The first Full Throttle Friday of 2011 at Sydney Dragway fired into life last Friday in what quite frankly was oppressive heat and humidity.

Popular Sydney Top Fuel drag racer, Terry Sainty, will race in the (National Hot Rod Association) NHRA Full Throttle Drag Racing Series this year after accepting an invitation to drive for Rapisarda Racing.

After a solid campaign by S&M Racing at Calder Park last month the Territory based Top Doorslammer teams of Matt Abel and Scott MacLean ventured to Portal Victoria on the weekend where they competed at the Slamfest for Wishes event.
