#KuwaitMile took place last weekend, both Friday and Saturday, with over 300 racers participating in different categories, including stock and modified vehicles, both 6 and 8 cylinders.

Unfortunately day one has seen 2 accidents, but there were no injuries. A lot of lessons learned, and the setup was changed for the second day which witnessed no accidents.
The road isn’t really for drag racing, it was slippery for stock cars, for modified vehicles it was all about the driver’s control.

I’ve taken over 1000 shots in the event for those looking for their photographs for Friday, i’ve shot all the racers after the first Corvette Accident until the end of the day and I would send a link of the photograph via whatsapp and take requests via instagram in @its965
So, either post your requests in the comments section here, or through the instagram photo via DM.
