The postponement of the race which was earlier scheduled to be held on May 2 (Saturday) was due to the arrival of the brand new timing equipment from the United States.

"SIC's Drag Battle is the most prestigious event in the said competition in the country."

"There are an obvious jump in number of entries this season and SIC wants to ensure a top class system ready to handle the race," said SIC Media Manager Irwan A. Rahman. The growing interest in the sport has urged SIC to take the first proactive step of purchasing new timing equipment for the circuit's use.

"With the entries growing, the game is getting more serious for the front runners. Faulty readings from our machines will obvious affect the sport. The move of date is because the new system purchased will not arrive in time for the previous scheduled date (May 2)," added Irwan.

The drags are race on a 400m stretch at SIC's famous start/finish straight from the opposite direction (counter clockwise). SIC have also moved dates for other rounds in this season’s Drag Battle calendar.
