Current ANDRA Drag Racing Series Top Fuel Motorcycle points leader Mark Drew has a new toy – a former Doug Horne owned 6.2-second nitro Harley.

Team Bray Racing is currently putting the final touches on their preparation for the biggest drag racing event of the year – the Fuchs Winternationals.

The Hof (the Corvette driving Supercharged Outlaw driver not The Hoff, 1980s Trans Am driving Knightrider star) goes into next week’s Fuchs Winternationals looking for his first ANDRA Gold Christmas Tree.

Following non-qualification in Round 1 at Perth Motorplex earlier this year, Steven Reed faced a challenge to get back into contention for the 2014 Top Alcohol ANDRA Drag Racing Series championship.

The Fuchs Winternationals is just around the corner and the excitement is building for the June 5th to 8th event at Willowbank Raceway in Queensland.

Not only is the Fuchs Winternationals the biggest drag racing event on the Australian National Drag Racing Association calendar, but is also the largest drag racing event outside of North America.

Attracting over 400 racers to Willowbank Raceway and showcasing some of the biggest Group One fields of the season, AVE P/L and Speedweek are ready to step up the video production for the event.

Twenty-eight year old Grace Howell will make her debut in the Australian professional ranks at Willowbank Raceway’s FUCHS Winternationals (5-8 June 2014), competing in the Pro Stock category. It will be the first time the former professional NHRA drag racer will compete on Australian soil after moving to Australia in 2013 from South Carolina to be with her Australian partner and Pro Stock racer Scott Porter, and with years of drag racing experience behind her the petite blonde powerhouse is sure to be one to watch.

For current ANDRA Pro Stock Champion Jason Grima, his 2014 campaign so far hasn’t quite delivered the on track results he had hoped for. But he knows how tough Pro Stock is and how things can turn around quickly from race to race.

Top Fuel newcomer Richie Crampton gave his Rookie of the Year bid a giant boost Sunday by winning the 45th annual Toyota NHRA Summernationals at Old Bridge Township Raceway Park. Crampton beat points leader Doug Kalitta in a thrilling final round, 3.819 to 3.848, becoming just the second Australian-born pro winner in NHRA history. 

"Has this really happened?" Crampton said. "I'm absolutely over the moon with this win. I already know I'm the luckiest guy in the pit and now we've proven it. This is beyond anything I could have ever imagined to go from a crew guy to standing here with a Wally (trophy) in just a few months time. 

"I'm so humbled that GEICO, Lucas Oil, and Toyota showed faith in me and gave me this awesome opportunity. I'm really quite stunned at the moment."

Adding a special twist to the occasion, Crampton's father Al was on the starting line for the memorable moment. Crampton's parents are visiting from Adelaide, South Australia, primarily to help with new baby girl Emma, whom Crampton and his longtime girlfriend Stephanie Laski welcomed into the world on May 20th.

ANDRA is proud to announce OAMPS as the official naming rights sponsor of the OAMPS Volunteer of the Year Award to be presented at the ANDRA Championship Dinner following the Grand Final.

ANDRA Pro Stock is well known to be one of the toughest Pro categories in Australian Drag Racing. With oversubscribed fields, qualifying is often separated by thousandths of a second!

Brothers Aaron and Tyronne Tremayne are ready to fire at the Fuchs Winternationals after rebuilding not one, but two damaged engines.

The FUCHS Winternationals featuring all the stars of the ANDRA Drag Racing Series and Aeroflow Sportsman Drag Racing Championship will roar into life next weekend.

When the FUCHS Winternationals kick-off at Willowbank Raceway next weekend (June 5-8), Chris Porter (Top Fuel Motorcycle) and Luke Crowley (Pro Stock Motorcycle) will be looking to make a mark in their respective title defences, and they say Willowbank Raceway is the best place to do it.

The strengthening of Top Fuel in Australia continues with the second full, eight car field of the season set to compete at the Fuchs Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway on June 5-8.

Kelly Bettes can’t wait to get back in the seat at the FUCHS Winternationals next week especially since her last appearance behind the wheel came at the Sydney Jamboree in March.

Bettes, who broke the New Zealand four-cylinder record at the V4 and Rotary Nationals earlier this year, expects the Super Compact field to be very tough with some quick cars to contend with.

“A lot of cars are capable of running a fair way under there respective indexes so it could come down to a reaction time advantage to be able to take the win,” she said.
