Getting off to the best start of his brief career in the 2015 NHRA Mello Yello Drag Racing Series season, Lucas Oil/GEICO Top Fuel driver Richie Crampton is ready for bigger things during his second trip ever to the NHRA Four-Wide Nationals, which will take place this weekend in Concord, North Carolain.

When the flame-throwing Top Fuel dragsters thunder down Willowbank Raceway’s quarter-mile on Easter Saturday (4 April) as part of the Santo’s Super 3 Extreme Drag Race Event presented by Uplift Cranes and Titan Cranes, it will be in pursuit of what has been called ‘Top Fuel’s highest honour’.

Scott White had that feeling of confidence prior to the first round of the 2015 ANDRA Pro Stock Motorcycle Championship at Adelaide International Raceway.

As a little bit of a fun experiment today we will be tweeting news, photos and videos from three different tracks – Queensland’s APSA round, Sydney’s Atura Track Championship round and Perth’s Night of Fire. Enjoy!

Sydney Dragway is taking a big leap and making spectator entry to the opening round of the Atura Blacktown Championship Series free this Saturday.
