Winter Nationals Drag meet - Willowbank Oz

[Kylie]

Hi guys just a few pics to share, we went over to see some Loti friends last week who moved to Redlands just south of Brisbane nearly a year ago. They hooked up some tickets for all of us to see the Winter Nationals Drag meet at Willowbank. I have never seen Top fuel cars run in the flesh before up so close, they are so loud its scary, they make Top Alcohol look and sound like childs play!!! They said this was the biggest race meeting out of North America, quite simply because it is...also running a full 1/4 mile too - they have since shortened the strip in states cause too many people were being killed

There was pretty much a full line up of: Top Fuel, Nitro Funny cars, Top Alcohol, Top Doorslammer, Top Bike – Kiwis won this !! Pro Stock, Pro Bike, then lower groups of Comp bike, Comp, Super stock, Super compact, Super charged Outlaws – very cool indeedy!! Modified super sedeans, Super street, Mod bike, Junior Dragster, Super gas.

I'm looking at the guy on the bike waiting for a green light with god knows how much horsepower about to be unleashed, with no protection to speak of, and trying to imagine what that would feel like at the start line.... I think I'd wet myself before the light went.
