DRAG RACING CHALLENGE#3 – BEWARE OF THE RED SUPRA!

The Supligen Drag Racing Challenge series needs no introduction. Two scrumptious Rounds have sped by and like sharks after sniffing blood, fans are jostling, in impatient anticipation, to be the first to take a bite of what is on offer on Sunday at Vernamfield in solar-powered Clarendon!

On Sunday, July 24th, speed will take center stage and drag racing maestros will direct their finely tuned machines, grabbing gears in the process, while seeking to confirm the victory that destiny earmarked!

Test and Tune can be compared to a movie trailer. It is indeed a preview of an adrenaline-packed event which will unfold in the future. Sunday, July 17th was the preview. Drag racers are accustomed to being treated like VIPs at a Shabba Ranks-hosted party. They are spoilt, without apology, by the NDRC. But, they are fully aware that in order to collect the prize-winning ‘treats’, their machines must successfully recite speed’s stirring poem along the 1320!

Sunday July 24th is the future! And if the ‘monsters’ that rolled out for the preview did nothing else, they excelled at coercing the jubilant fans who were present, that missing Drag Racing Challenge #3 was not a viable option!

Two machines will be revealed.

In an invisible laboratory, two yet to be conceived nerds are exploring the relationship between the colour red and speed! If the Jamaican experience is accessed, we can locate numerous machines which bear the hue (red) and they are simply too fast for the naked eye! They can only be seen when your eyes are fully clothed! But that can be discussed at a later date.

At Test and Tune, like the summer sun at Hellshire, at 1:05 pm on any given Sunday, these machines shone with relentless brilliance!

Say Supra, but think SUPER! This was then.

Modifications have been completed and with limitless power at the right boot Mr. Manley was forced to access inspiration. A solid 10 seconds pass on the first attempt!

This is now.

A possible confrontation with this beast? Its owner/slash driver was giving support. Was he trying to discover weaknesses in the Red machines arsenal? Spy Games!

Did you know that this demon resides within a Ford-built platform?

When this machine snarls approaching the ‘tree’ Vernamfield comes alive! This machine, which is built by its owner, can only be described as an overwhelming crowd favorite! The machine, like A T20 warrior, slapped 11 seconds for six, repeatedly!

Beware of the red Supra. It will be on the prowl at Vernamfield on Sunday. All the other ridiculously fast machines will also be in the building! Just in case you were not informed – Drag Racing Challenge #3 – Vernamfield – July 24th. You will be branded and marked insane if you are absent!
