Well this is still a couple of weeks away, hope we can get more peeps.

If anyone is apprehensive about drag racing. It's really easy to do and the people out there are actually quite nice and helpful.

It doesn't matter how fast your car goes either.

It is a bit far (from Brisbane) but consider people who live in other cities that don't have a drag strip anywhere near them.

It is also awesome fun and there are some really impressively fast cars other than lancers.

This may be a silly question but,
Never been to a drag race or know how they work? All I know is you race down a straight against someone else.

But can someone tell me with drag races do you get put against other vehicles that like yourse or is it just who ever you go against with that's has a car x3 faster then you?

There are 4 staging lanes, you queue up and if you want to race someone line up behind them. The first 2 cars in each lane race each other. So you can control who u race.

its just a time trial.
if u ask the starter u can run down the strip with a special friend to try to beat them but usually you`re just trying to beat your personal best in a race against the clock.

theres plenty of other stock NA`s in the club that`ve been down the quarter, i`m not sure if any times were recorded here though.
i remember 13EZY getting something like 15.3 one night, maybe another qlander can remember the exact figure?
