  3. I attended this event and cannot praise the Drag-ens enough for putting this outstanding event on, it run like clockwork and was the best event I have ever attended here in Australia. Great pics by the way.....

  4. Im with Gary D - I ans some fellow club members were invited to this event and was'nt sure what to expect, so we made the 2500km round trip to find out. It was a BLAST and so very well run. The spirit of the day was just to participate although Id have liked it to be more competitive with cars in classes but for an inaugural event it was outstanding in a beautiful location with perfect weather ;)

    Here are some shared pics of cars, people and my Deuce roadster in action on the sand....credit to the photographers as well.

    Yup I was there and boy The Drag-ens HRC did a superb job on running the event. Great location,cold beer on tap and I couldn't fault it in any way.Even got to catch up with a bud from The Road Devils,Gino in his 30 coupe,whom I haven't seen for over 25 years since we moved to NZ. Well done Drag-ens you did good and see y'all again next year,,cheers

    Thought it was HEAVEN! Ah, wait...It's the boys in O-Z! What a turnout!

    Politics prevent such goings on here on the west coast any more, as witnessed by the guys here in Santa Maria...

    Money tight this year and no car ready but looks to be a great event to stay. Might see 100mph records like Pendine.
    Great to see so many early style cars together.

    I don't think you will see 100 mph on sand in an eighth mile. They were very careful not to call it "racing".

    A bit more sand than Wildwood, and a bit dryer than Pismo Beach. Looked like a great event.

    Fabulous.....:)

    Another great 'hot rods on a beach' event.

    Pendine Sands here in UK for the VHRA event might have the history, but you've definitely got the better scenery (and weather) :D:cool:
