Season Opener Rains Out

Anticipation and enthusiasm abound as the drag racing season kicked off proper.  The day had been fine and hot but as with everything tropical, the weather was forming unseen in the rural areas and racing was going to be affected later on.

A great range of new cars were out for some testing and racing, including a large group of street bikers that had recently attended and raced the test and tune two weeks prior.

By late afternoon a large thunderstorm had steered its way over the valley.  Racing continued up until the downpour stopped competition.  It was only brief with about 20 mins of rain and as soon as it stopped all hand were on deck to dry the track out.  The concrete portion of the drag strip was looking great but the bitumen would take a little longer and with time restraints against us the event had to be cancelled.  Unfortunate given the efforts taken to dry the track.

The next event is the Dash 4 Cash on Saturday 26 April
