CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR
BEST PRESENTED WINNERS
ANDRA extends their congratulations to our recent
Best Presented Winners from the Nitro Up North,
Desert Nationals and Sunset Strip Nationals
events.
In July, Darwin racer Todd Knight had a big weekend
at Nitro Up North – top qualifying in ANDRA Top
Sportsman and recording Personal Best efforts
before Knight Racing was awarded as Best
Presented Car and Crew. One week later in Alice
Springs, it was Modified racer Kingsley Kuchel, his
‘Sweet Sensation’ front engine dragster and his
crew who were recognised. Both the Darwin and
Alice Springs awards were presented with thanks
to YBI Creative and Summit Racing Equipment.
In September, Mildura’s Sunset Strip Nationals
saw Super Comp competitor Robert Dekert, his
Pontiac GXP and his team recognised, with the
Sunraysia Drag Racing Association and Summit
Racing supporting the award at this event.
The Best Presented Award winners are chosen
on the basis of the presentation of vehicle and
its crew, taking into account the whole package
including vehicle, bike, crew, apparel and so forth.
WA JUNIOR DRAGSTER SUSPENSION
In a statement released on Monday, 13 November, the Department
of the Premier and Cabinet of the West Australian government
announced it would suspend junior drag racing at Perth Motorplex
until the outcome of the current investigation is known.
ANDRA is continuing to work with the West Australian government
and VenuesWest to resolve the issues and will provide further
information as it becomes available.
In their statement, the department said: “Junior competition drag
racing…will be suspended at Perth Motorplex until the investigation
is complete.
“The suspension of this category of motorsport activity allows for a
full investigation to be carried out into the nature of the accident.
“The State Government will wait until the details of the accident are
clear following the investigation before taking any further action.”
ANDRA will update members on this situation as information
becomes available.
