***Otepuni Street Drags Invercargill***

[rockr]

all drag racing on a street is supposed to be 1/8th mile, nzdra wont allow drag racing on a street , hence why it is sanctioned under the hot rod club banner, and hot rod clubs are only allowed to run 1/8th mile drags.

gore and otepuni has always been 1/8th mile as far as i am aware. may have been 1/4 in the old days before osh and all the crap hit the fan after that guy was killed in queenstown.

i was running 8.3s at 84 mile an hour, car threw a wobbly during the second round of knock out , but went fine after that ?? going to investigate electrical issues tonight.

it amazes me how many people walk around and go ' my car is faster than these v8sandmyevo is way tidyer than that heap , but yet ya never see them front up and prove anything , really getsme going!!!!!

big thanks to everyone who turned up, and especially those who hung around to clean , and pack up the caravan, timing gear , pa system and rubbish collection . Great to see more street cars turning up.

Happens all the time even at track days! Silly cunts, if its so fast come race.

Tis a very slippery track that end of the launch pad. Its better the other direction.
