Well what can i say, this most recent Full Throttle Friday meet was one of the best, if not the best i have attended. An awesome number and selection of cars racing throughout the night, together with some Top Fuel header flames, skatey passes, sparks flying from under cars and a few new and exciting racers out testing.
One of the most weather cursed events on the Aus drag racing calender would have to be the Summernationals. Its has been 5 years from memory since the event has been run in its entirity over the full 2 days. Maybe it's just me, but i think it's wierd to have the words 'Summer' & 'Rain' together, maybe they should change the name to the Wetnhumid Nationals instead...
With the previous weeks Testing cancelled due to bad weather, and the Summer's just a few days away Sydney Dragway decided to let the racers test out the cars and gather valuable data for the weekends event in place of the usual Wed night off street meet.
If your a big fan of candy paint, huge chrome rims, leather interiors and onscene amounts of speakers & monitors then this was the show for you. Not my usual scene but wanting to get out there and cover something a bit different i made the trip to Rosehill gardens (a fairly prestigeous horse racing facility) for the event.
Oh how time fly's when your havin fun, or at least waiting till the next meet comes around......
What better way to start off the new year with a Sydney Dragway "Full Throttle Friday". Numbers were a bit down on usual, but this only gave the racers more runs, and gave me more chances to get the shots i was after.
The long awaited issue #4 of Sport Compact Drag Racer Magazine hit the stands today and is feature packed.
