Drag Challenge

Completing Street Machine Drag Challenge is the automotive equivalent of climbing Mt Everest; a personal challenge that will put you, your mates and your car to a test that most folks would never dream of attempting. It is also the most fun you can have on four wheels! Anyone with a tough street car can get involved in DC. And we keep the rules and regulations to a minimum, which means that racers have the freedom to build and race just about any combination of car they can dream up!
