For anyone interested we have a big race on this weekend in Sydney. Its the second last race for the season and all the pro classes are running which is TF Top Bike Doorslammer (pro mod) alky PS and pro bike.
In top fuel the points are pretty close with 4 drivers within 3 rounds of each other and Cory Mac is racing. Also the return of Phil Read with Bruce Read calling the shots after doing a stint as car chief on Alexis funny car last season. Also Andrew Cowin is not only driving but also calling the shots on the Cowin dragster. Looking at the forecast the air should be killer and if the track retains some heat on Sat nite a low .60 or even a high .50 is on the cards. We race the full 1/4 here.
The last time the doorslammers hit the track it was our first all 5 second field (8 cars) and I cant see any reason why this wont happen again.
All the talk in Top Bike is will we see our first 5? Chris Matheson is knocking on the door but has had trouble with the way the bike handles in the breaking area but says he is on top of it now. He has never run a pass all the way but if he does it will run a mid to high .90.
Pro stock has the added interest that the first 6 under racing conditions is so close (400ci here) and this will probably be the weekend for it. There are at least 4 cars knocking on the door so it may be a case of who lines up first.
We also have a name some of you will know racing, Brandon Huhtala (NHRA sportsman racer) will be racing in super stock.
If you guys are interested in what goes down I can keep you informed just let me know. If not I will crawl back into my hole.
Cheers
