Drag Racing Projects Galore

If you follow the drag racing scene, you’ll know the season is fast approaching. What you may not know however is what exactly the competitors are up to in the off season. Our forum has many of the country’s top drag racers on it, and many of them have been unveiling and discussing their projects on the forum before anywhere else. If you want to stay up to date with who’s doing what, current rules and regulations, or just to check out some exclusive behind the scenes pictures, head to the NZV8 forum and hit the drag racing button. Don’t be shy, join up, and have a chat to the guys, or post up your own projects.

This month there has been talk of Hartley Racing’s new Mustang, Gary Cawthra’s now tube framed and procharged Falcon, Clarke Fiddes’ long awaited Chev truck and much more. Join the action here
