it's been over ten years since I participated as a trunk monkey - what is the current feeling towards spectators observing the entire event?

I have only been twice so I am sure others would know better. But as long as you are just watching / hanging out it should not be a problem. No mules / support / help from spectators. I would bet if you're not hanging out with someone who is top 3 in the class no one will even notice.

Sooo has anyone that was registered for DW2020 received an email to pre-register yet?

thanks for the post but I have all that info from the DW page. I'm just wondering if anyone has gotten the re-register e-mail., the month is 1/2 way over..lol I'm just impatient to get this thing going!

you should know by now that drag week stuff happens when it happens....getting impatient won't get you anywhere.

When it happens, the internet will light up with the info immediately. you won't be able to miss it.

There are a lot of people itching to do a week of drag racing. After last year's Drag Challenge (Australia's Drag Week) didn't happen this years event sold out in 6 hours. This is the first time Drag Challenge will have a full field since it started in 2014. It was also Good Friday, a public holiday in Australia, that it the event went on sale catching a few off guard missing the boat.

Agree this might be the first time, RW 1.0, RW 2.0, Drag Week and Drag Challenge all will be fully subscribed.

I am still counting on some no shows but might not have a vehicle capable of either 10.00@135 (Street Machine) but my daily driver could get into 13.00 and 12.00 Index at RW 1.0 or 2.0

We shall see

having pre registration sold out, and having a full field, are two different things. Drag Week has never had a full field, even though the pre registration 400 entries have sold out for several years. They never have 400 cars show up to fill all the spots.
