Richie Crampton and Rapisarda Autosport International reached the second round while newly crowned NHRA Top Alcohol Funny Car Champion Steve Harker claimed his fifth National event win in row.

Eden Ward completed a sensational double at the Australian Nationals by winning the event and taking home the 60foot Rising Star Award for the event.

Rapisarda Autosport International have yet to confirm plans to unleash Gus Ussia- Presley at the final round of the 2014 Mello Yello NHRA season at Pomona this weekend.

“Gus/Elvis” became a cult figure in the world of drag racing after making his push back debut on the Allan Dobson car at the Australian Nationals earlier this month. 

“The plan to channel Elvis has been at the back of my mind for sometime and our team owner Santo was happy for me to unleash my inner Elvis,” explained Ussia. 

“My favorite fabrics are cashmere, alpaca and silk but after wearing the Elvis suit in Sydney I have added polyester to the list. It clings to your body and when it gets hot it feels like a second skin.”

Brisbane’s Steven Ham has done the seemingly impossible by catching and passing sixteen time Top Alcohol champion Gary Phillips in the ANDRA Top Alcohol points chase to claim his maiden national title.

Ham had a “mathematical chance” of winning the title going in to the Australian Nationals at Sydney Dragway which doubled as the final round of the championship, but never seriously considered he would be a risk to Phillips in reality.

“Often the commentators will use the term 'mathematical chance of winning' when it comes to a final round, but most of the time it’s just to beef up the entertainment, because for us to win the title meant that Gary wouldn’t make it past the first round of the event and we would have to win it outright. Let’s face it, the chances of Gary in the quickest and fastest car in the nation not making the field are pretty low, but when he didn’t qualify we were suddenly faced with the reality that we had a shot at the title!” he said retelling the journey of a landmark weekend.

“Sitting back, it is still hard to believe that we got this. There were so many hurdles to overcome, and there was a lot of luck that came our way. I think our luck started with Gary’s DNQ, the 000 light and then the first or worst in the final, they say things come in threes."

With the release of the ANDRA Championship Drag Racing calendar for the next 18 months, Willowbank Raceway has confirmed a new format for its popular Santo’s Super 3 Extreme Drag Race Event presented by Uplift Cranes and Titan Cranes, which is held annually at Easter.
