Now, second-generation racer Madison Brown is continuing that legacy in National Drag Racing Championship (NDRC) sportsman competition.
After a stunning start to the season that included his first Supercharged Outlaws win, his first 6 second pass and his first 200mph pass, Brodie Zappia went through a rollercoaster of emotions at the Quarter Mile Masters at Perth Motorplex on Saturday.
Drag racing is a sport that seems so simple, but the competition in Top Doorslammer at the Quarter Mile Masters at Perth Motorplex on the weekend proved it is anything but.
