More than 500 racers will take up residence at Willowbank Raceway across the Queen’s Birthday Long Weekend of June 10-13 as the venue hosts the largest drag racing event held outside of the US – the Castrol EDGE Winternationals.
That figure includes 87 racers at the elite level of competition in Australia, the ANDRA Pro Series brackets of Top Fuel (8), Top Doorslammer (20), Top Alcohol (14), Top Bike (13), Pro Stock (21) and Pro Stock Motorcycle (11).
They will be joined by more than 420 sportsman racers battling it out for victory at the event, which is the season-finale for both the ANDRA Pro Series and the Rocket All Stars Racing Series.
Willowbank Raceway Managing Director Steve Bettes said the 2011 Castrol EDGE Winternationals, running a Friday to Monday format for the first time ever, would be bursting from start to finish with things to see and do both on and off the quarter-mile.
“With the finalisation of the entry list and more than 500 racers set to take part, you can just feel the excitement building here at Willowbank Raceway,” said Bettes.
“With massive fields in a wide range of brackets and event glory on the line and tonnes of action also planned for off-track – the 2011 Castrol EDGE Winternationals is going to be full on, and we can’t wait for it to get here!”
