Drag Warz: Final Showdown Coverage…Part 3
Today is the last and final instalment of our Drag Warz: Final Showdown Coverage. At this point there really isn’t anything else to be said about the event that hasn’t been said before. In a nutshell it was a great turnout both for spectators and competitors, we have to tip our hats off to the guys at B.A.D.D for reviving the Drag Warz series with a new format of racing. We hope they keep this format of racing for next year.
