ANDRA Top Alcohol and Top Doorslammer star, John Cannuli, has decided to go nitro racing after recently confirming that he and his team would field an Outlaw Nitro Funny Car at the November 23rd event.
Cannuli will be racing his own car at the event and is excited to be involved in this new direction for the sport.
Adding to the modern body styles, Cannuli will pilot a 2000 Pontiac nitro funny car, originally purchased by Queensland racer, Aaron Lynch.
“This is a great car,” states Cannuli.
“We are piecing together everything that we need and we know that the Plueger chassis will be perfect for this application.”
The team has confirmed the conversion of the car to Outlaw Nitro Funny Car specifications has been fairly straightforward.
“It’s simply been a case of collecting a few of the parts that we need and then putting it all together. We have plenty of infrastructure and a great crew, so getting involved was an easy decision.
“Graham Cowin and Brett Ehmer have been fantastic in supplying the Aeroflow plumbing and Brett will be tuning the car on the day – I couldn’t have done it without them, and I can’t thank them enough” concluded Cannuli.
Series Manager, Steve Bettes added, “How good is this? We have some of the best racers in this country taking on some of the best in the world!”
“At the rate this category is expanding, we are going to struggle to find a space to put them all. Lucky Sydney Dragway has a big pit area!” laughed Bettes.
The inaugural Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Car Extravaganza will be held at Sydney Dragway November 23, 2013.
