DC DISCOURSE
THE Street Machine Drag Challenge
Members group was buzzing after the
completion of this year’s event. Group
member Robbie Lelliott asked previous
DC participants: ‘What’s all of your
thoughts on the week, people involved,
rated experiences, etc?’ The response
was emphatic!Laura Pendlebury – Best week ever;
when you don’t break your car.
Rob Thorpe – The people you meet,
the challenge of the event, the pride in
completing it, the places you go. There’s
nothing else you will do in your car like it.
Elvio Gonzalez – Better than sex!
Clive Polidano – The best car event I’ve
ever been involved in; an experience that
every car enthusiast would love.
Kris Allan – Was the best event I’ve
ever attended and to my amazement
was the best behaved. Didn’t witness
any competitors being dickheads on the
streets. Everyone there was competing
for the same reason. A week away with
mates with ya favourite toy and meeting
new mates with their toys...and seeing
who brung enuff.
Phil Edmondson – I’ve done DC twice
now. The first one I had issues with the car
from the first run on the first day ’til the last
run on the last day – lots of roadside stops,
lots of parts chasing. But everything else
about the event made up for it, and I still
loved it. This year the car was fantastic and
we had no real issues at all, and the whole
week was awesome. Even the torrentialrain at 2am on the way to Portland LOL.
As everyone else has said, there is nothing
else like it. 10/10; will do again.
Andrew Ricketts – Great f--king week,
enough said!!!
Glenburn Evans – It’s on my bucket list.
Geoff Clifford – If I had the cash I’d give
it a go. Looks like a lot of fun.
Michael Titmarsh – Our first attempt this
year, had a ball, even though we didn’t
finish. Broke a valve spring 180km out of
Adelaide did a bodge-up job and drove
it on seven cylinders on the final stretch,
then got 30km from AIR and looks like it’s
broken the camshaft. Still haven’t pulled it
apart yet. But we will be back for DC2018.
Dave Curtis – It’s a week away with a
genuine friend/colleague/brother/father/
etc. and you can mix with as many or few as
you wish. It’s a challenge to get there, make
each track daily, race, and make sure you
do it all again next day. Great week away.
The mateship of total likeminded guys is
incredible to witness first-hand. Thumbs
up to all involved. Bring on DC2018.
Matt Robbo – Best thing I’ve done in any
of our cars. A week of racing, countryside,
very friendly fellow racers, chaos and
laughs. Very well run, can’t wait already
for 2018.
Jay Chandler – Is it DC2018 yet?
Matthew Knightsbridge – When do we
go again?
Carly Dale – You have to be willing to
break your car or be roadside for hours,
but, of course, you don’t mind as you’re a
massive revhead!
