Bluey back on home turf.

Mariani joins Adelaide race.

One eye on the title.

ANDRA was saddened by the news of the passing of Australian drag racing legend Mick Atholwood.

Atholwood was a pioneering figure in the nitro funny car ranks (shown in the picture at left, thanks to Steve Thomas) during the early days of the sport. In more recent times, Queensland drag racing fans in particular might remember the Atholwood and Smith Top Fuel dragster which won the 2000 Nationals and even ran a four second pass with the unique Sainty engine combination.

 ANDRA's sympathies go out to Mick's family and his many friends.

Zachary Peirano was lucky to walk away unharmed from a 290kmh crash at Sydney Dragway over the weekend in his supercharged V8 dragster.

Peirano had just crossed the finish line and released his parachutes when some oil got underneath the tyres and sent his dragster on a wild ride. 

Will Adelaide be Matheson's toughest challenge?

Final brings smiles to Team Bray.

An emotional victory in the ANDRA Pro Series.

First all five second field.

The release of the calendar at such an early date is unprecedented, but required given the changes and planning occurring as the national championships shifts from split years to a calendar year season.

The new management of ANDRA has been working with venues around Australia to achieve significant goals for racers in the 2013 calendar including ANDRA Pro Series events in Victoria and the Northern Territory for the first time since the early 2000s.
