The Top Doorslammer final at the 2012 Fuchs Winternationals has been declared a non-result following investigation by a Queensland appeals tribunal.

Some important findings were made in regards to the way the race was handled and recommendations given to ensure that in similar circumstances in the future the situation is improved.

Fowler Family Racing went back to back as Super Sedan champions in the Rocket Allstars Racing Series this season, earning the coveted gold Christmas tree and putting the cap on another season from one of Australia drag racing’s most well-travelled teams.

Mal Bulley has been announced as the new CEO of the Australian National Drag Racing Association following a month long search.

Among a group of high calibre candidates, Mr Bulley stood out due to his experience with drag racing in Australia as well as across wider motorsport venue management.

Mr Bulley’s previous role was as general manager of the WA Sporting Car Club and Barbagallo Raceway, a circuit track in Western Australia that hosts V8 Supercars as well as many other motorsport events.

Mr Bulley was a project consultant for ANDRA from 2010 to 2011 as it shifted from an incorporated association to a national company limited by guarantee.

Team Bray will be putting drag racing front and centre at this weekend’s V8 Supercar event in the north Queensland city with burnout displays and their Top Doorslammers on display.

The Sidchrome Burnout cars including Victor Bray’s 1957 Chev and Ben Bray’s new look Holden SS ute will both be doing doughnuts around the tight street circuit.

Jason Hedges has surprised ANDRA Pro Stock fans with the announcement that he will be taking a break from racing next season in his Decoglaze Pontiac.

Hedges has been one of the form runners in Pro Stock this season, finishing third in the 2010/11 series and sixth in this season, which has reached new levels of competitiveness.

The 2012/2013 season will go down as a landmark season both on and off the dragstrip for Brisbane based racer Steve Ham.

In only his third championship campaign with the Mobil 1 Funny Car in the fiercely contested ANDRA Top Alcohol category, Ham’s season was punctuated by his first event win at the Nitro Champs in Sydney and gladly interrupted by the safe arrival of his first daughter.

The quickest run in Top Doorslammer history and a fifth straight title was John Zappia’s reward at the conclusion of the Fuchs Winternationals at Willowbank Raceway as the rest of the field wonders what they need to do to keep up with the iconic HQ Monaro.
