I have heard some very bad reports on the drag tag setup.. damaging and blowing up cars.. and the owners not having anything to stand on(or drive) cos they wave the rights when they sign up for it..
One of the forums members use to work for them.. He had some good info.. i will try and chase up the thread.. Cheers, Nik

I had no idea what the hell the original post meant here. I thought he meant it was another drag track like calder.
Having gone to http://www.dragtag.com.au/ and investigated further, i finally understand what the hell he meant. I think the only way i'd go there would be if they paid me to advertise it for e-series owners :P |

Waaayyyyy too expensive; considering you can goto a drag track... Atleast if you goto the drag track you dont have to chop your arms and legs off to get a go!
$195? Drreeaammin

Yeh, sounds dodgey... $195 setup is still heaps for somthing that isnt accurate. You cant beat the real life drag stips (Calder and Heathcote for me)
Cheers Ben
