Brian Pateman and Tony Gransden amongst others. Carter who ran in the 11s during Saturday's practice then ran well into the 10s when he started using the ‘Gas’ during eliminations. After this event, Carter was told by Santa Pod officials and that he must put a roll cage in his Ford Popular, and wear correct clothing while competing. By winning Gary's Picnic, Carter won £500 prize money and a place in a four-man team, chosen to compete at Mantorp Park Raceway in Sweden.
1987
Carter built the first all-tube-framed streetcar in the sport, commissioning Reg Chatwin of RHC Chassis to build the frame and then putting the car together himself.
1988
After missing the first two rounds of the championship, Carter finished Runner-up in the Custom Car Magazine / Wynns, Street Car Championship.[Magazine Article 3]
1989
Carter won the Custom Car Magazine / Wynns, Street Car Championship convincingly, winning 6 of the 9 rounds. Carter was often accused of cheating (It was perceived that he was using Nitrous Oxide) during this season and the car was stopped and thoroughly checked just before going through the burnout water twice.
1990
Carter moved to Super Gas but struggled due to handling issues with the car and this ended with a 130mph crash when making a demo run at the Bug Jam - Santa Pod Raceway.[Magazine Article 4]
1991
Super Gas and Outlaw Anglia competition.
1992
Outlaw Anglia and Run What Ya Brung events.
