Nitro Thunder hits Sydney this week: WIN 2 tickets thanks to Mariani Motorsport
It’s that time of year again. The smell of burning fuel and sticky tyres will take over Western Sydney International Dragway as the Nitro Thunder event takes hold.
This year, Mark Mariani will defend his event title as winner of the 2016 400 Thunder Professional Drag Racing Series.
Mariani drives a 10,000hp dragster that moves from a standing start over a quarter-mile drag race in just 4.69 seconds. To put that into context, it takes a Bugatti Veyron a little over 10 seconds to cover the same distance of around 400m.
By the time it crosses the finish line, it is travelling at 500km/h and at the start line, Mark will hit close to 8g as the dragster accelerates, only to be topped by a deceleration force of up to 9g as the parachute fires.
The Gulf Western Oils Nitro Thunder event kicks off this Friday May 5 at Western Sydney International Dragway. Saturday is the main event, with a test session kicking off at 11AM.
Tickets start from $20 for an adult and can be purchased via the Nitro Thunder website.
If you’d like to attend the event, we’re giving away two adult tickets for Saturday May 6 valued at $80.
