Default Sa off street drags

Is there any off street drag racing in Sa. I only have a stock fg but would love to give it hell on the track and get a time before the mods eventually start.

haha. Hasn't been for like 10 years mate. Most of us enthusiasts have been lobbying and trying to get AIR open again in Virginia. Only recently has there been reports of a group of investors looking to build something in Murray Bridge. But absolute bupkiss in the metro area. There is an 1/8 mile track in Whyalla, Waikerie and if your keen the nearest 1/4 mile track is in Heathcote in Vic which is a good 7-8hour trek.

Here is the website for potential racetrack as mentioned.

Yeh thought that was the case. Hopefully it all gets up and running and Sa can race again.

There still isn't any racing at A.I.R until a race has been run at A.I.R. Track mantainence and ANDRA inspection still to be completed.

Love that all the right homework and PR has been done by RacingONN before blowing their trumpet, so looks hopefull for a return to A.I.R.
