Drag Challenge Weekend 2020 Day One

Finally! We had a massive response to DCW with 160 paid up entries! 129 of those made it to Willowbank for day one of our three-day event. Inspired by Hot Rod Drag Week, Streeet Machine Drag Challenge Weekend pits man, woman and machine alone against the elements on road and track. No support vehicles allowed! After a big day racing in the head, the competitors headed of to Warwick Dragway via a very scenic, 250km route. Rock on!

Have to thank you hard working guys and gals at street machine for this fine video, it seems like forever since we have had such great viewing. Commiserations to those who have had to make an early exit from proceedings, and good luck to the rest of the field.

The Ben's love to drag race

[@STREETMACHINETV]

They do indeed

[@manitoublack]

Funny how none of the 'street GTR's" that run 8's or better never enter these endurance events ;)

[@davidriley7149]

10:43 may or may not be. Horses for courses. In all fairness, I’d love to see one or some come compete.

[@chetmanley9781]

because they’re all stuck in NSW, lol

[@davidriley7149]

@Robert Carlyon QLD is an exquisite specialty for roadworthiness.

[@mr33spitnbarz28]

😂😂😂 Enjoy the time whilst they aren’t there, because when they arrive you’ll all be wishing they never did.. #behumble

[@manitoublack]

@@mr33spitnbarz28 more competitors is always good for events

[@brendannunya77]

Great coverage, thanks for sharing! Love how you show a wide variety of cars/builds.

[@Jake_Hamlin]

Awesome event and the coverage/video is great guys, its on par (if not better) than the likes of 1320video in my opinion.

[@HL-hw6qp]

Love the daily coverage at every drag challenge event, whether it be this one or Drag Week US, etc. Keep up the good work legends!

[@leroybrown6946]

I'm keen to get my ford EL running and get down next year, it's a long drive from Darwin though

[@LobbyDaLobster]

Great coverage!

[@trevorhunter374]

[@mikeymasi]

Gidday mate, smokem up

[@Benjay1975]

Earplugs are required at these events, to block out the constant and relentless talking over the loud speakers

[@STREETMACHINETV]

It's better than dead silence, which is what we had at earlier event

[@7071t6]

OMG the Dodge ute with turbo 400, gone to smithereens ,wow why, maybe because it was a stock T400?

[@darrylvanrooy]

What happened to the D5N? That damage looked expensive and extensive at the same time.

[@junior4969]
