What a week! Street Machine Drag Challenge presented by VPW is over for the year, but the content story is only just beginning! Each DC produces a 1000 fascinating stories and we’re planning to get as many of them spotlighted and out in the universe in the mag, on our socials and online over the next few weeks.
For now, let’s catch up on the award-winners from DC26. These include the induction of new members to the Seven Second Club, the overall Top Ten and high achievement awards, including Spirt of Drag Challenge and Quickest without a Trailer.
Thanks to all of our entrants and sponsors, the amazing track and sanctioning body teams, our media and operations teams and the fans for making DC26 our biggest yet!

SEVEN SECOND CLUB & 200MPH CLUBS
To join the Seven Second, Four Second or 200mph Drag Challenge clubs, you must not only run the pass during competition (and in the case of the Four Second club, this must be done at an eighth-mile track) and you must also finish the event! Getting one of these caps is a real achievement for any racer, no matter how experienced.
