Justin Robinson and Skidit retained their drag crown at this year’s performance car mania.
THREE days of powerskids, drag racing, burnouts and cruising the track at Victoria’s Winton Raceway: that’s Performance Car Mania in a nutshell.
The off-street drag competition is always a cracker. It is a flag-start, no-prep deal, with no namby-pamby cool-off periods for stinking-hot race cars to cool down between rounds. If you lose, you’re out. If you win, you go straight around to face another racer until there are none left.
