Now this is what I call drag racing!

[The Goodz]

I know the great majority of you guys love watching drag racing, but to me its as exciting as watching the cricket, two cars in a straight line, trying over and over again for the sake of a tenth of a second. Boring as bat droppings.

I'm into a different type of drag racing, 4WD mud drag racing! Now that's exciting, all sorts of beasts battling it out in the mud from 1ltr 3cyl suzikis driven by 10 year olds, through to road registered 4WDs and the mega HP monster racers. With the exception of the road registered class, pretty much all of these things have either no exhaust or just straight pipes. So they're loud, and the V8s sound INCREDIBLE! Mostly big blocks and many run either boosted or on methanol, or both.

Out of the 927 photos I shot in the 5 hours I was there (a new record for me!) I cut them back to just 35. All the photos are below.

There was one very interesting beast that especially caught my eye... I dunno what chassis it was on, but it was cut down pretty short. It was running a 454 big block on methanol, over 700hp at the wheels apparently, this thing was FAST, and it covered half the crowd with mud on more than one occasion!
