Fuchs teams takes the positives from Adelaide.

Memory of Mick carried with Morgan.

There's nothing like nitro and if you really want to feel the noise as the ground shakes you need to be there live.

The Nitro Champs on May 4, 5 and 6 marks the return of Top Fuel to Sydney Dragway along with the ANDRA Pro Series over three days in a festival of horsepower and speed.

Can Darren Morgan hang on to his newly attained Top Fuel championship lead, or will the young gun Andrew Cowin strike back with a vengeance? It's going to be war at 500kmh on the Sydney Dragway quarter mile. USA veteran Cory McClenathan is back to spice things up as the hired gun for Rapisarda Racing - can he repeat his Nationals victory?

Does John Zappia have what it takes to wrap up the Top Doorslammer title at this event or will Peter Kapiris and Robin Judd find a way to cut down Zap's Rat?

With Pro Stock, Top Alcohol, Top Bike and Pro Stock Motorcycle as well as the Rocket Allstars Racing Series joining the nitro warriors, Sydney will be buzzing with the best drag racing action you will ever see.
