Greg and Kim Clayton had no plans for drag racing during 2012. It was decided to put their supercharged altered Competition car away in the workshop and concentrate on business and family life for the year.

That was until a long overdue catch up meeting with an old friend to talk business, cars, life and whatever else turned into a new look BB/Altered, carrying new components and new corporate backing from Qld Tyre & Retreading (QTR) and Bridgestone Select Salisbury.

Darren Morgan is enjoying basking in the glory of his third ANDRA Top Fuel championship following his nail biting series win over challengers Damien Harris and Andrew Cowin.

The ANDRA Top Fuel national championship will all be decided in round one of racing on June 11 at Willowbank Raceway in Queensland when Western Australian Damien Harris takes on Victoria’s Darren Morgan.

Multiple Australian Top Fuel champion Steve Read will make a return to racing at this weekend’s 45th annual Fuchs Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway, Ipswich, after a 12 month absence.

Top Alcohol competitor Jamie Noonan is no stranger to V8 Supercars, winning multiple titles with Stone Brothers Racing as part of the mechanical brains trust behind Marcos Ambrose and Russell Ingall’s championship titles, and more recently as the power behind Brad Jones Racing, but while his exploits behind the scenes are without question, it’s his ability behind the wheel that is gaining the most attention.

The 45th annual Fuchs Winternationals has been launched with two fan fests around Brisbane, Queensland.

John Cannuli could be excused for finding it hard to focus at the Fuchs Winternationals this weekend at Willowbank Raceway.

Jason Grima has a realistic shot at a top five finish in the ANDRA Pro Series following a semi finals appearance at the Nitro Champs at Sydney Dragway.

Top Alcohol racer Steven Ham realised a childhood dream in Sydney last weekend, claiming the first ANDRA gold christmas tree trophy in his Pro Series career. Ham defeated 14-times Top Alcohol champion Gary Phillips in the close 5.52sec to 5.54sec final.
