| Fastest Car on Track was this monster from Thailand |
The following are the results of the BF Goodrich AMF AAM Open Drag Racing Championship round held on 16th October 2004 .
The figures and the actual experiences at the event show that although you need to have a fast car to win, sometimes it is not the fastest car that wins. In the ‘shoot-outs’ that take place between two cars at a time, drivers have to ‘time’ their take-offs to perfection as the ‘christmas tree’ starting lights move downwards from red to green.
 |
| Any Car can enter the drag, but this baby has a twin turbo engine under the hood. |
Fastest time of the day (FTD) for cars was achieved by Panya Aramrasmee of Thailand, with a Quarter-mile dash time of 9.099 seconds, driving an awesome Nissan 200 SX, while FTD for motorbikes was achieved by Kelvin Chia of Singapore using a Kawasaki ZX12R.
 |
| Cars run maximum power and minimum weight. Note the gouged out bonnet. |
Class A was won by Lim Lean Tiek of Singapore (Mitsubishi Evolution 6), with a best time of 9.507 seconds. Although Panya clocked a faster time in earlier runs, he lost by a nose to Lim in the final ‘shoot-out’.

| Once the cars are in position, the christmas tree lights up, and when it hits green, you fly! |
Class B honours went to Montre Boonyaratanagon of Thailand in a Mazda RX7 Turbo. Montre clocked a fastest time of 10.417 seconds, while Foong Yap Weng of Malaysia trailed him with 12.579 seconds. Third place went to Joshua Thiran of Malaysia in a Proton Satria Turbo. Joshua clocked 11.599 seconds.
 |
| Twin Turbo engines were a dime a dozen! |
In Class C, top honours went to Nattapol Aranyanark of Thailand, who competed in a Honda Civic EG-6, clocking a fast time of 12.627 seconds for the quarter mile dash. Second place was clinched by Malaysian Ching Chee Wah. Third place went to The Kian Boon of Singapore. All the winners in this class drove Honda Civic EG-6’s.
