Went down he the drags for a couple of pics.

New national record 5.86 in a Doorslammer. When will it stop.

Imagine sitting on this, gonads in the direct line of fire if something lets go!

Great pic as usual Justin

Had a couple of HRs that created as much smoke as that at times in their life, trouble was it came from the exhaust, not the tyres

I tried to ring you Justin to see if you scored any pics of the roll overs from Friday night, some pretty awesome stuff!

Supercharged outlaws nearly into the 5"s.

Zappias 6 consecutive high 5 second passes including a 5.88.

Judd's 5.86 backed up by a 5.90, new AUS record! the world record is 5.7? in the US.

Upton's shut down after the 1000 foot mark, he was on a 5.9? pass

Saparavich's new Chev Nova.

Nitro Top bike Parkers low 6 passes.

The quality of cars is just getting better and better.

Top fuel coming up in two weeks we already have 6 top fuels booked down and they are working on more.

Yes,
The Pro Mod (US version of Doorslammer) record for ET is now 5.73 and the speed record is 252mph (405kmh). The yanks have slightly different tech specs to our cars meaning the aussie cars have usually been faster (MPH) but slower in the ET department than the yanks, but with the money and R&D in the states, they have now jumped ahead. Our cars are world class though. Interestingly, the europeans also run Doorslammer/Pro Mod and their cars are running 6.00"s and 6.10's on pretty average tracks. Their Top Bikes have also gone deep into the fives, something we havent seen yet.
