Yes that’s right the REAL Judgement Day is on at Sydney Dragway on Saturday the 21st September… Outlaw Nitro Funny Cars along with Pre 1978 Aussie and American muscle cars go head to head on the Drag Strip! Action gets under way at 10:00am til we take a short lunch break around midday while we sort out the competitors in readiness for the battle on the track … and then there will be plenty of time for some good old fashion grudge racing until we finish on the track at around 6:00pm. There will be a Show ‘n’ Shine section. If you have a cool ride and just want to show it off for the day you just pay the normal spectator admission at the gate. Then drive right in to the special Show ‘n’ Shine section up on the East Bank overlooking all of the action on track.

      Rising star Jess Turner could be on her way to a top ten finish in the Aeroflow Sportsman Drag Racing Championship in her first full season of Modified – and all before she has even finished high school.

Murray O’Connor has enjoyed one of his best seasons yet in the ANDRA Top Doorslammer series and he hopes his privateer outfit can continue to be a rival to bigger, more well-funded teams.
