Just read KPM's quote: Heathcoate SA's new home for drag Racing.

It cost me around $2000 the time i ran at Heathcoate, Hell of alot of money and Km's for few hours. Maybe ok once a year for ya average SA.

Bet there are heaps of killer un-used cars sitting, waiting and wanting to be Raced..

Bloody Sad to See, to be honest!

By all accounts, major construction should be commencing mid year. Next club meeting is on the 25th of this month, hope to get an update on progress then.

Ok found some more, Not so much drag cars but some tough street cars at the drags. The yellow Cobra ran 9s or 10s form memory with a 460 big block. Thanks for looking

This is a fairly new page they have setup, and not all of the latest info is on there yet. Join the facebook group (there is a link on the above page) for up to date progress.

haha. I got a little on tape, he strolled through the burnout so I didnt think it was going to be a hard run so Murphys told me to stop taping. Then the Capri launched so hard pointing the nose sky high, and I missed it.
