(Sydney, NSW) The Western Sydney International Dragway is delighted to announce that NHRA Superstars 'Aussie' Dave Grubnic and Scott Kalitta will make a welcomed encore return at the 2nd Annual USA Boxing Day Nitro Thunder Top Fuel event at We stern Sydney Dragway, commencing on Boxing Day over two brutal days!
"The interest via teams from the NHRA this year was amazing and I can confidently say we will continue to develop this event in the near future and plans are already in place to make next year's Boxing Day event even bigger than this one will be," grinned WSID CEO Jim Read. "However, I was keen to bring Grubnic and Kalitta back, as they believe they can impress even more this year now they have some data on our track and know in greater detail the logistics and weather conditions presented here too."
The mere fact the NHRA Superstars are confident of even greater performances this year, after both drivers made it to the final at least year's inaugural event, certainly sends tingles down the spine!
Last season had it all with peddle jobs all the way down the quarter mile, 4-second passes in 100 degrees Fahrenheit heat and Grubnic scorching 4.6 second passes to boot!
The added bonu s of the BIGGEST Nitro field you will see this summer Down Under makes it an event simply too good to miss.
David Grubnic has had another strong season in the NHRA PowerADE Top Fuel Championship, claiming a round win early in the season at Gainesville, Florida.
Grubnic - like his Top Fuel team mate Doug Kalitta, is regarded as one of the finest 'peddlers' of a Top Fuel Dragster in the world, in other words an amazing ability to recover a car from hazing the tyres or tyre shake, to produce a strong pass regardless!
Aussie Dave also finished runner-up last season at WSID for the Boxing Day event and is determined to go one better this time around!
The return of Scott Kalitta in an 8,000 horsepower Top Fuel Dragster will certainly turn heads in Drag Racing the world over.
The past season has seen the Floridian based multi-NHRA event winner return to the ultra-demanding Nitro Funny Car class, where a slow and tough start has seen Kalitta now st art to really hit his straps late in the season, knocking over Championship contender Ron Capps on more than one occasion in recent weeks!
However, Scott Kalitta has always been awesome in a Top Fuel Dragster and he has no doubt he can hit his marks quickly come December 26 and 27 in Sydney!
