The green Torrie that carries the front left FOREVERRRRRR is awesome. Awesome to see Bobby John in his 57 run well. What a beast that is. Great vid guys, really appreciate the daily vids, The Bend looks immaculate

Must’ve cost you guys a fortune to get the real Batman out there doing interviews 😂

[@bubbafromeasternats]

I do it for the love hahaha

[@brushitoff503]

Epic stuff! Thanks Street Machine Crew!

[@ablokeinatroopyaustraliawide]

Thanks so much for doing the videos, time to get Bubba spinning the spanners in the carnage garage I reckon.

[@bubbafromeasternats]

[@dank5432]

Premo coverage as usual and good to see Bubba 🤙

[@bubbafromeasternats]

[@terrybagatella3898]

[@Jus..having..a..say..13]

That was such a great show .. best of luck racers keep out of that wall ..hope u keep filming it.. Have some fun..

[@ryandaniell4496]

Keep em coming lads. Hopefully the cameraman finds focus and you show times for all. Cheers

[@Jus..having..a..say..13]

I hear ya..

[@barrymartin3813]

Good job, boys n girls

[@vanslawson2329]

RC Box Club is awesome. I won my first one and subscribed to it. Waiting on the October Box.

[@vintagetractorsaustralia]

The Dickie seat in that Merc really finishes that car off perfect. Soooo cool

[@johanveer8201]

Top job getting the video out so quick, can't wait to see the action on Saturday. Silly question, what happened to the Carnage ute?

[@Eqium]

I so hope my car is finished to do the 2024 event, I put my rotating assembly in to get ballanced in late May and im still waiting for it

[@Jus..having..a..say..13]

Just reading comments what type of car have u got??

[@bigal878]

The Bend looks like a great facility; however, watching on the video the time boards seem too far away… Maybe it is better watching at the track in real time.

[@JestaBl1tz]

Everything at the bend is far away lol

[@Rowdy83]

The camera work on the start line capturing all of the passes was average at best! There's a lot of out of focus shots on the time boards and in-complete coverage of passes. Hopefully, this improves for the next round.

[@rockbiterhd]

Great job enjoy

[@jcr6548]

Simpleh loverly ! check that MPH some records in the right lane ? ha

[@Ricks408]

Fuck yeah Bois! All the Best for anyone involved in the event!

[@leighford6265]

Bubba your 1 weird cat!!!

[@bubbafromeasternats]

Thanx mate I try lol

[@ufowraith]

Dam scotty with a beared trim and hair cut makes me wanna go out and buy rubbers😁

[@stringybarkin]

You are a cunny funt Bubba, bend track looks sick!!! Just down the road too !!!

[@royferntorp]

This takes me back. I built a Capri back in the 70's with a thong-slapper in it. Couldn't get it to hook up. Bag of cement in the boot helped.

[@blrn54]

The track has everythibg going for it but having km on the timing boards is difficult to watch.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Agree that was bloody hard work trying to convert to mph every run.

[@simjuk4764]

Yep I agree. Sometimes showing 60ft and other times not???

[@justinbrown2093]

A big shout out to foxxs crash repairs

[@MrMrgcool]

Truly splendid event for all Australians to enjoy. its made the mutton pounder stand up like a wild and menacing satanic beast...

[@AA-ou8kl]

please wait for both timing screens not just the winner

[@warrenscarlett9302]

Bubba don’t brake Scotty’s Dunnydoor mate haha

[@bubbafromeasternats]

Lol 😂

[@prettyvacant2729]

Use the focus and show the times and you might have something here.

[@imn06c]

Why on earth would you display the speed in kph? That's just wrong.

[@warrenscarlett9302]

👍👍👍

[@MrBrooxy]

Can you interview Mark Drew and his Torana "crusty" it's a weapon

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It's in today's video

[@Tonyclifton-q4f]

great upload but damm if that background music dont half suck

[@aaronfischer7199]

The track looks super sticky. The black camaro launching to the sky three times was impressive.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

Were we watching the same video? The only thing I saw pull the wheels up was a dark green Ford Capri. I think there was a black one there too.

[@aaronfischer7199]

@@DodgyBrothersEngineering hi. It wasn't on the video. I was at the dragway yesterday.

[@DodgyBrothersEngineering]

@@aaronfischer7199 ahh OK well that makes more sense. From what I can see in the video it looks like they have tried to copy the WSID seating.

[@JAKE-FAQFPV-CVN747]

Haven’t read all the comments I’m not sure if it’s already been asked, but did Harry end up making a pass for day 1 fingers crossed and did corty submit a time come on HAULASS garage boys 💪🏻

[@STREETMACHINETV]

No he didn't

[@JAKE-FAQFPV-CVN747]

Bubba needs to be a permanent crew member of streetmachine (telfo hope your reading this) obviously it would be an event based thing as I’m pretty sure he runs his own fabrication business correct me if I’m wrong see you guys tomorrow at hardcore I’m just hoping the weather radar is wrong

[@Montman666]

Tell the Bend to change the Speed to miles not Kilometres 🤯 looks wrong

[@joshhamby294]

Is Bubba's looking slim ?

[@madrx2]

The timing boards in KMH are annoying.

[@arkhsm]

Drag racing should ALWAYS be in MPH first, that's just how it is. They could show kph second too, for novices !!

[@brentonk461ismylostaccount]

Get an HQ, before One Gets You

[@D101-e1s]

Give the camera guy the main job as presenter, talent is wasted behind the camera

[@brianodonnell1664]

Love this

[@davidbailey1721]

No coverage of Scotty’s VS ute…Makes me wonder if he ran out of time to get it done due to going in for a haircut and a beard trim.
