PremiAir Racing is once again preparing for a double-header weekend, with the next round for both the Repco Supercars Championship and the Burson Auto Parts Australian Top Fuel Championship (ATFC) to be held at the one event in Darwin next month.
Team boss and Top Fuel driver Peter Xiberras is leading the ATFC field to the series’ finale in Darwin, courtesy of two runner-up results in the PremiAir Hire Top Fuel Dragster at Heathcote Park Raceway this weekend.
“It was a huge weekend at Heathcote for us, not only were we contesting round five of the championship, but we also had the round four final which was held over from our racing in Sydney two weeks ago,” Xiberras explained.
“Two race wins today – including one on a holeshot – saw us secure our spot in our second A-final of the weekend, in front of an absolutely packed crowd.
“When all was said and done, we walked away with two runners-up trophies and most importantly, the Burson Auto Parts Australian Top Fuel Championship lead with just one event left to run.
“We might not have taken the big trophy today but we advanced our championship position and that is what it is all about in the big scheme of things and already we are laser focused on making sure we can put together the best package possible in Darwin in a few weeks’ time so we can defend our Australian title.”
PremiAir Racing now heads to Darwin’s Hidden Valley Raceway for the Merlin Darwin Triple Crown, which will host both the latest round of the 2022 Repco Supercars Championship and the final round for the 2022 Burson Auto Parts Australian Top Fuel Championship across June 17-19.
