Thanks to the tireless folks at Drag Photos, check out this action from the first Melbourne Jamboree at the revamped Calder Park.

On the weekend of October 17th and 18th another very successful event was run at Warwick Dragway. This time, it was their annual showpiece, Dragfest, an event which has been running for over 10 years and attracts racers from as far afield as Melbourne and North Queensland.

The penultimate round of Willowbank Raceway’s Queensland Drag Racing Championship was completed last weekend with racers battling for the last remaining points to make an impact on their championship title chase.

Australia’s street car scene has really taken off in the last few years thanks to the promotion of the APSA – check out their last championship round from Willowbank in pictures.
