Pro Stock competitor Chris Soldatos will compete at South Coast Raceway’s South Coast 660 next weekend in close friend Craig Geddes’ Cavalier.

The January 20/21 event marks round seven of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series.

With Geddes at the wheel, the 2004 Cavalier - a new car for Geddes - took out the Super Stock honours at the last round of the Series: the Rowe Memorial at Calder Park.

Now, Soldatos will take over the driving duties while Geddes looks to run his dragster for the remainder of the season.

The Australian National Drag Racing Association is pleased to welcome AndyK Design to its Member Benefits Program.

The ANDRA Member Benefits Program has been created to offer loyal ANDRA members the opportunity to receive discounts to products from supporting companies.

AndyK Design’s Andy Kahle says she was driven to take part in the program because of her love for racing.

Bill Farrugia is looking to take the performance that saw him top qualify at the last round of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series and convert that into an event victory at the upcoming South Coast 660 event.

Round seven of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series, the South Coast 660 will be held at Portland’s South Coast Raceway across January 20 and 21, 2018.

In a must-have for all Drag Racing and Muscle Car fans, legendary Australian drag racer, the Big O, Larry Ormsby has just released a stunning, limited edition book detailing the early years of his incredible career.

Titled “The Larry Ormsby Scrapbook – The Ford Years,” this new book documents an exciting, bygone era in racing when the ‘Win on Sunday. Sell on Monday’ mantra ruled the sales strategies of major car companies.

The Australian National Drag Racing Association and Summit Racing Equipment are pleased to announce a multi-year renewal of their relationship.

This renewal sees the support Summit Racing Equipment has provided ANDRA’s Sportsman racers over the past three years as the naming rights sponsor of the national Sportsman Series continue.

Competition eliminator racer Shane Baxter broke through to reset the national speed CC/AA record over the 1000ft at the weekend’s Rowe Memorial at Calder Park Raceway.

While his record-breaking speed did not translate to event winning power on the day, Baxter says there is more to come from his operation as they look towards racing at Portland (January 20-21) for round seven of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series.

Craig Geddes has claimed the prestigious Rowe Memorial after taking victory in his new Super Stock machine at Calder Park Dragway today.

Geddes’ name will now be inscribed on the perpetual Rowe Memorial after he took out the SuperComp class during proceedings for round six of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series.

Joining Geddes in the winners’ circle were Graeme Spencer (Super Gas), George Hatzi (Super Sedan), Jake Berias (Summit Racing Equipment Junior Dragster), Graeme Cooper (Denso Super Street), Johnny Ireland (Modified Bike), Jess Turner (Modified), Glenn Henley (Top Sportsman) and Justin Russell (Supercharged Outlaws).

Amongst the field at this Saturday’s Rowe Memorial – which includes round six of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series – will be current points leader and last year’s Rowe Memorial Super Stock winner, Tom Dimitropoulos.

The Adelaide racer was the runner-up at round three in Mildura, and while his last outing at Adelaide in October didn’t go to plan, he is hopeful he can defend his Rowe Memorial Super Stock crown this weekend (Saturday November 25) at Calder Park Dragway.

For Denso Super Street competitor Graeme Cooper, the Rowe Memorial – to be held this Saturday (November 25) at Calder Park Dragway – is a deeply important event.

“It really does mean a lot. In my first final back in 1980, Andrew Rowe was in the other lane and he beat me,” Cooper explained.

“That was in November of 1980, and he passed away in the opening months of the following year. His brother Wayne is also a good friend, so the meeting does mean a lot.
