Final preparations are in full swing for the 2012 Nitro Champs and behind the scenes at Sydney Dragway a “show environment” is being created to add some fun family aspects to the thrilling nitro battles on the track.

The event is scheduled to include a diverse range of support attractions including kids rides, dodgem cars, jumping castles, face painters, clowns, arcade games, the Shannon’s Show and Shine, monster truck rides, drag boat and sprint car displays, the CUB Bar, traders – and even the Australian Defence Force will be at the track performing exhibition burnouts.

Sydney Dragway acting general manager Rick Gauci said families will enjoy the new feel of the event.

“We are confident that taking this direction will deliver a new and exciting look to the Nitro Champs at Sydney Dragway – and with a six-figure advertising campaign now ramping up, we’re excited that the new-look 2012 Nitro Champs will be a great start to building this event into a must-see calendar event for years to come.

“The impressive entry list – including the “best of the best” – will top off the wow factor for the Nitro Champs and this strong support from the racers is very much appreciated by Sydney Dragway.”

Management has also created a Chairman’s Lounge within the top floor of the control tower to help introduce corporate Australia to the number one drag racing facility in Australia. Enquiries regarding the Chairman’s Lounge should be made direct to Sydney Dragway.
