Carline Muffler Summernationals

[2rismo]

Okay - This is for all you SAU drag racers that attend Street Meetings and want to step it up a bit and compete with the big guns of ANDRA Championship Drag Racing.

The Carline Mufflers Summernationals is the first event of the season in the Australian Drag Racing Series (ADRS). It showcases the best of Aussie drag racing cars and drivers but for the majority of SAU, (street meeting attendees) it offers a great opportunity to race in a structured and competitive environment.

I've raced at 3 or 4 meets that run in this way and it is really intense and pretty different to regular street meets. The track is ALWAYS better prepped, the day(s) run more smoothly and the cars are INCREDIBLE.

Fortunately for the majority of us, these events offer a Super Street (S/ST) class for vehicles running 11.00 - 12.99 seconds.

I can tell you that the quality of racing you see is 100 times better at one of these big events than at ANY other meeting and you don't get the smell of Nitro-Methane anywhere else! If you're even REMOTELY interested, please pm or email me ([email protected]) so we can make sure the SAU crew are pitted together.

Below is some info taken straight from the WSID site about this event. Entries close on January 28th so make sure you're quick if you want to enter.

Hope to see you in the other lane in the final,

Adrian
