bending performance, Jason
Ghiller’s XD Falcon remained
a crowd favourite all week, a
year after the car’s debut at
DC ’16. Its big boosted Barra’s
output exceeds 800kW at the
wheels, and a slo-mo replay
of this car leaving the line is a
case study in getting the grunt

Challenge every time he’s
entered, a red hat for doing
a seven-second pass during
the competition had eluded
Quentin Feast. But this year
he snared his hat at Swan Hill
with a 7.99@174mph03: Lorenzo Gullotto threw
down at Drag Challenge in his
hard-charging VL, running into
the eights and finishing well
inside the Outright Top 10, all
on a stock-bottom-end L98

DRAG CHALLENGE EVER HELD
second pass of this year’s tour when he ran his LH down there in
[email protected]. With that pass he scored the coveted Seven-
Second Club trucker cap and extended his lead over Mark Drew,
Drewy again going second-quickest with an 8.146. Third for the
day was Adam Rogash with an 8.183, which moved him back into
fourth overall.
Swan Hill local Jarrod Wood, who had previously run a PB of 7.60
at the track, had to resort to powerskidding all the way down for his
8.208. He scored a piston on his final run, so as everyone else was
hitching up trailers and heading south for faraway Portland, he and his
team were pulling heads off and bunkering down for a long evening
on the tools.
We were now more than halfway through the toughest Drag
Challenge ever held, and the biggest challenge was yet to come.DAY THREE: TOP FIVE OUTRIGHT1 QUENTIN FEAST, HoldenLHTorana 2 1. 664
