With just four days to go until the Aeroflow Sportsman Drag Racing Championship kicks off, Jason Maggs and his team are still working tirelessly to get his wild Corvette ready for battle

Aeroflow Performance Products and the Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) are proud to announce that Aeroflow will be the new naming rights sponsor for the ANDRA Sportsman Drag Racing Series.

Formerly known as the Rocket Allstars Racing Series, the series will now be known as the Aeroflow Sportsman Drag Racing Championship.

The partnership with Rocket paid out some $300,000 to racers over six seasons and Aeroflow Performance Products managing director Graeme Cowin said he was thrilled about the announcement for the new branding of the series.

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.

Pac Performance have unveiled their latest attempt to take back the world Mazda rotary record with the launch of their Mazda 6 SP.

Unveiled today at a ceremony held at Sydney Dragway, the Pac Performance Mazda 6 SP replaces both the recently retired and long-serving MX6 drag car and the team's previous Mazda 6 that was badly damaged in an accident just over a year ago.

ANDRA’s Best Engineered Vehicle Award is a prestigious honour for Australian built drag racing vehicles.

The winner at this year’s Fuchs Winternationals was Super Compact competitor Chris Tait in his Toyota-powered Nissan 200SX.

Greg and Kim Clayton had no plans for drag racing during 2012. It was decided to put their supercharged altered Competition car away in the workshop and concentrate on business and family life for the year.

That was until a long overdue catch up meeting with an old friend to talk business, cars, life and whatever else turned into a new look BB/Altered, carrying new components and new corporate backing from Qld Tyre & Retreading (QTR) and Bridgestone Select Salisbury.

Seattle-based drag racer Brandon Huhtala will be adding an international flavour to Sydney Dragway next weekend when he competes in the Super Stock division of the Rocket Allstars Racing Series.

The Series brings together the best Australian talent in sportsman drag racing, but it is rare to see overseas drivers take part.

Australian Modified Bike Champion Daniel Sekli is quietly confident as he prepares to race in Modified Bike as part of the Rocket Allstars Racing Series at the Nitro Champs at Sydney Dragway.

Sekli’s first trip to Sydney saw a hiccup when the Queenslander’s Kawasaki ZX-10R suffered engine damage during a pre-race test but the loan of Rapid Bikes Magazine’s Yamaha XJR1300 allowed him to contest the meeting, even if it was at slightly slower pace than he’s used to.

After an engine rebuild by Powerhouse Dynotuning, Sekli took victory at the Willowbank round of the Rocket Allstars Racing Series in January aboard his own 1050cc Kawasaki.

Zachary Peirano was lucky to walk away unharmed from a 290kmh crash at Sydney Dragway over the weekend in his supercharged V8 dragster.

Peirano had just crossed the finish line and released his parachutes when some oil got underneath the tyres and sent his dragster on a wild ride. 

Victorian drivers Jason Maggs and Darren Parker are among the many teams from around the nation making the tow to Sydney Dragway this weekend in the search for Rocket Allstars Racing Series points.

Maggs will be bringing his supercharged Corvette to race in Competition while Parker looks to build on a runner up spot at the Westernationals with his Super Stock Pontiac.Maggs has recently signed a new major sponsor in Speedflow, but the lead in to the event hasn’t been all positive for the 29 year old racer.

Queensland local Steven Ham will be making the 12 hour journey to Sydney Dragway next weekend to compete in round five of the Rocket Allstars Racing Series.

Ham has a bunch of RARS points to his credit but plans on using the Sydney meeting as a testing ground for the East Coast Lubes/Mobil 1 Top Alcohol Funny Car.

Super Stock’s over subscribed field will ensure dramatic battles across both qualifying and eliminations at the Westernationals this weekend.

Back on track for the first time in a while is Steve Flynn, at the wheel of Frank Salvo’s Camaro.

Flynn is one of the stalwarts of Super Stock but is yet to add a Westernationals victory to his list of achievements despite reaching three finals in seven attempts.

Some national records could be set to fall in the Modified division this weekend in Perth at the running of the Rocket Allstars Racing Series at the Westernationals.

Rhett Cooper-Fowle and Ian Forrest have both been using six cylinder motors in preference to V8 combinations and are now eyeing off marks in the B/MA and B/MD classes respectively.

Victorian Darren Parker is readying to join a strong field of Super Stock competitors at the Westernationals at Perth Motorplex on March 3 and 4.

Parker has a successful past at Perth, having won in Super Sedan in 2007.

This time his Jerry Hass-built Pontiac GXP will be doing battle against 16 other teams, many of whom are capable of setting national records.
