AFTER YEARS AWAY, ANDRA DRAG RACING IS COMING BACK TO SYDNEY DRAGWAY WITH THE ANDRA DRAG RACING MASTERS ON JANUARY 24

The clock is ticking, and Sydney Dragway is about to erupt: on January 24, 2026, the Australian National Drag Racing Association (ANDRA) racing makes a long-awaited return to Sydney Dragway with the inaugural ANDRA Drag Racing Masters – a one-day spectacular which promises speed, spectacle, more than $70,000 in cash and prizes, and the chance to claim prestigious ANDRA Christmas Trees.

In exciting news, ANDRA is able to now announce that the Doorslammer Masters will be joining the headlining Pro Mod Masters and Extreme Motorcycle Masters for a standalone event ahead of the beginning of their 2026 championship season later in the year.

“The ANDRA Drag Racing Masters just keeps getting bigger and bigger, which is fitting really as it marks the return of ANDRA competition at Sydney Dragway for the first time in years,” ANDRA Chief Executive Officer, Tim McAvaney, said.

“To have the Doorslammer Masters joining the Pro Mod Masters and Extreme Motorcycle Masters as headliners for January 24 alongside all the stars and cars of the 2025/2026 ANDRA Regional Sportsman Championship is something we are really proud of.”

Top Doorslammer Association Secretary, Lisa Gregorini, agreed with McAvaney’s sentiments, forecasting a truly unmissable event.

“2026 is shaping up to be a huge year for Top Doorslammer and we are so stoked to be getting the year off to a great start at Sydney Dragway with a standalone event at the ANDRA Drag Racing Masters before we head into a highly competitive NDRC season,” Gregorini said.

“Our last season was one for the books and we honestly believe we are on the precipice of one of the biggest years ever for the fastest blown sedans in the country, and we absolutely can’t wait.

“January 24 at Sydney Dragway is going to be epic, so get your entries in or buy your tickets and join us at the track, you won’t regret it.”

Doorslammer Masters, Pro Mod Masters, and Extreme Motorcycle Masters competitors will all be chasing cash purses which are expected to bring competitors from across the country.

The winner for both the Doorslammer Masters and the Pro Mod Masters will walk away with $10,000, while the winning drag bike gladiator of the Extreme Motorcycle Masters will pocket $3,000. With this cash and ANDRA Christmas Trees on the line, everyone will want to be the winner of this inaugural event.

At the same time, round seven of the 2025/2026 ANDRA Regional Sportsman Series is set to draw large numbers of local and interstate ANDRA-licenced competitors to Sydney for the first time in a number of years. ANDRA is pleased to confirm that up to $20,000 in cash prizes will be up for grabs for the sportsman racers.

Bonus points will be on offer for all sportsman racers, given no events are being held at the Perth Motorplex this season due to the upgrade works at that facility.

“The anticipation is palpable,” added McAvaney, who has been working on this return to Sydney Dragway throughout2025.

“After years away, ANDRA’s Sydney return is something we could not be more excited about, and as the clock continues to tick down to January 24, we are encouraging everyone to mark this date in your calendar and get your entries in.

“This is the start of a whole new era for ANDRA Drag Racing in Sydney, and you want to be a part of this one-day spectacular.”
