Hi guys,
Our Drag Week style event Down Under is Drag Challenge, entered my sons 70 VG Valiant 4 door with one of my stroker big blocks.
5 months working on the car paid off, ran 9.87 @ 139 first track and stayed in the 9's for the whole 5 days towing a trailer 1000 miles, finished Runner Up in class, 235 tire Aspirated and took quickest MOPAR boogie
To get to the start of the event and back home we had to truck/trailer 2200 mile each way, had a blast.
will get some pics up up

Followed the event. Looks like a great event. Got to know most of the Aussies that have done DW.Neat to see more of these style events happening. Saw that Harry won the overall.Congrats on your finish
