Wow, I backed Cameron and was I wrong?

Nelson Drag Racing Support

Last month, we were approached by the local Drag Racing Association for support.
We have jumped on board with the club, (though we dont have a personal interest in the sport) and look forward to watching their progress. This year see’s a big investment going into their facility with new “real time” timing gear from the USA and a much upgraded facility.
We are always keen to support local people and sports in our region.
Nelson drag racing action this year will include 4 national rounds, so make some time to go out and see some of the countries top Drag Cars in action and support the locals with us.

VK SS Group A / Group C, Build

This Build is now fully fabricated and in primer. The engine bay and entire underside is finished and Painted.

All modifications to the body, panels, Group C Race components, engine and suspension are completed. The list of one off and modified parts, (in order for this vehicle to appear as close to how factory would be), is long and painstaking in execution.

I did not want this vehicle to look like a Hotrod or just another replica with a fibre glass body kit, so many hours have gone into each individual part modified or made, to ensure it is well designed, finished and fitted and compliments the overall look and performance of the build.

Adjustability was also a primary objective in order that the chassis and suspension can be “tuned” and the vehicle made to drive as well as a modern Holden or better.

Paint will start on 24th August, through to mid September so I am looking forward to the final stages of the build and loading up some pictures of the completed vehicle in a couple of months.
