ABOUT DRAGMASTERS

V8s and Imports; the ultimate contest

Fram Autolite Dragway proudly announces the world exclusive fifth annual Dragmasters – the ultimate shootout between Japanese imports and old school American and Australian V8s on Saturday, 2^nd January 2010.  The fiercely contested match race attracts both the new generation import fraternity as well as the well established V8 crowd and is a positive approach to getting racing off the street and onto safely controlled, purpose-built drag strips such as Fram Autolite Dragway.

 Fram Autolite itself is a name synonymous with professional drag racing championships worldwide. The brand is highly regarded in the automotive industry and the professionalism parallels that of Fram Autolite Dragway - the best place to race since 1973. 

 The only race of its type in the world, Dragmasters is a highly competitive event that sees two teams of 18 cars; V8s versus Imports, go head to head over three rounds of racing. The V8s dominated for the first three years but the young guns set the dinosaurs on their ears last year when the Imports claimed victory for the first time.

Dragmasters 2010 sees the return of two of the sports toughest competitors – Glenn Suckling with his 7-second GTR Skyline is set to take on Reece Fish in his ’56 Chev. Both will be aiming to lead their team to victory and claim the Dragmasters title.

Feedback from the large and diverse crowds over the years is that this has been some of the best drag racing to be seen in New Zealand. The interaction of the crowd creates a very unique and enjoyable atmosphere that leaves everyone anticipating the next result.

 “The Dragmasters event is unique as it pits the young import car enthusiast against the traditional ‘die hard’ V8 enthusiast”, says Gary Bogaart, Track Manager, Fram Autolite Dragway. “It is a great family event as it appeals to both parents and teenagers alike.”

 In addition to the hotly contested match race and full fields of drag racing, there is also a burnout competition and car show.
