The 2011 Street2Strip season kicked off yesterday with a huge turnout, at one stage the entry queue overlapping the race queue. As usual at these events I did more talking than shooting so there aren’t really any photos to speak of but I must give props to Pdubs (Blue RS) for running a 13.5 on street tyres and an unprepared track. It seemed to be the night for hot hatches with Golf 5 & 6 GTi’s, Civic Type R, Focus RS & ST, Fiesta ST, Audi S3 and Renault Megane Sport being represented

The day started interestingly with 4 traffic cop vehicles obstructing the entrance to Killarney while the where having a “chat” to one of the competitors

Saturday saw Killarney hosting a national drag racing event, with bikes running low 9’s and cars running in the 8’s it was epic. The weather played it’s part and the crowds came out to enjoy what has to be one of the best drag racing events in recent history. The day was not without incident with amongst other things one competitor managing to engaged NOS while staging on the start line, resulting in one hell of a bang under the hood 🙁

West Coast Motor Racing Club’s Saldanha drag racing event is one of those events you have to attend & with a bumper number of entries there was no way I was going to miss it this time around either. You can get all the results from the event at www.westcoastracing.co.za and you can check out all the photos in my gallery
Last Sunday saw the return of the quarter mile monsters after a short hiatus. The lack of competitors didn’t diminish the action as a number of cars managed low 10 second passes. The day was however marred by a number of the top cars suffering breakages, let’s hope they’re sorted for the next event on the 10th of October.
