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).

The last time Hydraulink Jim Read Racing raced at Dragway at The Bend, it was a dominating performance which saw the team win every match-up to take out the event victory after having also top qualified and running the quickest Top Fuel pass ever set in Australia (3.72 seconds at 522.62kph).

After nearly eight months out of the seat of his 11,000hp, 500+kph Top Fuel Dragster, Phil Lamattina made his much-anticipated return to Top Fuel at the 54th annual Westernationals – round three of the NDRC Top Fuel Championship chase.

The Lamattina Top Fuel Racing (LTFR) team made their return at the 54th Westernationals at Perth Motorplex, delivering awesome performances and gaining valuable data as they battled some of the best in the sport.

A side by side three second, full candles blazing C-Final victory that had the crowd on its feet has highlighted a character building weekend for Hydraulink Jim Read Racing at the Perth Motorplex at the weekend.

Two thrilling days and nights of National Drag Racing Championship (NDRC) action have wrapped up in spectacular fashion at the 54th annual Westernationals, lighting up a packed Perth Motorplex well into Sunday evening.

A full day and night of incredible drag racing performances in front of a packed house have set the stage for what is set to be an epic Westernationals race day at the Perth Motorplex (Sunday 2 March).

The NDRC New Year Nitro event at Willowbank Raceway proved to be an oppressive start for Top Fuel and Nitro Funny Car in 2025 with hellish weather condition forced upon the teams doing battle at round two of their respective NDRC Australian Championships.

Kyle Putland and his fellow Top Fuel pilots will bring a 66,000hp nitro-burning show to the Perth Motorplex this weekend, with round 3 of the NDRC Top Fuel Championship to headline the 54th annual Westernationals across March 1 and 2.
