While a much awaited race between nitro Harley pacesetters Mark Drew and Damian Muscat did not eventuate in Perth on the weekend, fans may yet get to see Australia’s two quickest v-twins clash at the Westernationals.

John Zappia is continuing his charge towards a tenth ANDRA Top Doorslammer Championship on the back of a challenging but rewarding Goldenstates at Perth Motorplex.

Watch In Pit Lane’s interview with ANDRA CEO Grant Goodall, as they discuss ANDRA’s view on the current drag racing climate, the split, and what moves are in place to resolve the situation.

It may have taken them 38 years, but Aussie drag racing legend Graeme Cooper and his famous “Bricklayer” Holden station wagon have finally won the Australian Nationals.

After the epic final Top Doorslammer qualifier on Friday, today was all about going rounds. And rounds it was for the current ANDRA Champ John Zappia, fighting off some strong performances from the other teams.

For the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series, all the racers had two qualifying each day, giving them plenty of opportunity to improve, especially since Saturday was cooler after Friday’s heat.

The Goldenstates event name returned to Western Australia in 2017, with the 42nd running of the event seeing some awesome performances from the Top Doorslammers and plenty of tough times in the sportsman ranks too.

Doorslammer racer Owen Ducker was busy on the phone camera, check out some of the action from night one of the Goldenstates.

Yep while some watched Danny Green and Anthony Mundine bang each other in the head over 10 rounds, ANDRA Championship drag racing returned to Perth Motorplex with a bang of it’s own. The Goldenstates was back and with championship rounds for Top Doorslammer and Top Fuel Motorcycle. Anticipation was high to see who could run the numbers and who would win in conditions that were best described as hot and sticky.
