Bairnsdale Dragway - Mick racing the Monaro - September 2, 2007

Drag racing anyone? Mick once a year takes the Monaro to Bairnsdale Dragway to it's annual drag meet. About an 1hr from Tyres we all got up early and took the trip to see the race.

A Holden Monaro is equilant to the North American Pontiac Firebird. It has a 501 in it and runs the mile in about 8 sec.

Mick easily took his first race.

Ready, set.... GO!

This was the final race. Looks like Mick is losing but he took it in the end.

Monaro, a racing legend.
