The number of injected nitro cars in Australia is beginning to grow with another pop-burning ride being started for the first time out in Western Australia.

Australian Pro Stock racer Jason Grima sought a new test of his drag racing mettle last year, shipping his 2007 Ford Mustang across the Pacific to compete in NHRA’s Competition Eliminator.

Kevin Gummow will have a new nitro Top Fuel Motorcycle on track next Saturday at Perth Motorplex, following the unveiling of his Triumph-powered ride to family and friends last weekend.

John Zappia had the odds stacked against him coming into the 49th annual Westernationals at Perth Motorplex, with a huge rebuild needed following his excursion into the braking area sand trap at the last event.

PremiAir Hire Racing put on a great Top Fuel show as part of the Perth Motorplex’s 49th annual Westernationals at the weekend, completing six match races with Lamattina Top Fuel Racing to the delight of fans, resetting the track ET record and temporarily setting the national ANDRA 1000ft Top Fuel speed record.

Queensland’s Controlled Insanity team are hoping to soon have their injected nitro combination running as part of the QDRC Outlaws at Willowbank Raceway – that’s right, nitro bracket racing!

Travis Anderson has made the step up to the newest category in the 400 Thunder Sportsman Series – Extreme Bike.

PremiAir Hire Racing will travel 8,000 kilometres (round trip) for 24 seconds of racing over the next two weeks, and they couldn’t be happier about it.

When the 49th annual Westernationals hits the Perth Motorplex later this month (29 February – 1 March), it will feature not only the latest round of the 2019/2020 Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series, but also the WA Top Doorslammer Challenge as well as Top Fuel Motorcycle and Top Fuel action.
