WHYALLA continues to enhance its reputation as the motor sport city of South Australia with another blockbuster event coming to town next month.
The Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Cars extravaganza will roar into Whyalla on Saturday, April 7 at the Steel City Drag Club track.
This event keeps the rubber rolling on a big few weeks in Whyalla when it comes to motor sport. The city is still humming from the Xtreme Powerfest #8 last month while the Steel City Drag Club, Whyalla Speedway Club and Whyalla Go Kart Club keep on providing top quality events and competition for motor fans.
The Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Cars will keep the pistons pumping in Whyalla with a show only ever seen in South Australia once before. We’re talking 4000hp nitro funny cars tearing up the Steel City Drag Club track.
Plus there will be Supercharged Outlaws, Top Sportsman, Super Sedan, Super Street, Muscle Cars and Junior Dragster. The Steel City Drag Clubs president Mark Kuhn said it is going to be a spectacular show of raw power.
"We only ever seen these sort of nitro cars in South Australia once before and this is the first time they’ve come to Whyalla," he said.
"We’re going to see nitro funny cars that are going to hit 200mph (320km/h) down the 200m track in under 4 seconds.
"There’ll be flames, noise, action and amazing show of brute power and excitement.
"They’re also bringing a nitro wheel stand car that will lift off down the track in an amazing sight."
The Aeroflow event is part of a national circuit of drag events. The event that’s coming to Whyalla is the same event they get in Melbourne, Sydney and right up to Cairns in Far North Queensland.
"It is the most spectacular show in drag racing," Mark said.
The Steel City Drag Club is hosting the event in partnership with Aeroflow. If you haven’t seen enough flames and fireworks on the track during the day, the Club is also putting on a fireworks spectacular to round out the evening.
Gates open for the family-friendly event at 10am on Saturday, April 7 with eliminations starting at 2pm and the nitro racing starting at 5pm.
