A New Year Message From Our CEO

From the team at ANDRA, Happy New Year to all.

It was great to see the Aeroflow Outlaw Nitro Funny Cars pack the house at Perth Motorplex with the event generating a positive vibe amongst the racers and fans. Congratulations to all involved on its success.

We have started the year with a busy early schedule in preparation for a number of events including Portland's South Coast 660 Summit Racing Equipment Sportsman Series and Calder Park's 51st Australian Nationals before we go back-to-back with two national events in Perth.

We wish everyone a great 2017.

ANDRA CEO -
Grant Goodall

 Technical Update

Our first update for 2017 has been uploaded on http://www.andra.com.au/technical/policies.html 

The 25 page PDF is titled "Removable Roll Cage Specification V2.01" and was published online January 12th.

I am working with CAMS to test and homologate roll cage joints to FIA specifications. This will allow fabricators/car owners a greater range of tested roll cage joints. The latest joint to be allowed by ANDRA is the CAMS J-50 joint pictured.



This joint is now allowed in ANDRA roll cages, but only to join a removable Side Intrusion Bar to a Forward Support and/or Main Hoop leg.

Along with removable roll cage registration ANDRA will be introducing a Chassis Identification system this year.

Kind regards

Dicken Patterson

Technical Officer
