Facebook has revealed some killer new rides hot from the docks.

This month’s Honeywell Garrett Jamboree, presented by Tuners Edge and Link ECU, will host no less than four international drag racing stars all the way from Puerto Rico and to celebrate, a special Open Night will be held to officially welcome the international racers and their crews.

The long awaited international debut of John Zappia has taken place in Tulsa, Oklahoma today, with the ten times Australian Top Doorslammer champion taking the Noonan Race Engineering Camaro out for its first test hits ahead of the PDRA event this weekend.

HQ Monaros and the Australian outback make for an iconic combination and John Zappia only further spread the legend with a dominating performance at the Desert Nationals in Alice Springs on the weekend.

One of the most iconic Japanese drag cars of all time makes its Australian debut on August 26 and 27, as the former HKS-backed JZA80 Toyota Supra competes in a star-studded Pro Turbo lineup at the Honeywell Garrett Jamboree.

There is a new great road trip in Australian drag racing. The season opening ‘northern swing’, taking in events at Darwin’s Hidden Valley Drag Strip and Alice Springs Inland Dragway, combines a fantastic adventure with two exciting events – Nitro Up North and the Desert Nationals.

The 2017 edition of Nitro Up North was a major success for Darwin’s Hidden Valley Drag Strip, attracting record crowds to the opening of the 400 Thunder and Summit Sportsman Series drag racing championships.

Racing in front of a track record crowd, Lucas Oil’s Gary Phillips claimed victory at Darwin’s Hidden Valley Drag Strip for the second consecutive year in his 1953 Studebaker Pro Slammer.

Springmount Raceway and Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Car management have regrettably decided to cancel the event that was due to be held on Saturday, August 5.
