Just went and had a look at Dragtag (Indoor Drag Racing).
It's been on the news and on Beyond Tomorrow (Ch 7).
Based in Campbellfield, it's basically indoor drag racing, however they are setting up to do static driver training programs as well.

Check out the link, Drag Tag, and you'll get the jist of it.

I had a wander through the place this arvo and I can tell you it's amazing!!!

Whats the airflow like around the car when its on the dyno?
Would assume it would be pretty harsh environment on the cars heat wise?

Would be awsome to go try it out tho!

I Think YirriSS is right, there's a once off $500 fee to set the cars up with the hold down bracketry and set the computers up to the car.

I wouldnt be too worried abotu the airflow, i'm 99% sure that this would have been thought of already along with exhaust removals!

It would be something i;d love to do, but the bracketry etc makes it expensive for a once off or irregular go!

Oh nice :) You know i never thought about sussing the site out for prices :fool:

$200 once off for the setup isnt too bad i spose! Especially if you intend to go back often!

if you guys want to have a GMH night there let me no as we supply most of there tooling and so on, got about 30 free tickets at work if anyone wants them. This thing took years to make, have been down there a few nights when they had some serious street cars there for a promo night, 57 chevs and rods and so on. Great idea and works well.
cheers
