Northern Territory Pro Stock Motorcycle sophomore Scott White is preparing for the new season’s opening round at the 2012 Australian Nationals at Sydney Dragway.

While Top Fuel and Pro Stock get underway next weekend in Adelaide, November 2-4 will mark the season launch for the Pro Stock Motorcycle brigade, where White hopes to make more of an impact.

Lee Bektash has armed himself to the teeth for an assault on the ANDRA Drag Racing Series in Pro Stock this season, coming into the opening event in Adelaide on October 20 with what he says is his best horsepower yet under the bonnet of the factory-backed Mopar.

Last season Bektash finished with just one round win from five events but also lost three races by less than a tenth of a second. With a bunch of testing done in the off season producing quality results including an unofficial highest ever speed for an Australian Pro Stock car at 196mph (315kph), the Mopar team has positioned itself for a turn around.

Team Bray Racing is once again returning to Bathurst this weekend as part of the on track entertainment at Australia's most well known motorsport event and are keen to put on a show with both of their burnout cars while promoting drag racing.

Sydney Pro Stock driver Bill Perdikaris says he finally has a car that is responding to set up changes and is ready to be a surprise packet when the ANDRA championship begins on October 20 at Adelaide International Raceway.

Off-season testing has seen many Pro Stock teams producing tough numbers and Perdikaris joined them with a 7.06sec run in the Cargo Logistics/ENG Haulage Ford Escort at Willowbank Raceway that had the potential to be even quicker.
