Revved Up: Unleashing Mayhem and Muscle at the Marsh Rodders' Drag Day!

Get ready for an adrenaline-pumping ride as we take you to the heart of the action at Heathcote Park Raceway for the exhilarating Marsh Rodders' Drag Day! This event was an absolute blast, with the track buzzing with excitement as classic drag cars and hot rods roared to life.
Picture this: a picturesque central Victorian 1/4 mile track, transformed into a battleground of horsepower and speed. More than 40 participants descended upon this asphalt arena, each with their finely tuned machines, eager to go head-to-head and push their limits against both the clock and their buddies.
From a nimble mini that blazed through the course in a jaw-dropping 26 seconds to a vintage, methanol-chugging funny car that brought the heat, there was no shortage of entertainment for the drag racing aficionados in the crowd.
Watch in awe as the gassers defy gravity, lifting their front ends off the ground from the get-go. Others opted for a brute force approach, channeling sheer horsepower to send their rear bumpers scraping against the asphalt, leaving an indelible mark of their prowess.
But that's not all - the hot rodders strategically harnessed the power-to-weight ratio of their machines, gaining a competitive edge on the track. Meanwhile, the robust sedans and wagons relied on unadulterated horsepower to make their mark, showing us all that raw muscle still reigns supreme.
So, settle into your seat and prepare to be captivated by this day of pure, unbridled fun on the track. The Marsh Rodders' Drag Day at Heathcote Park Raceway is an experience you won't want to miss. Let's dive into the action and soak up the excitement!

It was a local club meet so the turnout was good by comparison but, since it wasn't a comp, racers just raced when they wanted to. Some were serious racers, others just taking their cruisers for a squirt down the track.

I really enjoyed this. Not sure if I've asked you before, but what camera/lens are you using. There's really nice bokeh on some of the closeup shots and the colour grading gives it a nice cinematic look. Keep up the good work.

Thanks mate. I use a couple of the Sony A7s and a variety of lenses for filming. I shot this one hand held but I'm not a fan of the finish. I think I'll go back to the gimbal.

@@GreasednGassed I've recently bought a Sony Alpha A7 IV and a Sony 35mm F1.8 lens which I've been using on a gimbal. I haven't done much work with it yet but I did film an American Graffiti themed cruise that we have here in the UK and was pleased with the results. I hope to find the time to edit it and post it on my channel in the coming weeks. Keep up the great work!

The track didn't seem to be prepared to good. Or was it just cold

[@GreasednGassed]

Most thought the track was good but it was cold most of the day. No top fuelers to warm the track up either. 😅
