Jason Hedges has surprised ANDRA Pro Stock fans with the announcement that he will be taking a break from racing next season in his Decoglaze Pontiac.

Hedges has been one of the form runners in Pro Stock this season, finishing third in the 2010/11 series and sixth in this season, which has reached new levels of competitiveness.

The 2012/2013 season will go down as a landmark season both on and off the dragstrip for Brisbane based racer Steve Ham.

In only his third championship campaign with the Mobil 1 Funny Car in the fiercely contested ANDRA Top Alcohol category, Ham’s season was punctuated by his first event win at the Nitro Champs in Sydney and gladly interrupted by the safe arrival of his first daughter.

The quickest run in Top Doorslammer history and a fifth straight title was John Zappia’s reward at the conclusion of the Fuchs Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway as the rest of the field wonders what they need to do to keep up with the iconic HQ Monaro.

Australian drag racing legend Gary Phillips has claimed yet another ANDRA Top Alcohol crown, taking his championship tally to sixteen - 15 in Top Alcohol and one in Top Doorslammer.

Consistency was the key for Phillips again this season as the Lucas Oils team claimed two top qualifiers, three top speeds, two low ETs and new national speed records bringing the bonus points that made the difference in the end.

Pac Performance have unveiled their latest attempt to take back the world Mazda rotary record with the launch of their Mazda 6 SP.

Unveiled today at a ceremony held at Sydney Dragway, the Pac Performance Mazda 6 SP replaces both the recently retired and long-serving MX6 drag car and the team's previous Mazda 6 that was badly damaged in an accident just over a year ago.

ANDRA’s Best Engineered Vehicle Award is a prestigious honour for Australian built drag racing vehicles.

The winner at this year’s Fuchs Winternationals was Super Compact competitor Chris Tait in his Toyota-powered Nissan 200SX.

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.

It was the second straight championship win for Morgan’s AEG Powertools team.

The never give up attitude was on full display at Willowbank Raceway today as final eliminations were completed for the rain-delayed Fuchs Winternationals.

Both race teams and event staff gave their all to bring the event to completion and allow every category to reach its conclusion.

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.

Qualifying delivered an action packed show as rain delays pushed racing into the night. With Harris and Morgan claiming fourth and fifth positions respectively, the scene has been set for the title race.

ANDRA Top Doorslammer championship leader John Zappia made the case for a fifth straight national title on day two of the Fuchs Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway in Queensland, Australia’s biggest drag racing event.
