Default STREET DRAGS - what fun :)

This is a sign I would like to see in Australia



Just add some barriers & a Xmas Tree and off you go







Legal Skids lol


Its the 43rd Annual Port Road, Wellington (Seaview actually) Street Drags. They block off Port Rd which edges the bay & a large industrial estate & run 1/8th mile Drags. Fully supported by the Police & Local Council!! Pity back woods thinking AUS doesnt have the same sort of events.

Yes and i did say 43RD

More pics later

They even have a WEB SITE LOL http://www.port-road.com/

love it

the law is absolutely crazy now, if u do a burnout on the street ur considered up there as bad as a murderer, paedofile.

funny thing is i'm not sure if it's true but illegal street drag racing the fatalities i believe are higher now than 10-15 years ago.

3500HP Pro-Mod/Top Doorslammer isn't a street car, well in Australia anyway plus he was asked to do it, he was silly for doing it so big. he should have just done a burnout instead of a powerskid at least then he could control it easier.
