The 2014 NT Titles presented by 7Mate was a high for some but a sad weekend for others, with a mixture of personal bests and unfortunate crashes splattered across the two nights of racing at Hidden Valley Drag Strip.

Rick Gauci has taken his second Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Cars win, running as quick as 3.81 seconds on the eighth mile at Benaraby Raceway, Queensland. Gauci had three wins on the night, enough to hold out Portland winner Daniel Schultz who took second and Paul Messineo who finished third. Benaraby Raceway was packed to the brim with fans keen for the biggest ever nitro show to be held at the regional venue. Fans were treated not only to the new breed of nitro racers such as Nathan Peirano and Daniel Schultz but also a few legends of the past such as Harold Campbell and his ‘Insanity’ Funny Car. Starting his licensing procedures in the ‘Time Traveler’ was Zac Peirano, leaving father Peter very proud. We will bring you a more detailed wrap up soon, but here are some videos from the event that we have collected from around the interwebs. Above, a YouTube compilation from Aidan Duncan.

From the past three rounds of the ANDRA Top Fuel championship, West Australian fireman Allan Dobson has emerged victorious each time, seeing him in the box seat of the Top Fuel title chase as it heads to Willowbank Raceway’s Fuchs Winternationals (5-8 June).

Australian-born NHRA Top Fuel driver Richie Crampton and girlfriend Stephanie Laski have welcomed their first child into the world on Tuesday afternoon.

With 150 cars entered for round three of the Queensland Drag Racing Championship the sportsman racing on offer was tough and great value for the spectators that made it to this event.

Drag racing is on the most part a very safe sport and incidents are rare, which makes this match up from the recent APSA event at Sydney Dragway all the stranger as two turbocharged monsters end up in flames in the same race!

Willowbank Raceway and ANDRA are pleased to announce the introduction of a 16 car Top Doorslammer field for June’s FUCHS Winternationals (Thursday 5 June to Sunday 8 June).

The three day long APSA Pro Street testing marathon culminated in a epic day at Sydney Dragway.

Drag racing is my sport. It’s your sport. It’s our sport. I love this sport like a fat kid loves cake and these are the reasons why the golden age is not behind us, it’s still to come.

After spending years as a WA state championship bridesmaid, Roger Harris finally broke through for his first Modified Bike title this season at Perth Motorplex and has decided on a new challenge when the new season resumes later this year.

Testing continued today for those over-powered under-tyred APSA Pro Street cars ahead of this weekends shootout.
