5+ hour drive between locations would be draining.

If anyone does go and have a look, and i hope some do.

DON'T..... expect close, side by side racing.

These events are quite unique, in so much, you have street registered cars doing Shit they were never designed to do.
Folks are gunna beat up on their cars like they stole them.
Ya break it, ya fix it and get going again.
No-one gets too concerned with cutting a decent light.
Some will even let the other car go, so if they end up sideways, they don't impede the other guys run.
Some will hang on the startline building boost whilst hanging off a transbrake.

Its all about, running the magic number you need in your bracket.
Then, doing any prep work required to hit the road.
Drag, drive, drag, drive and drag drive.
Its a true street car torture test.
Its all about finishing......

Is it a requirement to drive between tracks?
5+ hour could be interesting for some

Be sure to give Dave in his purple DC Automotive VY SS a cheer……. If it lasts . Only got it going a few days ago

Just watched the video…. He’s getting 9’s…. Won’t be happy with that, but I guess he’s still running it in

Wheely bars..
Any difference in a single bar to dual? Some I see (more overseas) have a single wheel/bar where others have 2 wheely bars... is it more stable, or no difference...??
