The Saturday night drag racing was always a big hit with the racer crowd, always in the same place, all the big players in the car scene came down for the street drags, what sets this meeting apart from meetings you would find anywhere else in the world is that the jap crowd mixed freely with the aussie and American muscle car groups, normally seen to be on different sides of the fence, raced with only friendly rivalry.

Daryl was new in town, but not new to cars, owning a R32 Nissan Skyline, he was easily in the higher echelon of car owners, recently moved from down the track to the city, he quickly found out about the racing, so the next available Saturday night, the purple Skyline, dubbed "Omega" headed down to the 'strip' near the wharf to test the water.

There was easily 50 cars lined up on each side, jap cars on one side, and v8's on the other, actual races didn't happen often, but when they did the whole strip stoped their various sound offs, burnouts and displays to see who could take out who.


"Hey man, saw your car at the shops, looks good, you gunna race?" a local asked only moments after Daryl stepped out of the car,
"Yeah, I'll give it a go." He replied, casual. Daryl received comments and thumbs up by everyone who passed him, it was only after 10 minutes, sitting on his bonnet that he got to see a race, a '66 mustang took on a late model commodore, and came second due to some serious traction trouble.


"That one was a bit slow." A female voice came from the other side of the bonnet, Daryl had been too captivated in the race to notice the girl sit down on the other side of his car,
"They get faster, you see that S15 over there," she said motioning to a stationary white Nissan Silvia, "once that gets started there's not a car that can trump it." Daryl looked across at the girl, "Well I guess I'll have to give it a go then wont I? he shot back.
"By the way, I'm Anne, yes im over 18 and yes, I am single." She smiled at him, "Just saving you time."
"Yeah, thanks," he turned; "Wanna ride with me when I race that S15?" Anne smiled and said, "Give me a second, I'll set it up, and yeah, I will ride with you."
