An Aussie View Of Drag Week From Bristol – Get The Insight That They Had

With the allure of driving highly modified cars that haul the mail by the ton across the countryside with no hassle from the cops (so long as you don’t do stupid things along the way), it’s no wonder why so many Australians cross the pond to enjoy some fun on Drag Week, For a while now there’ve been a few that have shown up but for 2018 it seemed like a whole fleet of our gearhead friends from across the world decided to make the migration and have some fun on the tour of the Southeast. We knew some where coming no matter what, including Harry Haig and that radical barn-find Chevelle and John Farone and his monster Valiant Charger, but there are others, like Jaime Farmer, who had to borrow a street-style four-eye Fox Mustang after his car wound up stuck at customs, and Ben Neal, who was ripping around with the Barra-swapped Toyota Cresta that is a Mighty Car Mods build. This catch-up from Street Machine finds the Aussies at Bristol Dragway in Tennessee for Day Four of Drag Week, as they feel the strain of the event, fix the carnage, and try to run in the heat of the day.

    You probably did not know 4 cars got impounded as some nitrous still in the tanks when shipped so Home Land Security got involved and cars still not released. The one that was not got put in a double container when forwarder decided to ship double to save costs. Her Commodore is still he and she has gone back to Australia to wait for things to get finished. She consoled herself filling suitcases of part at Summit and taking back to Oz.

    I know from personal experience the nonsense the Police put people through down there and I was not driving. Everybody at Summernats I talked to was very jealous we could drive almost anything on roads here is States.

    How many extra could have been on Drag Week that we do not know about?
