DRAG CHALLENGE#1 – ONE DAY IS NOT ENOUGH! PART 2

Author : cmunroe

What do the following machines have in common – Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4, Ferrari FF, Aston Martin One-77, Brabus G63 AMG, Bugatti Veyron, McLaren MP4-12C, Audi R8 and a Nissan GT-RS.  I could allow you to guess repeatedly, offer a reward of a million dollars for the correct answer and you would retire frustrated and winless!

I will allow my kind-gene to prevail. The aforementioned machines all reside in a fleet that is used by the Police in Dubai to cruise the sand and ensure that their citizens enjoy safety and security! Suddenly being a Police officer in the Middle East appears rather enticing!

NDRC

If you were given the opportunity to plan your version of the perfect day, what would you include and what would you exclude. If you are a drag racing fan you can sidestep the planning portfolio and summon the NDRC. The NDRC’s resume confirms that the outfit has mastered the art of planning perfect days!

Therefore, all that is required of you, is your presence at a Supligen Drag Challenge event. On March 20, 2016, the Perfect Day road-show appeared at Vernamfield and fans expressed their delight by frolicking recklessly while under the influence of jubilation!

As I walked from the machine-laden parking lot/paddock towards the announcer’s tent my ears got lost in a rapidly expanding blue hole. A blue hole which thrilled visitors with the vibrant, cascading sound of pistons colliding with spark, fuel and air.

The harmonious notes met, a report was commissioned and a recommendation accepted that fans should not depart from Veramfield until they were immensely entertained.

When I arrived at the tent it was obvious that the competitors and their machines read, understood and choose to enact the recommendation which appeared in the report. Choose a class 16, 15, 14, 13, 12, 11 seconds – the confrontations on-track were fierce. They were brutal.

The battles were images of firefights taken from Seal Team 6 missions – IEDs were everywhere and unsuspecting machines were obliterated by superior beings of speed! And based on the time and the schedule,the semifinals and finals for each class were in the distant future. Drag Challenge #1 – paradise!
