    It was a brilliant day..Got a little warm at times,but the racing was good..The tourists put on a good show,, and was good to see some Kiwi/US side by side racing,against our own Kiwi freight train.. The Nitro Flashback funny popped the blower,late afternoon,and even took a piece of the roof out of the body,I heard..

    Thanks for the link, Robin! Definitely a great bunch of cars on display and racing!!! The facility itself looks to be really first rate, too! I'd say Drag Racing is definitely alive and well in NZ!!!!!

    That was a great array of nice cars and hot rod people! Glad you had a good time at it!

    The facility is a dual purpose job..Circuit racing track is in there as well,Dave..The only issue some of the street classes have,is they seem to be losing up to half a second on that track,quite probably because of the altitude,and maybe also the fact that it was a little humid at the time,but everyone had a ball( I think) I know your countrymen did.. with threequarter track burnouts,and smoky runs from beginning to end,while giving two fingers up in the air.. Krazy dude..
    There is a bit of BS down here at the moment,as we have got two factions fighting,,NZDRA,and someone has invited IHRA in as well,and there is a bit of B floating..Stuff the politics..
