The first quarter mile drag race of the year, organized by the Fiji Car Club will be held this weekend.

Club President, Raizal Haniff says they are looking forward to a busy year ahead and close to 10 races are planned to be held over the next 8 months.

“We are very excited about this. We will try to improve on what we did last year. Last year we had 8 events. This year we are planning to have 10 events out of which we will have 7 quarter mile drag race. We have already confirmed 4 sponsors for the quarter mile drag race so it is a very encouraging sign for us. So we will look for the other three towards the end of the season.”

The drag race will be held at the Taunovo Bay Airstrip on Sunday.
