The hottest place for motorsport fans to be this Boxing Day is the Western Sydney International Dragway as it hosts Round 3 of the National Top Fuel Championship and Round 4 of the National Top Alcohol Championship on December 26 and 27.

"My last visit to the Western Sydney International Dragway was the highlight of my racing career when I took my Nulon Dragster to victory at the season opener, the East Coast Nationals," Debbie Reed said.
"With that result I have been able to build myself into a position where I am towards the top end of the National Championship points table and I will be doing everything I can to keep myself there."
"Since the last round in Perth we have had both of our cars engines totally rebuilt in preparation for the Boxing Day event, so that should help with our campaign in Sydney."
Steven Reed has also revealed that one of the most recognised cars in the Top Alcohol bracket, his Oldsmobile Cutlass which he has successfully raced for 12 years, will be making way for a new state of the art 2002 Camaro Funny Car next year.
The Reed Racing team has taken delivery of the US spec race car but are still in the process of setting it up for racing in Australia so won't be debuting it until 2007.
"If everything goes to plan this will be the last time the Sydney fans will see me driving my Oldsmobile Cutlass Funny Car before it makes way for my new Camaro Funny Car, which we are hoping to unveil in February prior to the Summernationals," Steven Reed said.
"But my current car hasn't been retired yet and there is still the job to do of going well on Boxing Day in Sydney and also Willowbank Raceway in January."
"With a best time of 5.6 seconds at over 400 kph the Cutlass still has it what it takes to win in Top Alcohol, which has become one of the most competitive and popular brackets in the National Drag Racing Championship."
As well as the edge-of-the-seat Top Alcohol racing, the Boxing Day Drag Racing event will also feature the 'USA Versus Australian Top Fuel Showdown' with the ever-popular 7000 horsepower Top Fuel Dragsters, giving fans of aw horsepower the ultimate way to send off 2006.
