Funny where things take you. This weekend I find myself at a petrol head drag racing festival as support for my friends the Hacky Racers who we have hosted for FootFest at our place over the past five years. Live music by a Madonna tribute act. We watched a hare do a lap of our track earlier in the evening. Such a contrast of things!

A taste of what is going on at the meet at raceway.

Some more photos of today’s Hacky Racing. I got to drive a few myself and had a lot of fun, especially in the afternoon when the grass was wet after a shower and I did some drifting and a bit of spinning out.

The start of the ‘night’ race yesterday evening. The rain stopped just long enough for an evening race with lights on.

This is the main attraction here. Each race is pretty quick!

One of the more ludicrous vehicles I saw today. This is a frame grab from my video of it doing 157 mph

@drfootleg I've been involved in grassroots motorsports lately and it really is full of hackers & makers (fabrication, welding, mechanical engineering, etc).
