05 SEP 2011 - Racers flock to Pre Nationals Test n Tune
With just one week to go before the Fuchs Australian Nationals around 150 racers were keen to get some track time in and make last minute adjustments ahead of the Big race this weekend.
There was a good mix from most of the Brackets that will be competiting next weekend and with many Personal Bests achieved therre were a lot of happy faces in the pit area at the end of the day.
![]() The PAC Boys brought the old MX6 out and George Rehayem blasted it down the track with a very impressive 6.625 @ 208.20 mph!!! The national records for BB/SC are 6.983 @ 180.09!!! |
![]() Phil Read debuted the new Jim Read Racing Top Fuel Dragster and finished the day with a planned 100ft shut of which still went the traps with a 4.822 at only 260.51 mph! |
![]() Paul McLinden's 8 second Altered found plenty of traction on the Sydney Dragway start line and had a typical wild altered ride on his hands! |
![]() Matt Gilden's Hayabusa is a handful and a half - check out Madman Productions video highlights and you will see what I mean! There is a link at the end of this report. |
![]() Frank Mamone is always good for something spectaular and as usual he didn't disappoint!!! |
![]() Joe Somma that he would grab a bit of that action too ... man I love this car!!! |
![]() Ali Rayan has got 540 cubes of Turbo charged Big Block Chev under that scoop and 7.606 at 179.59 mph on the weekend! |
![]() And yes there were more wheelstands that you could poke a stick at and Aleksander Ninovic's 9 second Capri is always up to the task! |
![]() Alex Cirtoski got his Skyline into the sevens with 7.901 @180.86 and then in one of the last passes of the day went 7.853!!! |
![]() The Cowin Family had their trick '57 Chev Nostalgia Funny Car out for a bit of testing and ran 5.945 @ 233.64 mph ... always great to see this car on the track. |
![]() Speaking of Families the Blake family brought out their immaculate Blown FED for some shake down runs. |
![]() And as is the case at Test n Tunes you never know what is going to roll under the tunnel next and Terry Sainty light up the evening sky as only a Nitro Burning Dragster can! |
| So there you have yet another action packed day of Drag Racing action at Sydney Dragway ... Remember next weekend is the 2011 Fuchs Australian Nationals with over 300 teams going head to head at the start of the 2011-2012 Championship Season. |
