A drag racing event held at Ruapuna in Christchurch.  Sadly I could not be there, CHCH is over 500km from me.  What I did manage to do however, was get some photos from a nice chap  (Graham a.k.a EFI_LC) who is on oldschool.co.nz, who did attend the event.  Here’s a brief selection of his photo’s here;

Thanks go out big-time to Graham for taking and sharing his pictures of the event and then allowing me to share them all with you.  Cheers Graham, much appreciated.

Though there’s not a massive amount of strip pictures, I assume because during those times he was actually on the strip himself, you get a pretty decent idea of what kind of car attends these events even just as spectators.  Muscle Car events of any description inevitably end up as a showcase for peoples predominantly Sunday drives, as can be seen;
