It wasn’t only record setting on track performances at this year’s Garrett Sydney Jamboree, a massive crowd surely broke attendance records as well.
Round four of the Atura NSW Championship is the last before the series goes into a Winter break, giving teams a chance to regroup after a hectic few months and return in hopefully more favourable weather conditions after rain again affected another series event.
The tug-o-war for the Street GT-R world record has reached new levels in recent months with the Maatouks Racing’s ‘KING32’ and Croydon Racing Developments ‘JUNII’ trading the world record at almost every attempt.
Fitting a two day event into one day was always going to be a struggle, and with further delays due to fog, a late night finish was inevitable. While the wait was tough on Sportsman racers, with such a monster crowd in the house, the professional show had to take priority for the spectators.
Our final Nitro Thunder gallery from Sydney Dragway, all the action captured by the Cackling Pipes crew for this one.
Jeremy Callaghan made the perfect racing debut with his absolutely stunning twin turbo IHRA Pro Mod Camaro in a bracket that now has official professional championship status.
This Nitro Thunder gallery is brought to you by long time drag racing photographer John Bosher.

The last time Sam Fenech raced a Pro Slammer he won the event, and luckily survived one of the worst high-speed wrecks seen. Over two years later Fenech is back racing a Pro Slammer again, now for Maurice Fabietti’s AC Delco team and again finished the event holding up the Gold Christmas Tree fortunately without the extra drama.
With just two Top Fuel Motorcycles at the event it would be a dual between two potential five second quarter mile challengers.
