Default Malta drag racing

Just got back from Malta watching the drag racing out there if your into your racing and old fords then its well worth a visit.

They definitely seam to have the fasted YB powered cars i've seen some running in to the low 7's im guessing this must take 1000-1200bhp to get these times and the pinto powered cars aren't far behind
couple of video links.

Always wanted to go out there looks awesome! They had a mk1 running mid 9's in the mid 90's Cossie powered. Then running mid 7's from yb power early 2000's. Very impressive they claim big power and back it up with the times.

I'm looking to go there next year on little holiday for a week or so, and see a bit of drag action while I'm there!

I went to Orlando last year and visited the drag strip there also, atmosphere there was awesome too, everyone was friendly and all sorts of machines there.

Cheers Paul

Apparently the November event is a good one to go to everyone turns the boost up as its the last one of the year before winter rebuilds.


Kevin Jenkins in the xe powered blue mk1 escort got a new PB of 8.45.
