Sunday April 11 Dragracing - Loud, Fast but still in control!
Oh boy, this is going to be BAD! Yep, you motor sport nuts we are going somewhere we have never been before with the Club. At Sydney's Drag Racing Track near Eastern Creek it's Harley Davidson day. It's going to be fast and loud (but always in control) , we will be entering the our trusty Toyota Coaster 22 Seater in whatever category they will let us and see how much rubber we can burn in that big baby of a bus. (Of course, if you aren't really into motorsport you can still have a lot of fun in the interests of anthropological study of the motor sport subculture.) Don't be shy, tick that box and pack your earplugs- this one is going to smoke!
