I understand there is quite a big drag racing scene down there and amongst those cursed Kiwi's too. (jk) Would love to check it out sometime if I can make it to the other side...

HIya Skids72,

Our Drag Racing scene is not as big as yours, but yes, we do have a great little following around the country at regional tracks and a few of our major tracks as well.

the trouble with our major tracks is they are in NSW and QLD and for us to travel say to Sydney, its a 7 - 9 hour road trip one way and QLD is approx 17 hours from Melbourne one way to say Willowbank track. It costs lots of dollars to trailer the car, accommodation etc, plus if you break something that's a big cost too.

I enjoy working on the Rodder's Life program, i get to meet all the fantastic Rodders and when I go Drag Racing, I get to hang out with my Drag Racing friends too. Working with AWMN means I get to meet Ordinary women doing extroadinary things too, I really can't complain about my life at all!

Drag racing in Australia does'nt have the money in it like the USA ( corporate sponsors and the like), racers do it Oz for the love of it mostly!

If you get to Australia, let me know and I will make sure you get to see lots of racing and lots of rods too!

Cheers,
Mrs Mopar
