The 19th season of drag racing on the Sunshine Coast revs up next weekend with the Sunshine Coast Drag Racing Association (SCDRA) hosting the Late May Drag Race on Sunday, May 28.
Drag racing on the Sunshine Coast can be enjoyed by all and there are lots of daily driver vehicles on the Coast suitable for racing. Cars or trucks don’t necessarily have to be fast as the races at the Sechelt Airport are bracket racing.
In bracket racing, each driver estimates the time it will take to cross the finish line. If you’re closer to your estimated time than your opponent without going faster than your estimated time, you win. Each driver decides how fast they want to go down the track and, win or lose, it’s great fun.
There will be a motorcycle class and for racers who may just want to race their daily driver, Street Machine and Super Street are the perfect class. For serious racers there is the Hot Rod and Street Rod class.
Awards presentations will be immediately following the races. The Ted Meldrum Memorial Award will be presented to a Sunshine Coast high school student who demonstrates a mechanical aptitude, dedication to motorsport, volunteers in the community and is supportive of school programs.
Cash prizes are available for all race classes, best reaction time, fastest ET and best burnout. Racing begins at 9 a.m.
Bring your friends, chairs and sunscreen, and be prepared to have a good time. Please remember that pets aren’t permitted on the site.
