The ANDRA Board would like to officially announce that very positive negotiations have taken place with the DRAG Limited Board and agreement has been achieved to consolidate the management, marketing, and funding of our sport under the one banner of "Australian National Drag Racing Association Limited"
The ANDRA Board would like to acknowledge the positive work of the Willowbank Raceway, Sydney Dragway and Perth Motorplex with regards to;
- Providing world-class venues.
- Developing the Pro Series Drag Racing brand that has seen the sport reach its highest profile level ever in the market place.
- Created a solid foundation for the commercialisation of the sport.
- Developing world class, high definition TV production levels.
- Keeping the sport afloat during the global financial crisis and the worst weather conditions experienced in decades.
ANDRA will now continue to build on these strong foundations and will work with all stakeholders to achieve ongoing financial sustainability, new competition formats, growth in our membership and a stronger presence in the Australian media.
In October, ANDRA will be conducting a major drag racing summit in order that it can provide a vehicle for member input into the future growth and development of our sport. More information about the Summit will be made available soon.
The DRAG Limited member holdings are all being brought back in house which will result in ANDRA taking over the complete management of the Pro Series.
The ANDRA Board would also like to thank all the shareholders & stakeholders for their continued comments and support. The input we continually receive is playing a major part in the remodelling of ANDRA and the future of our beloved sport.
