NOMINATIONS INVITED

During 2017, elections are due for ANDRA Division Directors in Victoria/Tasmania, Northern Australia and Western Australia.

The Australian National Drag Racing Association together with Adelaide DragRace Promotions are pleased to announce that Summit Racing Equipment have taken naming rights sponsorship for the 2016/17 ANDRA Drag Racing Grand Finals.

The beautiful seaside South Coast Raceway at Portland in Victoria has been host to the Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Cars for several years and the 2017 event is shaping up to be the best yet, with a special feature – a father vs son shootout!

It may have taken them 38 years, but Aussie drag racing legend Graeme Cooper and his famous “Bricklayer” Holden station wagon have finally won the Australian Nationals.

The hot conditions at the ANDRA Goldenstates made it difficult for the naturally aspirated cars to run quick, but that still didn’t stop five records broken by the close of the event.

For the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series, all the racers had two qualifiers each day, giving them plenty of opportunity to improve, especially since Saturday was cooler after Friday’s heat.

After the epic final Top Doorslammer qualifier on Friday, today was all about going rounds. And rounds it was for the current ANDRA Champ John Zappia, fighting off some strong performances from the other teams.

For Top Fuel motorcycle it was a whole new day with their three-round format. And a new day brings new surprises with the two quickest bikes bowing out and giving Benny Stevens a popular win.

Yep while some watched Danny Green and Anthony Mundine bang each other in the head over 10 rounds, ANDRA Championship drag racing returned to Perth Motorplex with a bang of it’s own. The Goldenstates was back and with championship rounds for Top Doorslammer and Top Fuel Motorcycle. Anticipation was high to see who could run the numbers and who would win in conditions that were best described as hot and sticky. Damian Muscat became the first winner of the event when he dominated the three-round format in Top Fuel Motorcycle.

It was a planned trip East for Western Australian Junior Dragster racer Jasmine Slamar and her family. The purpose of the trip besides having some fun was to pick up some points along the way. We asked Jasmine Slamar to give us a few words following her awesome win at the 2017 ANDRA Australian Nationals

When it comes to Nitro Harley racing in Australia, WA’s Mark Drew is the man to beat. There is only one other rider to go within a few thousandths of a second of Drew’s national record and that is Queensland’s Damian Muscat.

Grant and Debbie O’Rourke have arrived in Perth ahead of the Goldenstates event at Perth Motorplex ready to tackle the Top Doorslammer bracket.

The 2017 Goldenstates from Perth Motorplex will be live streaming on Saturday February 4th thanks to the Garmin VIRB ANDRA Live Stream.

Australian Top Fuel Motorcycle legend and one-time ANDRA Champion Jay Upton is looking forward to mixing it up with the V-Twin boys this weekend at the 2017 ANDRA Goldenstates in Perth.

Ten new records were reset following the 2017 ANDRA Australian Nationals at Calder Park on January 28-29

Round 7 of the Summit Racing Equipment Series certainly delivered with some record setting racing at the 51^st Australian Nationals.

Super Comp – Jamie Chaisty

The Super Comp bracket produced a number of new records at Calder Park and saw 12 of the 16-car field under their index! Big surprise was seeing the number one qualifier Daniel Camilleri go out in the first round against Les Heintz following a .608 reaction.
