Now it's almost time for the racing to start, first up is the ausfags.

What did the Ausfags bring over this time?

>tfw you will never build a Cadillac 500 powered BOP compact gasser to run in Drag Week

I met Mr Larson recently at the Colorado super Chevy showdown. Dude is cool as fuck.

Here's one of em. Currently dead.

Not with that attitude, faggot.

Wait, that's an Ausfag entrant?
Gotta say, there's some interesting competitors this year...

I'm European, so I'm not only allowed, but actually expected to be realistically pessimistic.

>travels all the way from Straya to run
>brings a Murrikan car

I fucking love drag week

When they bringing out the stretchy truck?

>stretchy truck
Wat?

It doesn't drive very well anymore.

Congratulations, you got yourself crashed!

It's very hard to tell, but if you look closely, the truck in this picture has an issue.
The truck is upside down.

They're preparing it for Australian Drag Week.

Anyone know what Lutz brought this year?
Camaro, Bel Air or something new?

Civic hatch with nos

69 Camaro in the Unlimited class.

Can't even drive in a straighline without flipping ayyy

Lutz already made a pass in the pro mod Camaro, 6.19

Most overrated class. Gasser, hot rod and street machine da best.

They brought it last year sight unseen, got it working and did drag week. Pretty insane shit.

This year, they built up a big block chevy with twin turbos in Queensland, and brought that over and threw it in the car last week. Those turbos are so high because someone fucked up with a tape measure and the whole engine had to be raised.

Absolute madmen.

Is the BAMchero here this year?

RIP

That guy just ded

>only 12 posters
Is Veeky Forums really full of fucking stancefags?

I'd expect a bit more activity desu

most of Veeky Forums doesnt give a shit about drag racing and this is pretty damn boring for the most part

gotta admit some of the entries are interesting tho

>1995 Geo Tracker
>1989 Jeep Comanche
>1977 Toyota Landcruiser

When Brian was talking about the Magic Muffler dragster, I went and took a look at it. It's some picture all right.

Why the fuck would you watch it live when highlights are going to be up later with all the good shit?

Watching things live is fun.

I love the 3 door chevy wagon

It does mad wheelies and dosen't afraid of anything

I'm running a betting pool with my mates later in the week

Fastest car, fastest current staged etc. Did it last year and made about $40 from dozens of $1 bets

lol mustang can't go straight

>rip Dave Schroeder
That c2 was beyond cool. 6.85 is no joke either

And the Canadian Vette is done
>parachutes didn't deploy, went hard on the brakes, back wheels bounced, into the wall

Brutal crash, thankfully he was able to walk away from it

>why watch the entire movie when the trailer shows you all the good bits!

That really sucks, he even finally got his 6 second pass. Talk about crap luck.

Also, it was a genuine Corvette chassis as well. Ouch.

Good to see that Schroeder just walked away from that hit.

And it was the quickest Nitrous pass in Drag Week history.

>it was a genuine Corvette chassis as
I don't think it was this year, I think they were saying something about it being a twin beam frame to stiffen it up this year.

6.85 was full on unlimited turbo speed just a few years ago. Thats insane.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand Day 1 has ended.
>AMC Javelin finally went into the 6s with a 6.94
>Final run had a Mustang making it's first and only pass with a 9.85
