Following heavy winds in the Mildura (VIC) region today, qualifying for the Sunset Strip Nationals has been suspended ahead of a resumption tomorrow (Sunday 24 September).

The decision comes as Mildura and its surrounding areas are battered by heavy winds, with the gusts causing dust to be continously blown onto the track to create unsafe conditions for racing. 

Sydney brothers Jackson and Samuel Perri will lead the Summit Racing Equipment Junior Dragster Championship field to Mildura this weekend as the title chase’s third round gets underway with the Sunset Strip Nationals this Saturday and Sunday (September 23/24).

After facing off against each other in the finals at round two (Alice Spring’s Desert Nationals), 15-year-old Jackson currently leads his 13-year-old brother on the points standings by just 10 points.

Ahead of this weekend’s round three of the Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series at Mildura’s Sunset Strip, performance parts leader PROFLOW has thrown its support behind back-to-back Australian Top Sportsman Championship winner, Jason Stares.

The Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) are pleased to announce DENSO (Australia) have signed up with a partnership for Super Street at all Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Championship rounds.

The winner of Super Street at Summit Racing Series events will, on top of the normal merchandise pack and vouchers they receive from summit, receive a voucher for a set of spark plugs from DENSO.

Is Johnny Kapiris Australia’s greatest Super Sedan sportsman racer? If you look at his results you would have to agree. Four-straight ANDRA championship titles from 2013 to 2016 is an impressive streak in anyone’s eyes.

It’s been a while since we have seen the Supercharged Outlaw dragster of Victorian Ryan Van Dyk. His last appearance was the 2017 Australian Nationals at Calder Park, and now he’s back for some more excitement in his first points round of the 2017/18 Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series.

Mark Hunt is certainly one of the real characters in our sport. He’s a big man and can look quite intimidating, he drives a bright yellow Supercharged Outlaw Ford Customine, and his passion for drag racing is 110 percent.

In the early years of drag racing, it was common to see car clubs and mates get together and pool their resources to go racing. Times may have changed today, however for Queensland mates Savos Pandelakis and Shane Turley, they have partnered up to go racing just like the pioneers did in the 1960’s.

One of the most prized trophies in Australian championship drag racing has always been the ANDRA Christmas Tree trophy. Sometimes referred to as the holy grail, its the one everyone wants to show off to family and friends.

North Queensland racer Adrian Sach is itching to go racing at this weekend’s round of the Summit Racing Queensland Championship. It will also see the return of the cult Suzuki Hatch, known as “4 Sum Fun”, for the first time at Benaraby Raceway in some 20 years!
