Nitro show thunders into Benaraby

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.

Begley to make Top Fuel debut

Western Australia will have three representatives competing in Top Fuel at the Winternationals in just over two weeks with Anthony Begley set to drive in drag racing’s premier category for the first time. Begley is no stranger to nitro power, having raced Funny Cars for several years for Queensland team owner Rod Bailey and more recently as part of drag racing legend Graeme Cowin’s Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Car Series. Begley said the decision to get a dragster was part of working with Bailey to get more lap time and the chassis formerly belonged to Damien Harris and Paul Shackleton, who took it to within just two points of the national championship back in 2012. “Rod (and the team) have been working around the clock trying to get the car ready,” he said. “We got the car complete less motor and clutch.” Begley is looking forward to getting his first runs in the car at the Winternationals, held at Willowbank Raceway. “I’m going to Benaraby, Queensland this weekend to drive Graeme Cowin’s new Funny Car ‘Stormtrooper’, then back to Perth, and the following weekend I will go over to Queensland again for some performance testing at the Winternationals warm up,” he said. “Then we head to the Winternationals where we hopefully will be competitive.” {fcomment}
