The Fuchs Winterntationals provided plenty of excitement on the track as multiple records were broken and in some instances, set, reset and then reset again!

The 2014 Fuchs Winternationals didn’t end in victory for either of the LTFR top fuel dragsters but the two-car team ended the event with some astounding performances and gained valuable points in the ANDRA Championship chase.

John Zappia has won this years prestigious FUCHS Winternationals Australian ANDRA Top Doorslammer event at Willowbank International Raceway in a dominant performance against his 15 opponents.

Damien Harris faced adversity from the moment he hit the throttle in qualifying on Friday but Rapisarda Autosport International recovered on race day to take home the ANDRA Gold Christmas Tree at the Fuchs Winternationals.

Despite a recent story circulating on social media claiming Australian Top Fuel will switch to the 1000 foot racing distance at the beginning of 2015, Drag News Australia made the enquiry to Top Fuel Australia and ANDRA who have both dismissed the claim.

The action came thick and fast at the Fuchs Winternationals on day three as the six-second show continued in Pro Stock, eight Top Doorslammers recorded five second qualifying passes and Phil Lamattina put down a 4.56 Top Fuel pass.

They said six-second Pro Stock passes were a possibility if the conditions were right at the Fuchs Winternationals and they weren’t kidding.

The 47th edition of the Fuchs Winternationals kicked off at Willowbank Raceway today with qualifying in Groups Three and Four in the Aeroflow Sportsman Drag Racing Championship.
