Has anyone ever considered setting up an 1/8th mile drag strip/competition in Aus??
Would a graded dirt track be ok?
Is anyone interested in this style of riding??

was actually thinking the same thing when i was at the drags on wed night, i wonder whether places like WSID would allow quads.

there are plenty of parts available to build a monster drag bike.

perhaps somewhere flat and sandy would be a good start

Karratha Dirt Drags
had just over 100 competitors last year
about 12 or 13 quads
missus actually came second on my Quad
YFZ probably thought it was missing a pilot with her riding it
small town probably 13 or 14 thousand people
we had over 2000 spectators,,,
the event went off
event class's from memory
quads
road bikes
postie bike
dirt bikes
sand draggers
2 wd cars
4wd cars
Burn-out comp
Holden red motor rev to destruction,, should've seen the thing, it was possessed, would not die, flames , smoke, still crankin with a huge hole in the side
crowd was going berserko
Live band was shite "Ride the Melon"

.

ok, lets organise something then.


I'll throw a date out there, how bout Sunday September 10th, any other events on then?

1/8th mile course

Depending on how many quads turn up then perhaps we'll run a couple of classes (2-stroke 250cc and 450 4-stroke together, Big bore (up to 700cc 4-stroke and 350cc 2-stroke), and a open class)

Who's keen?

any suggestions
