Any uncertainty concerning the March Pro Series meeting at Sydney Dragway was removed today when newly appointed Sydney Dragway Chairman Mr Sam Sofi announced the meeting would go ahead as planned. Mr Sofi said the meeting would now be held on Friday March 18 and Saturday March 19.
The ANDRA Pro Series event featuring rounds of Top Doorslammer and Pro Stock will be the first major event to be held at the raceway since the new management structure was implemented. Mr Sofi said the overwhelming support that he had received from competitors, fans and sponsors towards staging the meeting had convinced him that cancelling the event was not an option.
Mr Sofi stated that new track sponsors for the event had been secured and, together with support and encouragement from the Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) and Drag Racing Australia Group Ltd (DRAG LTD), he believed that a new era was now evolving at the Sydney facility.
Mr Sofi added that we have also begun preparation for the Nitro Championships scheduled for May. I know this event will be equally successful. He went on to say he looks forward to meeting competitors and spectators at each event and welcoming them to Sydney Dragway.
