XMAS DRAG WARS & Dave Hadley Tyres SMOKEFEST Burnout Comp!

For many years, the Christmas drags have been a big favorite with both racers and fans - there was no exception when the racers and crowds turned to the typically sunny Masterton weather, and to witness loads of super close racing, with a large field of cars and bikes. The Dave Hadley Tyres SMOKEFEST was the best yet - a new judging format evening things up, and rewarding the best of the best.

Imports, bikinis, and bands!

They came, they fought, and they conquered! The best from the far east converged on the hot Wairarapa tarmac for the first meeting on the season. Some stout performances were squeezed from a large field of racers, from the street classes right through to the pro import ranks. Of course the bikini comp was a large draw card to all of the red-blooded males within a hundred mile radius, and the very lovely XXXXX (who happens to be one of the super-hot MMP Girls) took the top honors and was awarded the 'Miss MMP 2009/2010'.

Results available here

Test & Tune - all classes!

Another decent field of racers was present and accounted for for the first meeting for the masses, and although there were many rebuilt cars rumored to be appearing, only a small number of new race cars fronted to put them through their paces. Of those that did, there were some improvements evident as the day wore on, and although there were no group one cars present, there were still some hair-raising runs, with lots of close grudge racing matches sorting out the men from the boys.

What a way to start the season at Masterton Motorplex!
