Default new western Sydney international dragway - best in world???

the opening is next week, i am racing the week after in the high tech and imports drag combat...

it is an awesome complex - wayyyy better than just using the main straight at Eastern Creeek (like we useed to)

but they say it is "best in the world"

what do you guys think?

most pics are links (they are big)

Looks good You'll just have to wait and see how it hooks, that's really the only thing that matters right? Let us know

in my only run there i pulled a 2.07 60 and 14.2 at 97 on a 'shakedown' run in my Integra...
