All but one of the five Aussie teams made it right through to the end, a massive achievement by all. Jeff Lutz took the overall win in his Mad Max 1969 Camaro, with an average of 6.191-seconds at 240mph.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there is a lot more to drag week than Mr Lutz and five teams of rowdy Aussies. There were 347 teams all up, including some super-cool cars from Europe.\u00a0We\u2019ll bring you more on some of our favourites over the next week, but for\u00a0now, you can enjoy Scotty\u2019s final video highlights package from this year\u2019s event.<\/p>\n<p>A big shout-out to Scott, Nathan Jacobs and Povi Pullinen, who teamed up to deliver the video, words and photos we\u2019ve brought you over the last week. Keep an eye out for their feature on the event in the December issue of <em>SM<\/em>, it will be a cracker! Today the boys had a few hours off to bang off a few thousand rounds at the local shooting range, checked out some crazy tractor pull action and indulged in some killer BBQ. Thanks also to the team from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hotrod.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Hot Rod<\/em> Magazine<\/a> for their generous hospitality.<\/p>\n<p>And if you are experiencing post-Drag Week withdrawal, you can find comfort that <a href=\"\/events\/drag-challenge\/drag-challenge-2016-entries-closed\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Street Machine<\/em> Drag Challenge<\/a>\u00a0is going to kick off in under a month\u2019s time. While we won\u2019t see any six-second Pro Mods racing, you will see over 100 of the toughest street cars on Australian soil duking it out.
