Please be aware that I do not intend to be
Bias toward and make of race car or bike. If
this site
comes across as being impartial, that is
not my intention and I apologise.
Still Under Construction
In the beginning there were no
drag strips. Well that was the case here anyhow.
Of course
there was the back road 1/4miles but the police didn't like that to much
and there was no where for anyone to go to drag race safely and under controlled conditions.
Now this was quite disappointing
as Warwick is home to many devoted rev heads which often
made
the long trek to Willowbank. On top of that they
were often harassed by the
local constabulary.
See young clowns would
run a muck on the streets
and the police would get wind of this, coming
looking
for the hottest cars
out and about and
bingo, "Show us ya licence Sonny".
Which brings me to the first
lot of photo's. A few smart cookies put there revved
up heads
together and started the Warwick District Drag Racing Assoc.
and thought, lets have a legal
on street drag race meet to to test the interest.
Well as it turned out the
interest well there
and this was a huge success as streeters came from far and wide to race. Below are a few of the
cars
that raced during the infant stage of the club.
EAST STREET DRAGS
Then after many years of
hard work, lots of donations both time and
materials, came the Warwick
Dragways 1/8 mile drag strip. The many
delays due to money, rain,
labour was a thorn in the side of the club as
everyone new the potential
of the track. So with no further a due, I give
you all the action of
Warwick Dragway.
