The 2012 JP Racing Eighth Mile Drag Racing Series is soon set to kick off throughout Queensland.
The third running of the popular regional racing series welcomes a new major sponsor in JP Racing, a new racing bracket and is expected to draw more than 100 entries to each of its four rounds.
Taking in Willowbank Raceway, Benaraby Dragway, Ironbark Dragway and Warwick Dragway, series organiser John Winterburn said the series had answered a need within the regional drag racing community.
“Eighth mile drag racing is a great thing – it is about racing, but it is also about camaraderie, and about having a go at tracks all around Queensland,” said Winterburn.
“When we started this series three years ago we were taken aback by the enthusiasm with which it was received, and since then it has grown from strength to strength.
“With JP Racing throwing their support behind us and the new category of FJ Loy and Sons Earthmoving Old School being introduced to replace the Classic bracket, I have a feeling the 2012 season is going to be the best yet!”
The 2012 JP Racing Eighth Mile Drag Racing Series will play host to Diamond T Products Junior Dragster, Queensland Nameplate Group Modified Bike, John Williams Auto Sales Super Street, Super Sedan, RD Williams Excavator Parts Modified and the new FJ Loy and Sons Earthmoving Old School bracket.
Kicking off at Willowbank Raceway on 21 April, the series will then head to Benaraby Dragway for round two on 21 July. Roma’s Ironbark Dragway will then step up to the plate on 25 August, before the final round gets going at Warwick Dragway on 10 November 2012.
