November 29 sees the celebration of the Melbourne Drag Racing Club’s 40th Anniversary.

In recognition of this milestone the MDRC have compiled a book commemorating the occasion highlighting the rich 40-year existence of the club with numerous photos of past and present members.

A day after the season finale in Pomona, GEICO/Lucas Oil Top Fuel rookie Richie Crampton was named the NHRA Road to the Future Award recipient during Monday night's NHRA Awards Ceremony.

Richie Crampton and Rapisarda Autosport International reached the second round while newly crowned NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car Champion Steve Harker claimed his fifth National event win in row.

Rapisarda Autosport International have yet to confirm plans to unleash Gus Ussia- Presley at the final round of the 2014 Mello Yello NHRA season at Pomona this weekend.

“Gus/Elvis” became a cult figure in the world of drag racing after making his push back debut on the Allan Dobson car at the Australian Nationals earlier this month. 

“The plan to channel Elvis has been at the back of my mind for sometime and our team owner Santo was happy for me to unleash my inner Elvis,” explained Ussia. 

“My favorite fabrics are cashmere, alpaca and silk but after wearing the Elvis suit in Sydney I have added polyester to the list. It clings to your body and when it gets hot it feels like a second skin.”

Hidden Valley Drag Racing Association President Jay Jukes will officially step down from his role at the Association’s upcoming AGM on October 21.

The ANDRA Board extends its gratitude to Jay and his team for all of their efforts over the years and wishes Jay the best of luck as he enters the next phase of his life and career.

Jukes has been a voluntary contributor to HVDRA for 10 years and his efforts will be sorely missed by everyone at ANDRA and Hidden Valley Drag Strip.

“Unfortunately I have changed careers and in the last year or two I have had to increase my commitments at work, plus during that time I've had a second son which means double the trouble at home,” said Jukes in a statement issued to HVDRA members.
