Fram Autolite Dragway proudly announces world-renowned car racing professional Greg Murphy is actively supporting the race facility, in particular the Night Speed Drag Wars and Winter Drag Wars, which provide a controlled environment by taking racing off the streets.
Fram Autolite Dragway provide a safe outlet for young drivers to explore the performance of their vehicles, taking away the risks associated with breaking the law on public roads and endangering their lives and the lives of others.
Murphy states: “As it is proven time and time again, a motor vehicle can be a deadly weapon, and accidents do happen, but I believe that if young drivers had the chance to experience some basic skills training based around understanding the dynamics and limitations of cars they would be better prepared and may think twice about some of the poor decisions they make and therefore reduce the risk of becoming a statistic.
The ‘Boy Racer’ issue is a combination of the problem outlined above, the lack of deterrents and lack of respect for other road users and young people just being young people.
The team from Fram Autolite Dragway are providing these drivers with a controlled safe environment to explore the performance of their vehicles, taking away the risks associated with breaking the law on public roads.” New Zealand currently has the worst road crash death rate per head of capita for 15-19 year olds in the OECD. By enabling young drivers to respect the streets and other road users, hopefully we can help decrease this statistic”, says Gary Bogaart, Track Manager, Fram Autolite Dragway.
States Murphy, “If we can get these young drivers to enjoy their cars and do so in a safe environment, then everyone is a winner. If you race on the road, you’re a bloody idiot!”
