Four times ANDRA Drag Racing Series Top Fuel champion Darren Morgan and current series leader Phil Lamattina are crossing the Nullabor to put on a show and come away with the first ANDRA Gold Christmas Tree of the season at the 43rd Westernationals this weekend.

In the lead up to this weekend’s Westernationals at the Perth Motorplex, Oakford drag racer Rob Pilkington has made the bold decision to hunt for national records records rather than local series points.

West Australian drag racing star Murray O’Connor is looking to take his team’s good form in ANDRA Top Doorslammer to the biggest drag racing event on the Perth Calendar – the Westernationals.

The 43rd annual Westernationals has always been the biggest drag racing event in Western Australia and for the Nieuwhof family has seen regular success.

Our American-based Aussies were in action again this past weekend at the Carquest Auto Parts NHRA Nationals in Phoenix, Arizona.

All 20 Top Doorslammers entered are capable of doing something special but keep an eye on West Australian Pino Priolo and WA ex-pat Grant O’Rourke at the 43rd Westernationals this weekend.

Earlier this month, Priolo broke through for his first ANDRA Drag Racing Series Top Doorslammer championship final taking out Murray O’Connor and Marty Dack before eventually going down to first time winner Stuart Bishop in the final.

Returning to his hometown, Grant O’Rourke defeated John Zappia in a match up reminiscent of their early 2000s rivalry in Top Comp and Top Doorslammer before Bishop would take their semi-final pairing on the way to his historic win.

Team Bray Racing is guaranteed to have at least one reason to celebrate at the Perth Motorplex’s 43rd Westernationals this weekend (February 28 - March 2), with Benny ‘The Kid’ Bray turning the ‘big 3-0’on Sunday.

Mark Sheehan is ready to lead the West Aussie charge against current Top Fuel champion Darren Morgan, 2014 points leader Phil Lamattina, the duel threat of Rapisarda Autosport and former Top Fuel champion Martin Stamatis this weekend at the 43rd Westernationals.

If 21 year old Shane Weston can take the Competition Eliminator honours at the 43rd Westernationals, locals might just unofficially rename the event the “Weston-nationals” such is the growing support in the stands for the Byford boy.

The official ANDRA Transporter is coming to selected Perth locations from Monday, February 24th – Thursday February 27th, 2014.

16 times Top Alcohol and 2007 ANDRA Top Doorslammer Champion Gary Phillips, and his Lucas Oils team are heading to the Perth Motorplex next weekend, for the second time in four weeks.

This February (2014), marks the 10th Anniversary of the Official Opening of Western Sydney International Dragway (WSID), now known as Sydney Dragway.

One of the few entrants travelling to the 43rd Westernationals from South Australia, Mark Hunt is hoping to build on a personal best time set at Perth Motorplex earlier this month.
