Zappia takes Summer Slam championship lead
A B-Final win at the Nitro Slam proved enough to leapfrog John Zappia into the lead of the Direct Mining & Industrial Summer Slam Series on Saturday at Perth Motorplex.

A B-Final win at the Nitro Slam proved enough to leapfrog John Zappia into the lead of the Direct Mining & Industrial Summer Slam Series on Saturday at Perth Motorplex.

In disappointing news, Willowbank Raceway has had to cancel its New Year’s Shootout due to a mandatory lockdown for greater Brisbane.

The biggest nitro event in Australia since March took place at Perth Motorplex on January 2 as the Nitro Slam combined the BME WA Nitro Championship, Nitro Bikes and the Summer Slam.

Willowbank Raceway is looking forward to a bumper crowd at the New Year’s Shootout event this weekend.

The Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) wishes to advise it is closely monitoring the situation in relation to border restrictions and their possible impact on this month’s scheduled South Coast 660.

The BME WA Nitro Championship is home to an exotic group of nitro-fuelled machines, including one that has become Australia’s quickest nitro front engine dragster.

Aaron Deery is no stranger to very fast cars, but a switch to two wheels left him ‘shocked’ by the experience and ready for more ahead of the January 2 Nitro Slam at Perth Motorplex.

The Perth Motorplex will get 2021 off to a great start with its Nitro Slam event this Saturday, January 2. The event will be headlined by Nitro Funny Cars and Nitro Front Engine Dragsters, nitro-burning Motorcycles and 10 of the hugely popular Top Doorslammers as they continue their fight for the Summer Slam series.

The need for speed is often joked about as being hereditary, but in the case of the Jones family one must wonder if there is some truth to the genetic theory.

We know what it’s like. It’s the question that comes up time and time again at this time of year…what do you want for Christmas?
