Eden Ward completed a sensational double at the Australian Nationals by winning the event and taking home the 60foot Rising Star Award for the event.
Ward defeated his sister Maella in the final by registering a 0.015 reaction time on his way to a 7.964 ET on a 7.96 dial.
That was good enough for a total package of 0.019, good enough to take home the final 60foot Rising Star Award of the season.
“It feels pretty good (to win the Australian Nationals), it’s what I’ve dreamed about,” he said.
“The car has been running consistent and every run that I did was in the .0 lights.”
Younger sister Maella added, “It’s great to know both of us were in the final and obviously one of us is going to win and Eden is older so I’m happy that he won.”
The 60foot Rising Star Award recognises the Junior Dragster racer who has the best reaction time and dial in package at each round of the Aeroflow Sportsman Drag Racing Championship.
The winners of the 60foot Rising Star Award receive an exclusive 60foot Rising Star-branded clothing pack to the value of $300 including a large sports/race bag, cap, hoodie, t-shirt, sticker pack, can cooler and medallion.
