The annual Petrolhead Fathers’ Day Drags is the biggest and fastest street car meet on the local drag racing calendar and it’s all on for this Sunday (Sept 5) at the Fram Autolite Dragway, Meremere.

Hosted by the American Muscle Car Club, it’s always well run and has become a must attend event, not just for dads but for everyone. There’s also a Thrill Performance top 8 shootout and, of course, a burnout comp because who doesn’t dig a big smokey burnout on a Sunday afternoon?

The competition has really heated up over the last few years, and we know there are a few drivers who are going to fight hard for this year’s title.

If you attend only one drag race meet this year, the Fathers’ Day Drags should be it.

Entry is $20 with kids under 12 rolling in for free. Gates open from 7am and qualifying begins at 10am.
