While there may have been a couple expected bumps in the road in the lead-up to the inaugural Race Revolution, organiser Adam Drake couldn’t have been happier with how the half mile motorsport event ran on Saturday.

Drake, who ran the event alongside wife Angela, brought Race Revolution to the Gunnedah Airport after previously running a similar event in Cooma and he was a happy man on Monday morning.
“Perfect,” Drake said when asked how things went on the weekend. “It was absolutely brilliant. We’re stoked with how it went.”
After the success of Saturday, not only is the return of Race Revolution on the cards but Drake was thinking of making the half mile sprint a biannual event.
“Yes we will,” Drake told Fairfax Media when asked if Race Revolution would return in 2019.
“And we’re very seriously looking to do it twice.
“We’d bump this one back, maybe, to late October or early November and have the other one in late April or early May.
“That’s all pending conversation with council.”
Punters came through the gates throughout the day to see a range of vehicles punch their way down the runway.
They weren’t disappointed in the racing, either, with Manny Dalakakais clocking the fastest time of the day in his Jeep Cherokee which reached 300 km/h.
