Drag News Magazine #17 brings you stories from every corner of Australian drag racing. Holding our cover this month is Mark ‘The Shark’ Mariani, who recently claimed his first victory with his own Top Fuel team. There are fewer people more enthusiastic about the sport than Mark and he runs us through what took him to victory in our Nitro Champs coverage. Speaking about passionate people, Matt Forbes is one of the most keen you will find in the sportsman ranks. We reckon he can claim the honour of being Australia’s greatest sportsman racer right now with championships in two brackets as well as being the first sportsman racer to ever ‘double up’ at an event. Matt breaks some exclusive news about heading back to the USA as well! Adam Murrihy took the road trip of a life time to win the Supercharged Outlaws national championship and we chat to him about the experience. Rob Ambruosi was about as excited as anyone we have ever seen to get a runner up, we speak to this Top Alcohol veteran about his comeback to drag racing and how he wants to take it to the best in the bracket. Plus more quirky stories from Queensland’s drag racing history thanks to Lex Swayn, an Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny car photo essay, King of the Hill grudge racing from Calder Park and an event report from round three of the QDRC.  Single Issue  Subscription Ordering page including back issues.
