The Jap Drag Series took things to the level of true drag racing with Japanese Cars and it was clear that it wasn’t good enough to just turn up, run a decent time and head home with a trophy. Oh no! In fact the weekend’s show proved just how important being quick on the lights, having the power and keeping a consistent speed was.
