This week I delayed posting just in case something exciting happened. Actually today I visited MOTAT a museum of sorts of trains, automobiles and aircraft. However the editing process has yet to be undertaken so I am bringing you an event out of the archives. The Fathers Day Drags held in Meremere on the 1st of September 2013. This was the first event I attended after my return to New Zealand.
coincidently enough I was reading a Hot Rod magazine from 2001 just yesterday covering the Fathers Day Drags from that year. Not much has changed. Still looks the same, similar people and familiar cars.
The event is an all day drag show. Multiple cars face off against each other down the drag strip to find out who has the fastest car. There are a wide variety of vehicles to see during the day and also a burnout competition between the qualifying races and the finals.
You can take in a picnic and sit on the stands or on the grass and enjoy a sunny day out. But be sure to bring some warm clothes and even some sunblock even though its only spring.
Lets have a look at some pictures and some YouTube clips:
That's another post for this week. Next week I will bring you MOTAT and I will probably head over to another events center to see the wrestling. I hope the lighting is better so I can attempt to get some better shots of the live action!
I cooked up a little video about gym routines this week also. I posted it on both of my channels so if you are interested in routine breaking exercises for the gym here it is:
Until then enjoy what holidays you may have. I may even head out to the beach and a little village (that I was supposed to blog about but every time I intend to go it rains...). Until then have a great week! ^^
