There will be a live stream this weekend , Saturday Australian time , from here in Sydney . This is a IHRA Australia run national series round .

Stream link :
https://play.ovo.com.au/live/3597
They may have limited streaming on Friday , have to access that via ovo or Sydney dragway facebook pages .

I think you need to open a free account to get the stream.

Event information :
http://www.sydneydragway.com.au/events/santo-s-summer-thunder-2019/

I will be running in the Super Street class , 10.00 - 12.99 DYO .

Weather looks to be like racing on the sun . There is a heatwave due this week , temps around 40 - 45 degrees celcius (100-110F) plus should be a bit humid . Oh well .

Good Luck and have fun.

Does anybody do a burn out in those temps? eek


Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
