Darren Morgan Racing goes into the third round of the ANDRA Pro Series Top Fuel Championship at the Perth Motorplex this weekend with a head of steam, ready to get it’s Championship campaign back on track – it also today launches a new website at www.darrenmorgan.com.au.
After being bundled out in the opening round of eliminations at the December Motorplex event, current Australian Top Fuel Champion, Morgan, hopes that data gained through that race event will help the team get the nitro-munching, 8,000 horsepower racer down the track in far better style come the Australia Day weekend bonanza.
“The previous round in Perth was a little disappointing for us, but I’m confident that we now have a baseline setup for the Motorplex that will get us down the track strongly. ” Morgan said
“Championship wise, it’s only early days, so at this stage we’re not too worried about where we sit. Getting past the first round is obviously a priority – plus trying to gain the additional points for low E.T. (elapsed time) and the fastest speed,” he continued
Returning in the familiar bright orange of AEG Powertools, Morgan currently sits fourth on the Championship points ladder and with an additional 50% bonus awarded to teams that made the trek to the Western capital, he will be aiming to make ground on current points leader, Sydney-sider, Andrew Cowin.
“The car that we are using was brand new before the season – so we have been learning with it as we go. Perth is a great racetrack and there’s always a huge fan-base that turn out to watch and really immerse themselves in the world’s fastest motorsport,” says Morgan
The Mildura Missile says he always enjoys racing in Perth – the multi-million dollar Perth Motorplex one of the best drag racing facilities in the world.
Further buoying the Morgan team is the launch of the team’s new website at www.darrenmorgan.com.au
“We’re also ecstatic to be launching our new website. The team has been working with Groovy Tube Digital Media on the site for some time. It is well designed and will give all of our fans the opportunity to keep right up to date with our activities – and we’ll be throwing in a few surprises along the way as well!”
Pioneered by Mildura-based marketing and graphic design agency, Groovy Tube Digital Media, the website will feature the latest news, pictures, sponsor promotions and an online store that will carry a full range of DMR merchandise – including the 2010/2011 Champion’s t-shirts.
The third round of the ANDRA Pro Series Top Fuel Championship will be conducted at the Perth Motorplex – January 27-28 – Anketell Rd, Kwinana Beach. Event Information is available from www.motorplex.com.au.
