Check at the launch on this Mustang at Sydney Dragway. Pretty wild considering the car is only running on a 275 drag radial. To add insult the car also loses it's hood halfway down the track. It back out later in the day and made some passes but without the massive air.
Mark Arblaster had his WAR440 hardtop out at Sydney Dragway on the weekend to prepare for an attack on Drag Week. He managed a string of 8.6-second runs which is pretty stout for a 4000lb+ leaf spring car but a lifter failure at the end of the day damaged the cam and possibly any chance of the car making it to Drag Week. Bummer!
It's amazing what a difference a couple of blue stripes make. Imagine Steve Edsalls Blown XC ute without it's Cobra stripes? You can't can you - it just wouldn't be the same. Cobra all the way baby!
Mad Max was a cool movie but it's not Mel's acting ability that we love, it's the blown Falcon Coupe that he uses to mow down the bad guys. Supercharged Falcon Coupes will always have a special place in our hearts.
We hear alot from the import crowd about how shit the V8s are and how dinosaurs like that should be extinct, but after watching this R32 burnout, do you really think imports are better? He does okay but really I reckon you could do the same in a V6 Commodore.
Kynan Hall made the long haul over from Western Australia (That's just under 4000km) to Summernats for the Burnout Masters. It was a huge trip and Kynan went out for a practice session on Friday during burnout qualifying to acclimate himself with the tight Summernats pad. As you can see, he had no problems.
Ross Heasley delivers yet another stout qualifying effort at Avalon Speedway. The HQ Monaro runs a tough 350 Chev with a 6/71 and twin carbs and is always good for a show.
Summernats 25 burnout winner Warren Eustace shows us how the qualify for the finals in style - smoke out the pad and make the judges reach for their oxygen masks.
We've seen them both on the pad before and even at the same time but never together on the Summernats burnout pad - Peter and Debbie Gray both killing tyres at the same time at Summernats 25. As you can hear, the crowd loved it.
Jaccy Leigh is behind the wheel of this VK commodore and she was doing pretty well until something let go and it stopped turning the tyres. Later on she tried her luck in the wet t-shirt comp.
One of the most popular cars around at the moment is Mark's crazy blown big block powered HQ Monaro. Not only does it look awesome but he takes it everywhere and drives the pants off it. He shows his stuff in burnout qualifying at Summernats.
Mick Brasher is a certified psycho on the burnout pad, well that's the way it looks anyway even though Mick claims he's cool, calm and collected when he's behind the wheel. Whatever his state of mind we love watching him on the pad.
Usually this Holden Torana is running down the quarter. Not sure how fact but from memory it's a pretty quick machine. So it's unusual to see a dragstrip machine smoking it up on the burnout pad and for that we reckon it's pretty cool. Certainly sounds tough enhjough.
I've got a soft spot for these old Camaros, not sure why but I reckon they look pretty cool. Combinme one of these with a Gen3 v8 and you got a decent car. :)
There's no weight over the rear wheels of this little ute, which means it's gonna have a hard time blowing the treads but it look like it'd be fun the throw around the pad.
