Aussie racers Richie Crampton, Dave Grubic and Shane Tucker all experienced the highs and lows of NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing during the Circle K NHRA Winternationals in Pomona.

With a .065-second reaction time Crampton sped to a pass of 3.747 seconds at 322.88 mph to easily outrun Force's slowing 4.617 at 279.50 mph.
