A healthy crowd came out to Hidden Valley Drag Strip in near perfect weather to witness the opening round of the 2018 Track Championship season.

Competitor numbers were a little down due to some racers having last minute issues and others waiting on parts. It was pleasing to see a good turn out of motorcycles and also some new racers in the off street category that have well and truly got bitten by the drag racing bug.

The event ran smoothly and the racing was close in all brackets, the only downside to the event was Dieter Herrmann’s crash in the third round of Top Eliminator. Dieter’s nitrous equipped Camaro drifted out to the centre line then came around, contacting the wall at the finish line. Dieter emerged from the car under his own power and later went to hospital for a check and was found to have a broken rib.
