If you haven’t seen the behind the scenes documentary on what went into the track for the upcoming days prior to this event go and have a look!
The prep video has been months in the making – with alot of thought, effort and preparation behind the scenes (and we mean ALOT) to make this a truly unique and educational watch for anyone interested in learning just what it takes to turn a track from ‘ok’ to ‘elite’!
Seeing some of the W.A Radial Cars finally get the track they’ve been dreaming of here at the Perth Motorplex in Western Australia was a huge deal, and it’s definitely only just the beginning now that we’ve seen what is actually capable.
Check out the interviews with the experts – Justin, Lorenzo and Brendan to get the ins and outs of the weekend and what it took to put this educational documentary together.

One of the cars we wanted to see hit our freshly prepped track was this one, and the proof is definitely in the pudding regarding was it worth all the effort and time in the lead up to this event.
Mumbo got right back to where it last left off blasting deep into the 7’s, with a few adjustments having to be made throughout the 2 days the car responded well with Kevin pedalling the car as it tried to take flight on a couple of spicy passes!
Kevin, who’s starred in just about every drag racing video on our channel has probably done more laps of the dragstrip than most people and has been campaigning Mumbo for a few seasons now, a hugely driven person who always aims to push the car each round to go faster and faster. With Mike in charge of the tune up, the car has continued to smash it’s own PB’s time and time again for both ET and MPH.
Check out Mumbo in action as it continues the pursuit of that ultimate PB; the 6 second slip, it was right there – again!
