We have confirmed February 6 for Club members to participate in one of the regular public "Whoopass Wednesday" events at the Perth Motorplex, where you can run your street car down the drag strip to see how quickly you can cover the 400m. This particular event is designated as an 'Hour of Power' for BMWs so there will be plenty of other BMs for you to race against.

Go to http://www.motorplex.com.au/formula-tech-performance-waw-hour-of-power-february-6/to find out more about how the night is run and what you need to do but it's fairly simple - turn up with a roadworthy BMW car or bike, wear long sleeves and a helmet, and pay the half-price  $30 fee for some runs on the strip. Line up your friends to do the same so you can see who can "whoop" whose "ass", at least in a straight line.

This is the only way available for you to legally and safely go drag racing in your street car when the urge takes you.

Our friends at Auto Classic have assisted in organising the night by arranging the half-price cost and also offering a prize (a $100 BMW Merchandise voucher) for the Club Member with the best drag start reaction time (between 0.000 and 0.005 secs) on the night.

There is also a Burnout Competition that you can enter if you have some tyres you want to trash.
