Newby tests replacement ride.

Following a crash in the final of the Pro Series 1000 at Adelaide just over two weeks ago in his JBS Tools dragster, Wayne Newby made the decision to bring a new car into action much earlier than planned.

The Funny Car performed testing and familiarisation runs at Sydney Dragway over the weekend and will enter competition for the first time this weekend at the Nitro Champs.

To hear Newby discuss how he went in the new car, make sure you watch Speed News Australia at 7.00pm EST tonight on Speed Channel.
