2018 Hidden Valley Drag Racing season kicked off on last weekend with the annual test and tune/street meeting combination.

Round three of the Atura Blacktown NSW Championship Series was a little wind blown – well a lot. But the racers and officials persisted in what was a long day for the well deserved winners.

Willowbank Raceway was a hive of activity across the weekend as Jet Car Thunder delivered another adrenaline-fueled night to motorsport fans on Saturday while Street Machine Magazine brought their Drag Challenge Weekend to play as well.

Workshop Wars presented by Gulf Western is a new initiative from Sydney Dragway which spices up their Race 4 Real street meets with some of Sydney’s quickest street cars going head to head. 

The Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Car series made its first visit to Steel City Raceway in Whyalla, South Australia and the 4000 horsepower nitro coupes put on an amazing show for the packed venue.

The second round of the Atura NSW Championship Series was going along beautifully until an unexpected storm cell ruined everyone’s day.

The Honeywell Garrett Sydney Jamboree, presented by Tuners Edge will go down in history for a number of reasons. With temperatures at Sydney Dragway nudging 38 degrees, it may have been one of the hottest J-Days on record, making the track surface tricky to handle during the early sessions of qualifying, and power levels were certainly down for most of the day for those who didn’t have ice in their intercoolers.
