Held back on the 28th of September, 2008. Was the Alexandra Blossom Festival Drags, though I’ve only been once before in my brother’s 1973 Datsun 240Z, this year I managed to hitch a ride along in my friend Matt’s R32 GT-R (you’ll see it featured in a few photographs)
Q vs. Q
The day was beyond beautiful, the sky was fantastically blue, the only detriment to this of course was that the track (an airport runway) and the air temperature for optimum performance, suffered slightly. With that said though, Matt did manage a 13.5 in his first event on the drag strip. Which I thought was most definitely worth the 2.5 hour drive from Invercargill.
As is always the case with events in the South Island, there’s always a smattering of old school steel there, this day was no different.

Of course, with a smattering of retro and modern thrown in for good measure;
