The weekend when the airstrips far from suitable for planes ;)
First weekend of December every year and followed in March the Tokoroa Drag day is never short of surprises. From standard daily drivers and motorbikes to full on drag cars it is defiantly a good day out and this one was no different.
What makes it exciting is that anyone can enter, its not expensive and you can do as many runs down the drag strip as you like. At the beginning of the day they take times to put the cars into their class and from there its all about having a go! And afterwards they do fun races for those that want to have a little challenge against a mate.
This time Michaels dad, Wayne entered the ute and while the weather was good managed to get 5 runs in before the rain started at about 3pm. If the rain hadn't come along when it did we probably would have been there a lot longer than we were! But here are a few pic’s from the day that we took-
Gotta love the matt black drag car, my friend Sarahs parents own this, her dad Ian is a regular at the Tok drags as well as Meremere with her mum Wendy following along in the tow car or on the side line with the camera.
I did of course find a favourite of the day, love the old school style of this HQ, nicely done with the interior in black and white leather and of course female driven. She could do a pretty good burnout too!
This bad boy was LOUD when it started up but I tell ya, when it took off I just about shat myself - it got even LOUDER.
Michaels friend Richard who was also in my last post from powercruise was there as well….
Check these out, driven by kids! Couldn’t of been much older than 12. They went pretty quick to I might add, no burnouts from these guys yet though.
‘Wasted Wages’ I think most car enthusiasts can relate lol
So that was the Tokoroa Drag Day. Fun for the whole family, come to the next one in March and have a go— and tell your friends the more people we get to come the bigger the success of the day.
