Weekly Race 4 Real Report: February 15, 2017

[SydneyDragway]

Wednesday night Race 4 Real off-street meets continue to be one of the most popular events on the Sydney Dragway calendar and it’s quite easy to see why!

Here are some great performances from last week’s Race 4 Real at Sydney Dragway.


Top Holden of the Week



This tough LX Torana SS hatch was a sight to behold with those fat rear tyres, air cleaner poking out of the bonnet and of course, that bright blue paintjob. Managing a best run of 11.01 @ 127.86 MPH, this mighty Torana meant business.


Top Japanese of the Week



Despite being overshadowed by its curvier younger brother, the MK3 Toyota Supra possess just about as much potential. This clean, white example proved exactly that with an impressive best run of 10.24 @ 139.24 MPH.


Top Rotary of the Week



The first-gen RX7 captured hearts the world over, introducing many enthusiasts to the joys of rotary performance in a lightweight, nimble chassis. To this day, they continue to be a popular base for modification with this particular example running a best time of 11.53 @ 130.23 MPH.


Top European of the Week



Audi’s superwagon, the RS6, put on an impressive showing here at Sydney Dragway with a best time of 11.36 @ 124.42 MPH. Supercar performance in a handsome, practical wagon body? Yes please.


Top Ford of the Week



The MK1 Ford Escort marks the beginning of a long lineage of fast Fords, developing a well-deserved cult following. This black beauty showed up at Sydney Dragway looking immaculate and ran some impressive times to match.


Commentators Pick of the Week



The 180B isn’t a particularly common platform for Datsun modification like the 510 or the S30. This made it a pleasant surprise to see this blue example turn up and run a best time of 13.61 @ 108.42 MPH.


Race 4 Real is on every Wednesday night at Sydney Dragway, weather permitting. Keep it safe, legal and off the streets! Gates open at 4:30PM and racing starts at 6:00PM. Check our website for T&C’s and entry information.

Next Race 4 Real is this Wednesday, February 22. See you there!
