ANDRA Championship Drag Racing is set to explode in a brand new season, with the confirmation of an awesome 450 Drag Racing Teams confirmed for battle at the Fuchs Australian Nationals at Western Sydney Dragway, September 12-14!
Highlights abound in the entry lists, with some provisional late entries across most brackets, still to be confirmed.
TOP FUEL
Terry SAINTY (NSW)
TOTAL: 10
A double-digit entry list for the Nitro Rocketships ensures an incredible earth-shattering spectacle at the Fuchs Nationals. Bob Shepherd returns to the drivers seat for the ANDRA Championship opener, after vacating the seat for daughter Amanda last season.
Australian Champ Phil Read will be keen for a fast start to his title defence, over an imposing and impressive Top Fuel field.
TOP DOORSLAMMER
Ben BRAY (QLD)
Total: 21
It will be a case of gulping down those heart pills before taking in the spectacle of ANDRA Top Doorslammer at the Fuchs Nationals!
From top to bottom, there is incredible depth in this amazing Drag Racing category.
Surely the lineup of entries here is the LARGEST in ANDRA history. All vying for 8 spots in a motorsport formula that is as steep as any in the world today!
John Zappia has trifected the season opener and the newly crowned ANDRA Champ will be keen to do it again!
TOP ALCOHOL
Aaron HAMBRIDGE (NSW)
Total: 12
Surely the strongest field in the offing for ANDRA Top Alcohol as these supercharged stars in their cars are set to have at the 2008 Fuchs Nationals!
TOP BIKE
Michael GREGG (NSW)
Total: 14
With 14 'Fuel Scooters' entered, this is surely a record entry list for ANDRA Top Bike at the Fuchs Nationals.
The depth is terrific as well across the bracket, with a lot of new names and new equipment in tow. Many pundits are wondering if we will finally see an all 6-second field in qualifying from this exciting bracket.
PRO STOCK
Jason HEDGES (NSW)
Total: 13
ANDRA Pro Stock is Drag Racing precision and usually produces breathtaking racing. Anyone in this impressive field of entries in the category could claim the Fuchs Australian Nationals.
The Tremayne boys dominated the ANDRA series opener last season and will be keen to do so again in another red-hot tilt at the title.
PRO STOCK MOTORCYCLE
Jason LEE (SA)
Total: 4
Whilst the Pro Stock Motorcycle brigade re-emerges, there is no doubt that any single competitor in this category can claim the event win.
Of course, in addition to the ANDRA Professional categories, the Fuchs Australian Nationals also serves as the opening round of the Rocket Allstars Drag Racing Series for Sportsman racers.
Highlights come thick and fast, including:
SUPER COMPACT - 13 ENTRIES
This Class Index eliminator looks set to explode into a major fan favourite in it's own right.
Tony Wedlock comes into the event with good performances in the Toyota Racing Development (TRD) entry, against a hot field of rivals including George Rehayem and the PAC performance Rotary clan and Joe Signorelli's hot Celica beast!
