Australian drag racing has been saddened by the passing of legendary Top Fuel innovator Stan Sainty.

John Zappia in the Noonan Racing Camaro has become the quickest and fastest blown doorslammer racer in the world in post-PDRA event testing at Virginia Motorsports park.

Pro Stock standout Shane Tucker announced today that he will be taking the wheel of a Gray Motorsports Chevrolet Camaro next weekend at the 17th annual NHRA Nationals at The Strip at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. The Shane Gray-owned Camaro was last contested at the U.S. Nationals with grandfather Johnny Gray at the helms where it qualified in the top half of the field.

At last weekend’s Spring Nationals, held at Adelaide International Raceway, Daniel Camilleri not only top qualified and won the SuperComp proceedings but also twice reset the national DD/GA record.

Frankie Taylor, the world’s quickest and fastest blown doorslammer driver over the quarter-mile, will drive a Pro Slammer for Team Bray Racing and Gulf Western Oil at the upcoming AC Delco East Coast Thunder Nationals.

After many months of late nights and hard work by all involved, the Spinozzi Racing doorslammer is due to make its first pass down the strip at Sydney Dragway this Friday.

The 30th running of the Spring Nationals took to Adelaide International Raceway on Saturday (October 14) and with more than 160 racers on-hand for what was round four of the 2017/2018 Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series, the action was aplenty from start to finish.
