Lisa Gregorini has continued her strong year in the Australian Top Doorslammer Championship following a runner-up result at the Nitro Champs.

Two huge crowds totalling over 23,000 people and the now beautiful almost predictable unpredictability of Slammer racing saw the sixth round of the NDRC Australian Top Doorslammer rock the proverbial house at the Gulf Western Oil Nitro Champs over the weekend.

Fabietti Racing and Ronnie Palumbo, driver of the ACDelco Top Doorslamer Monaro, have announced they mutually agree to part ways and go in their separate directions effective after the conclusion of the Winternationals in June.

More than 23,000 drag racing fans flocked to what has been Sydney’s biggest drag racing show in years at the weekend for the National Drag Racing Championship’s Gulf Western Oil Nitro Champs.

For a sport based rigidly on the principle of straight lines, the NDRC Australian Top Doorslammer Championship sure does have some twists and turns.

The highs and lows of drag racing are being experienced in full force by Scratch & Match Motorsport right now, with the Riverbend Nationals at The Bend Motorsports Park delivering another rollercoaster of emotions for the team.

By his own admission Canberra Doorslammer racer Jeremy Callaghan was looking at buying a boat on his way back from his ill-fated trip to the Westernationals last month. After rolling his immaculate Moits Motorsport 70.5 Camaro in his first battle on race day at the Motorplex and having had mechanical dramas at his first appearance at the Spring Nationals at The Bend “JC” was understandably disheartened.

After a dramatic crash just four weeks ago, Jeremy Callaghan returned to the National Drag Racing Championship (NDRC) in stunning style at the weekend —claiming his first-ever Gold NDRC Christmas Tree with an A-Final win during round five of the NDRC Top Doorslammer championship chase at the Riverbend Nationals.

The Riverbend Nationals have delivered another fantastic NDRC show to the delight of a packed crowd at Dragway at The Bend, culminating in dramatic finals action last Sunday afternoon.

History has been made at the Riverbend Nationals with the packed Dragway at The Bend crowd witnessing the quickest and fastest ever Top Fuel pass in Australian history during qualifying today ahead of Sunday’s racing for the National Drag Racing Championship (NDRC).
