Three final streak for Phil Lamattina
Fuchs Top Fuel dragster pilot Phil Lamattina made his third finals appearance in row in the third round of the ANDRA Top Fuel championship in Perth on the weekend.
There were more threes after qualifying in the number three position, with Lamattina and crew chief Aaron Hambridge making dramatic changes to the tune-up for the first round of eliminations.
“We found the conditions tricky early but once we got our head around what was required, we knew we could go quick and fast," Lamattina said.
“The racetrack got better and better as the race meeting went on and to be honest, it was as good as anything we have ever raced on.”
The first round of eliminations saw Lamattina face off against good friend and West Australian local Allan Dobson.
Tuner Aaron Hambridge said the team added a bit more to the tune-up for the confrontation.
