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
