Unfortunately no strips in either Greece or Cyprus. Most drag race events are help in old airports... but traction sucks!!!!!

Ah right, I thought that about the traction when the Escort was smoking the tyers with drag spec tyers aswell Kinda makes the time more impressive

mate, forget about it. Our drivers are heros... Till now never had an accident...

check the following video from an old race...

a V8 3dr Sierra Vs a 1200++ V8 Lotus Esprit.

http://www.greekdragster.com/videos/..._openfinal.mpg

The Lotus spinned out of control, due to oil on the strip but the driver Fil, managed to hold the car...

well i must say, that they always have fire exhinguishers, fire trucks, ambulances and most of the times helicopter in case of an emergency...

However, we need a proper strip ASAP... the competition and cars are more demanding now... than couple of years ago...

The Lotus owner Fil, brought Jim Oddy's World record Pro modified C5 Corvette, but cannot bring it in Greece bc he will not ever race it (6.08sec car)... You lucky ones can see it at the Pod (i think he has it in a garage there...)
