DRAG RACER’S DREAM

Most readers of this magazine will at some stage have dreamed of touring the US, taking in the events and sights that the motherland of muscle has to offer — events such as Pomona Swap Meet, California Hot Rod Reunion, a round of NHRA, and the like — but the logistics of planning such a trip often make it all too hard. If you fall into this camp, then the upcoming Nitro Flashback USA Tour hosted by local drag racer Karl Boniface along with Craig ‘Fingrz’ Mullan will be right up your alley. Departing Auckland on October 14, the tour not only takes in the events above, but also gains unparalleled access into private collections and workshops along the way. Crammed into 17 days, the itinerary contains so many items that we’re begging the boss for time off so that we can head over ourselves — especially as the whole gig will set you back less than $6000 (plus expenses). If you’re interested in the chance of a lifetime, give Fingrz a call at Retro America on 07 574 3829 or email nz2usatours@gmail.com — but be warned, there’s only a few spots left.
