It’s on again !! More smokin’, slidin’ action and more pad time at Heathcote Park !!

Australian Top Doorslammer competitor Sean Mifsud has always liked a car different from the rest.

Competition drag racing at Hidden Valley is set to take another leap in 2012 with a new Top Alcohol Funny Car being purchased by Territory based Top Doorslammer competitor, Scott MacLean.

With Modified and Junior Dragster taking a break from the Boxing Day event at Perth Motorplex, there was a very manageable 150 entries or so allowing for four qualifying sessions across most categories.

  Ballistic Drag Racing is pleased to welcome Powerplus Racing Fuels to our BB/CB competition bike outfit in 2012.

  Another massive event on the calendar has been announced and is set to draw a huge field of rodders from across Victoria and interstate. The Marsh Rodders always run a fantastic event, a highlight on Heathcote Park’s annual schedule.

Those familiar with the Heathcote Park Boxing Day Challenge will be pleased to hear that there is a brand new surface waiting to test the mettle of Victorian Drag Racers, with 420 feet of freshly laid concrete stretching out from the startline to offer superior traction and lightning quick launches.

In an example of just how tough Perth drag racing has become, Rob Pilkington missed making the final by mere hundredths of a second at the second round of the WA Top Comp championship.

Drag racing in north-western Victoria could get a boost depending on the results of a business plan from Swan Hill Rural City Council.

In the last 12 months, there have been a number of significant changes taking place to the drag racing landscape in Australia, not the least being the restructure of ANDRA Ltd board, which we support.
