WE are live! Entries for Street Machine<\/em> Drag Challenge<\/a> Weekend are now open. In case you\u2019ve been living under a rock and don\u2019t know what Drag Challenge is, you can click here for the full rundown<\/a>, but essentially it\u2019s a bunch of like-minded drag racers driving their cars between tracks, helping each other along the way and having a bloody good time.<\/p>\n

Drag Challenge weekend<\/span>Drag Challenge Weekend is our first of two DC events for 2019, spanning four days instead of six at the full fat Drag Challenge. If you\u2019ve never done Drag Challenge before, this is a great way to ease yourself into the chaos.<\/p>\n

Drag Challenge weekend<\/span>Drag Challenge Weekend will be on 3-6 May 2019 and like last year, it will be based in Queensland and we\u2019ll travel from Willowbank Raceway to Warwick Dragway and back to Willowbank across three days. The first day is for you to complete all of your paperwork and have your car scrutineered before the action happens.<\/p>\n

Drag Challenge weekend<\/span>We\u2019ll have a check in day on Friday 3 May at Willowbank Raceway, with racing commencing on Saturday 4 May. On Sunday we\u2019ll have day two of racing at Warwick\u2019s eighth-mile drag strip before returning to Willowbank on Monday for the final day\u2019s racing. The Monday is a public holiday in Queensland because it\u2019s the Labor Day long weekend.<\/p>\n

As usual, Scotty will set a route, with mandatory photo stops along the way. The route for this year\u2019s event will cover at least 650km of road driving between the tracks.<\/p>\n

Drag Challenge weekend<\/span>We\u2019re also introducing a couple of new classes for this year: a pair of 235 tyre classes and a dedicated six-cylinder class. So there will be 235 Radial Blown and 235 Radial Aspirated classes which are fairly self-explanatory \u2013 maximum tyre width of 235mm, no slicks. Then there\u2019s the XR6 Turbo Developments Six-cylinder class<\/a> \u2013 for anyone with a six-pot and a 275 or smaller radial tyre. The rest of the class info can be found here.<\/p>\n

If this all sounds like fun, then enter by clicking here<\/a>! The cost for the whole deal is $350.<\/h4>\n

Drag Challenge weekend<\/span>Thanks mightily to our class sponsors, who make all this possible!<\/h4>\n
