Side by side 1/4 mile drag racing with a twist whereby competitors progress to the startline with a 100 metre run in to the 1/4 mile start. A speed of 50mph was set for the max rolling speed measured across a 16 foot trap with the trap end the start of the 1/4.  It took competitors a few runs to get the entry speed right, going too fast meaning no speed recorded for that run, before accelerating hard at the start of the 1/4.

There were 3 car  classes,  2 bike and 1 scooter.

Best 3 speeds were added together to give a total.

In FWD Lewis Simpson, Honda Civic, came out on top with a total of 441.476.

RWD had Harry Moore, Toyota Supra,  take the honours with 420.443.
