O’Rourke Motorsport’s Grant O’Rourke has enjoyed strong speed at the first-ever 400 Thunder series round – the East Coast Nationals at Sydney Dragway – at the weekend.

National championship drag racing continues to be left in limbo with ANDRA issuing a new email advising it may not sanction upcoming 400 Thunder events at Perth and Willowbank.

Fans at Fuchs South Coast Raceway in Portland this weekend can look forward to some old school cool as Wayne Talbot (Clyde, Victoria) pilots his Forever Young II Funny Car at the South Coast 660.
