Victorian Drag Boat Club. Australia's Fastest Boats
Welcome to the VDBC Drag Boat Racing Website
The Victorian Drag Boat Club has been drag boat racing since 1986 and caters for ALL types of boats from the family ski boat to the purpose-built capsule hydro’s capable of over 200mph!
Based at the National Water Sports Centre in Carrum, we have a state of the art dual lane timing system, much like our asphalt cousins. Our timing system allows for genuine E.T racing in all classes giving the racer much needed information on each run to allow each boat to be tuned to the conditions on the day. With E.T racing you are able to use any type of hull and engine combination to compete in your chosen bracket.
Racing generally starts at 10:30am and continues until late afternoon.
Our race days are a fun day for everyone. We provide a family friendly environment with free entry for kids under 16 and an onsite bar and barbeque providing catering at reasonable prices.
We are celebrating our 40th birthday early by offering group racing discounts in 2025.
Got a boat or know someone that does, contact Rowan 0405 134 332 for more information on racing with us.
Hope to see you soon on the "Liquid Quarter Mile".
