Celebrating its 50th year, the annual Goldenstates returned with NDRC series rounds for Top Doorslammer and Top Fuel Motorcycle for the 2024 edition at the Perth Motorplex.
Perth Motorplex’s post-Christmas flame and thunder shows went off again this year in front of a great holiday crowd. Jet dragsters thundered down the quarter and the supercharged action from the Blown Alcohol Allstars delivered five second racing all night long.
The local Perth Top Doorslammer series heats up as Summer Slam delivers Lisa Gregorini’s first home town win, plus Top Fuel Motorcycle and all the Perth Motorplex sportsman classes continue their Track Championship fights.
It has been a long wait to kick start the 2024 edition of the Queensland Drag Racing Championships following extensive upgrades to Willowbank Raceway, but the short-sharp series ran to completion in December encompassing six rounds all up.
Dragway At The Bend hosted the first NDRC Season 2 Championship stop for Top Fuel Motorcycle at the Drag Bike Nationals all bike event, and event that went on to create drag bike history.
The 2024 NSW Track Championship fight is over with all the champions crowned at the Grand Finals. The event was held over two days alongside the PDRC professional series that forms part of the NDRC Championship, unfortunately rain washed out Friday and messed around with the schedule on Saturday, but everyone forged ahead and completed the event in the late evening.
The second NDRC season launched in thunderous style at Dragway At The Bend for the Spring Nationals with a nitro double-header featuring Top Fuel and Nitro Funny Car combined with Top Doorslammer to start their chase for the title, as the venue showed its teeth as a record eater.
The event was the official start of the new Perth Motorplex drag racing season, with Zappia versus Zappia a hot topic of discussion pre-event, the young Brodie Zappia would make his competition debut, continuing a family Top Doorslammer legacy.
Dragway At The Bend has again proved it’s the domain for record setters after the venue added another Australian Record to its credentials in its relatively short operating life. Damian Muscat aboard his Nitro Phoenix Top Fuel Motorcycle belted out a 5.800 at 245MPH (394.96KPH) to eclipse all who have come before him.
It was another big day of action at round four of the Queensland Drag Racing Championship as the series drives to it’s conclusion and crowning of Willowbank Track Champions.
