Willowbank Raceway’s Fuchs Winternationals event has been announced as a winner at the 2014 Ipswich Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Business Awards.

Dylan Leo and Jake Cartledge are the latest Junior Drgasters to win the 60foot Rising Star Award at the Benaraby Nationals and Fuchs Spring Nationals respectively.

Leo completed the double at the Benaraby Nationals taking home his first ANDRA Silver Christmas Tree and the 60foot Rising Star Award for the event recording a 0.059 reaction time and a 7.982 second pass on a 7.98 dial in for a package of 0.061.

In Adelaide at the Fuchs Spring Nationals, Cartledge cut a 0.040 reaction time on his way to an 8.225 second pass on a 8.22 dial in for an overall package of 0.045.

The 60foot Rising Star Award recognises the Junior Dragster racer who has the best reaction time and dial in package at each round of the Aeroflow Sportsman Drag Racing Championship.

It was another record setting weekend as Australia’s best Sportsman racers battled it out at Benaraby Raceway and Adelaide International Raceway in a double dose of Drag Racing action.

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.

Steve Harker has become the first Aussie to win an NHRA World Championship taking out the 2014 Lucas Oil Top Alcohol Funny Car title.

In a dominant weekend capturing three Wallys, Harker took the event wins in the postponed Pep Boys Carolina Nationals and the NHRA Nationals to secure the first NHRA Championship for a non-North American born driver. 

In the delayed Pep Boys Carolina Nationals, Harker outran Dale Cox Jr. in the final posting a run of 5.510, 263.77 to Cox's 5.713, 250.32.  Earlier he beat Mark Rogers and Tony Bogolo in the early rounds then won over Dale Brand in the semis with a 5.545 second pass at 263.10 mph. 

During the final of the NHRA Nationals Harker met John Lombardo Jr. who had the starting line advantage, but was up in smoke right off the finish line. Harker posted a career best ET of 5.429 at 267.69 for his second National event win of the weekend and his third National event in a row.

Due to damage to the track, the Benaraby Nationals in Queensland have been put on hold for tonight.

Although the track crew are busy repairing the surface, qualifying could have continued, it was decided to postpone the rest of Friday’s qualifying program until tomorrow with cool conditions and the dew setting in.

A not so funny thing happened as GEICO/Lucas Oil driver Richie Crampton was cruising to a first-round victory at the NHRA Midwest Nationals on Sunday at Gateway Motorsports Park.

Steve Harker earned his sixth National NHRA event win with a Top Alcohol Funny Car victory at the AAA Texas FallNationals in Dallas over the weekend.

After an extensive review process involving the Divisional Councils, the National Rules Committee, Australian Drag Racing Promoters Association and the ANDRA Operations Committee, the ANDRA Board have ratified the rule amendments to be included in the 2015/16 ANDRA Rulebook.

Entries for the Fuchs Spring Nationals at Adelaide International Raceway are scheduled to close at 5pm (ACST) this Friday 19 September.

Time is running out to get entries in for the Benaraby Nationals to be held October 3-4, 2014 at Benaraby Raceway in Queensland.
