Some photos from the last event

Completing Street Machine Drag Challenge is the automotive equivalent of climbing Mt Everest; a personal challenge that will put you, your mates and your car to a test that most folks would never dream of attempting. It is also the most fun you can have on four wheels! Anyone with a tough street car can get involved in DC. And we keep the rules and regulations to a minimum, which means that racers have the freedom to build and race just about any combination of car they can dream up!

Frequently Asked Questions

You’ve got questions. Fire away, we love talking about all kinds of vehicles. But first these are questions we get all the time. For more information, please refer to our PDS.

We know you trust the people you let drive your vehicles. That’s why our Declared Driver policy only covers the approved people who’ll get behind the wheel. It gives you a greater peace of mind and a better price.

Enthusiasts make everything better. So we make sure modified vehicles still get the coverage they deserve. To be covered, simply disclose all the modifications you’ve made. If they meet Australian Design Rules (ADRs) and/or the Australian Vehicle Standards Rules (AVSR) of your State or Territory of Australia, then we’re all good!

If it’s a total loss, and it’s that precious to you, you don’t have to lose everything. If it’s over 30 years old, salvage rights are automatically included in your policy. If your vehicle is 15 years old or more, the choice is yours – salvage rights are optional. Check out the exact details in the Policy Disclosure Statement.

Real people, real Australian’s, real motor enthusiasts. They can handle any issues or claims via phone or email. They’re on-call Monday to Friday between 9am-5pm AEST. Or if you’re into DIY, download a claims form from our website and off you go.
