Round Two of the NSW Championship Series is back over two big days on Saturday the 20th and Sunday the 21st of August and will feature Nitro Funny Car action.

Hot on the heels of Phillip Lamattina’s Eliminator Racing Series (ERS) proposal, Pro Series Drag Racing Australia (formerly known as DRAG Ltd) released yesterday their proposal for the ANDRA Pro Series. ANDRA has released a statement about the ERS, showing it is considering all options for the sport.

There has been much speculation about the ERS Proposal that has been developed and distributed by Phil Lamattina. ANDRA would like to advise that the proposal which was officially received on August 1 will be tabled for discussion at the next ANDRA Board meeting which is being held in Sydney on August 20/21.

Usually ANDRA would conduct it’s AGM around mid to late August, given that ANDRA Incorporated is now the Australian National Drag Racing Association Limited, the ASIC timeframes allow for the AGM to be conducted within five months of the end of the financial year.

Maurice Allen and his team can now report that the Team Milwaukee Tools Pro Stock Bike Team has been able to wrap up the 2011 ANDRA Pro Series Championship this year.

Meguiar’s Motorex is the most prestigious car show in Australia, all the bling from the countries, finest street machines and hot rods was on display at Sydney Olympic Park on July 23rd and 24th.

It has been a horror season for the sport, perhaps its worst, even ignoring the off track rumblings, Mother Nature truly was unkind. The Winternationals finale was a race in two parts and in the end was mercifully put down after attempted combined seven days of effort.

It has been six weeks since Sydney Dragway has seen any serious horsepower action with track works taking longer than planned. But the end result was a billiard table smooth surface that greeted over 140 racers last weekend for the first test and tune of the new season.

The Castrol EDGE Winternationals and the Australian Championships final round at Willowbank Raceway have concluded with the event being a total washout! ANDRA is extremely disappointed that such an important component of our events calendar has concluded in such a way. Notwithstanding that, ANDRA has already commenced planning a new “National Events Template” which will ensure that new risk mitigation strategies will be in place to prevent a re-occurrence of last weekend’s outcomes.

Matheson had top qualified a month earlier, only to see the meeting postponed due to rain.
