The Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) is pleased to announce that the Shinko Motorcycle Tyres brand has signed up in support of Competition Bike racers as part of the ANDRA Racer Support Program.
As part of the 2025/2026 ANDRA Sportsman Series, Shinko Motorcycle Tyres is rewarding the winners and runners-up of Competition Bike with $100 and $50 vouchers respectively, redeemable at Australian retailer, Ballistic Performance Parts.
To qualify for the vouchers, racers must carry Racer Program support stickers (which will be supplied) on their bikes from the first round of qualifying at each event. The vouchers will be presented at the end-of-event presentations at each event and the recipient will have 12 months to use their voucher.
The first outing for this partnership is round three of the Series, the Sunset Nationals, being held this weekend at the Atlantic Oil Sunset Strip (September 20-21).
Shinko Motorcycle Tyres is imported into Australia by Bruce Collins Enterprises.
“We are proud to have this opportunity to support ANDRA drag racers,” Bruce Collins Enterprises’ Sales Marketing Manager, Jackson Collins, said.
“BCE and Shinko Tyres are all about Australian motorsport and motorcycle racing in particular, and a lot of competitors in Competition Bike already utilise the Shinko brand on their bikes.
“To be able to give back to the ANDRA racers in this way is something we are very happy to do, and we can’t wait to see how the Competition Bike championship chase as part of the 2025/2026 ANDRA Sportsman Series unfolds across the rest of the season.”
ANDRA Chief Executive Officer, Tim McAvaney, said he was very pleased to see the support of the ANDRA Racer Support Program continuing to grow.
“As a new program for 2025/2026, it has been so heartening to see an increasing number of companies wanting to line up and support our racers through the ANDRA Racer Support Program,” McAvaney said.
“Shinko Motorcycle Tyres is a quality brand, and through BCE and their retailer, Ballistic Performance Parts, are a valued product in the Australian motorcycle racing landscape.
“To have them on board is something we are very happy about and we can’t wait to work with them across the rest of the season.”
This new ANDRA Racer Support program sits alongside the existing ANDRA Contingency Program, and is another great way that companies can get behind ANDRA members.
Other participants of the ANDRA Racer Support Program include Ballistic Performance Parts (Modified Bike, Junior Drag Bike), Atlantic Oils (Super Sedan), Powerplus Racing Fuels (Supercharged Outlaws, Super Gas) and Speedflow Products (Supercharged Outlaws, Super Street).
