Default The new Darwin Dragstrip

Went to the first of two nights of the drags last night on the new (4.6 million spent) drag strip.

8 or 9 door slammers in attendance.......awesome.

John Zappia came out late in the night and set a track record at 5.936 on his first run......385klmph, taking 0.3 of the previous record.

It boasts the flattest track in the southern hemisphere. Looking forward to seeing a top fuel dragster here.

And it was a freezing Darwin winter night - down to 17 degrees...brrrr

Competition night tonight.......I love the smell of methanol in the evening.

Have ear muffs
