- "It's only a matter of time before the race turns dirty! We're seeing some rough flying out there as the racers vie for the winner's circle!"
- ―A podracing announcer
A podracer was someone who competed in podracing using a podracer.[1] Podracers had a tradition of drinking a cup of engine fuel just before a race, as they believed it brought them good luck.[3]
Prior to joining the Jedi Order, Anakin Skywalker was a noted podracer, winning the Boonta Eve Classic. He was the only human known to compete in podracing.[1]
