Hell, we're happy if it drives back on the trailer at the end of the day let alone a 5 hr drive :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Some don't make the drive, hell, some struggle just to get the power down.

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......

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...??
