SPORTSMAN RACERS COUNTING DOWN TO ANDRA’S SYDNEY RETURN – SATURDAY JANUARY 24

This article brought to you by:

The ANDRA Drag Racing Masters (Saturday January 24) will see almost 150 racers from all across the country descend on Sydney Dragway as ANDRA makes its return to the venue for the first time in many years.

The one-day spectacular will feature racing for $70,000+ in cash and prizes, prestigious Gold ANDRA Christmas Trees, and for the sportsman racers, valuable 2025/2026 ANDRA Regional Sportsman Championship points.

The ANDRA Drag Racing Masters is the penultimate round of the ANDRA series title chase, with exciting racing expected from all 12 championship brackets: Three Dimensional Construction Super Gas, Junior Dragster, New Gen Business Park Junior Drag Bike, Ballistic Performance Parts Modified Bike, Goodyear Racing Super Street, SA Drag Racers Association Super Sedan, Gallagher Modified, New Gen Business Park Supercharged Outlaws, Top Sportsman, New Gen Business Park Competition, Competition Eliminator, and Super Stock.

In the Competition Eliminator ranks, Luke Cartledge is looking forward to a busy day with his new Altered.

“I’m looking forward to running at Sydney again as it has been quite a few years since I’ve raced one of my own cars there,” Cartledge said.

“The team and I are looking forward to seeing how my new altered performs over the quarter-mile after we put down some promising numbers at Portland’s South Coast 660 event a couple of weeks ago for its first outing.

“It is going to be a busy weekend for us with both me and Adriana racing (South Coast Nationals Gallagher Modified winner, and Luke’s wife, Adriana Cartledge), but we are keen for an action-packed day with our small team managing two cars.

“We are definitely looking forward to it and can’t wait to get up there!

In New Gen Business Park Junior Drag Bike, Aliza Harris – who took victory at Desert Nationals earlier this season – will be making her debut at the NSW facility.

“I am looking forward to racing in Sydney as I’ve never been to the track before and I have heard some really good things about it,” she said.

“I am also looking forward to testing my bike at another track under different conditions.

“As a race team we are excited to travel to Sydney for the race as well as seeing different places and making a holiday out of the trip as well.

“We hope to either place in the finals or get a new PB for us.”

The ANDRA Regional Sportsman Championship is proud to have the support of series bracket sponsors Gallagher (Modified), the South Australian Drag Racers Association (Super Sedan), Three Dimensional Construction (Super Gas), Goodyear Racing (Super Street), New Gen Business Park (Competition Bike, Junior Drag Bike, Supercharged Outlaws), Goodyear Racing (Super Street), and Ballistic Performance Parts (Modified Bike).

Joining the ANDRA Regional Sportsman Championship on-track at Sydney Dragway on Saturday January 24 will be a host of group one competitors across the Doorslammer Masters, Extreme Motorcycle Masters, Pro Mod Masters, and Pro Stock brackets.
