It’s been a while since ‘DRAC’ organized a drag event by themselves here in Curacao; 23 years to be more precise! The organization, which majority consist of race drivers was more in the background in the past decades. This year they decided to take the wheel once again, organizing race events on the Curacao International Raceway Rondeklip. The Best Of The Best Autoshow was not only to promote the upcoming event and give the Motorsport world on the island a boost. It was also an opportunity to present themself as an event promotor\u00a0and show the world their brand new uniform and logo.<\/p>\n

The show allowed the public to admire some of the local drag cars and bikes and get a sneak peek of the upcoming races in the first week of October. Local drivers got the opportunity to register themselves and let the competition knows that they are ready!<\/p>\n

On display, there were many bikes to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
