Smoke billows from the rear wheels of the Bandag Bullet, one of the world’s fastest racing drag trucks, in a tyre burnout demonstration at Sockburn yesterday. At the wheel is Frank Gaffiero, of Australia, who owns the twin VB-powered racer in partnership with his brother, Charlie Gaffiero. The truck, capable of 300km/h, is on a seven-week tour of New Zealand. It gave a public demonstration of tyre burnouts in the Christchurch Transport Board yard last evening. -Photograph by JULIANNE MYERS-POULSEN
