One of the most popular drivers in the ANDRA Top Doorslammer Championship Series is hanging up the helmet, but for the fans of the Holden Trade Club Monaro, the iconic racecar will continue to compete at the highest level of Australian drag racing.

The Winter freeze abated for the Sydney Dragway test and tune last weekend in favour of a glorious Winters day that delivered a full day of testing.

Another joint press release from the four tracks involved in the break-away championship move has been released revealing a few more details and racer group support.

For the first time in the ANDRA Drag Racing Series, Hidden Valley Drag Strip will host not one but two Top Doorslammer Championship rounds as the 2015/2016 season kicks off July 17-18.

Top Fuel driver and team owner Mark Mariani is looking forward to the future of Drag Racing in Australia, and the second generation racer is doing everything within his reach to ensure the future success of his fledgling Top Fuel team.
