Rapisarda Autosport International star Wayne Newby will be chasing his first win at Willowbank Raceway in Top Fuel at the New Year Thunder meeting on Saturday January 7.

Willowbank Raceway is currently hosting the latest grudge racing series headlined by American Drag Week superstar Larry Larson who has transported his now legendary Nova and S-10 truck down under for a four event program.

Never mind just calmly spinning out his iconic S10 after a chute malfunction on one of the more daunting drag strip braking areas around, it was a kangaroo that grabbed Larry Larson’s attention.

  After a labor intensive build, Mick Mahoney and Phil Read have finally hit the track with their stunning Supercharged Outlaw Mustang at the recent ANDRA Summer Nationals at Adelaide International Raceway.

Instead of trying to complete the impossible task of picking our best photos from 2016, I decided to choose photo highlights from events in my travels this season.

Construction has begun on the eagerly awaited new motorsport complex at Tailem Bend – now named The Bend. A video has been produced showing off the the initial earthworks after the South Australian Premier recently attended the ground breaking ceremony.
