Murray River Lakes and Coorong

Event
The 10th annual Street Machine Drag Challenge is Australia's toughest street car competition, returning for its biggest year from Wednesday 29 October to Sunday 2 November 2025.

This five-day motorsport adventure features more than 250 modified, street-registered cars that must race at a different drag strip each day and then drive hundreds of kilometres to the next track without trailers or support vehicles. It is the ultimate test of performance, reliability and endurance.

In 2025, the route spans South Australia and Victoria. The challenge begins on Wednesday at Dragway at The Bend, before heading to South Coast Raceway in Portland on Thursday. On Friday, competitors take on Heathcote Park Raceway, then head north to Mildura for Day Four at the Atlantic Oils Sunset Strip on Saturday. The grand finale takes place back at The Bend on Sunday 2 November.

Each stop promises a full day of racing action, while VIP Park-Up events at local venues give fans the chance to see cars up close, meet fellow enthusiasts and enjoy the atmosphere.

Whether you are a car fan or simply looking for an unforgettable day out, the Street Machine Drag Challenge delivers high-octane entertainment and genuine Australian car culture.
