Default Sydney Dragway Off street Drag Racing.

Has anyone been to this before? It's on basically every Wednesday night according to there site.

I been keen on taking my car down to one some time. It's only a N/A Falcon but would still be pretty cool to have a crack.

Anyone go to them?

I know quite a few people who go to it, usually as a test and tune for their dedicated drag cars before events. Some of them will have a go in their street cars as well.

99% of the cars that attend Wednesday nights are street cars.

Oh really? That would be brilliant. We need something like that out here. The Dubbo one had a burnout pad in it now too.

All sorts get out there, doesn't matter what you drive, it's all about enjoying yourself, just got back myself from a night out tonight. $55 for 6 to 8 runs and plenty of yarns is great value.

Next person who says this gets a whack from the mighty mod stick Sheez you guys have a ton more fun than the forced induction 10 second obsessed troops. Get out and enjoy, nothing better than watching mates going head to head and just having a laugh. And even getting that bug to squeeze the odd tenths out of a N/A. And of course your N/A's will eat stocko 'performance cars' from not so many years ago

On another note some great pics in above link inc a FG R-Spec
