Adelaide's Rundle Mall had more than a splash of red as the ANDRA Drag Racing display set up in the main shopping mall for South Australia's capital city.

Championship leader has Adelaide race in sights.

More than 330 entries have already been received for Australia’s largest drag racing event, the FUCHS Winternationals, eight weeks out from the 8-11 June 2012 outing at Willowbank Raceway.

With weeks still to go until entries close, more than 50% of the expected ANDRA Pro Series entrants and 68% of the expected Rocket Allstars Racing Series entrants have put their hands up and are getting the jumpstart on their preferred pit allocations.

Adelaide drag racing fans will be in for a treat when they head to Adelaide International Raceway for the Pro Series 1000 on April 13, 14 and 15.

The venue has been getting a bunch of upgrades in preparation for the event with the strip being set up with its first ever read out boards which will be a permanent feature for the future and temporary grand standing on the infield section for the event.

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?
