New Copper ANDRA Championship Trophy
One of the most prized trophies in Australian championship drag racing has always been the ANDRA Christmas Tree trophy. Sometimes referred to as the holy grail, its the one everyone wants to show off to family and friends.
Welcome to the newest edition to the championship lineup - the copper ANDRA Christmas Tree. Following the announcement in June of the 2017 Summit Racing Queensland Championship series, ANDRA approved the addition of the copper trophy for all class winners.
The tri-series launched with Rd 1 at Palymra Raceway back in July and this Saturday, September 2nd see's Rd 2 hit Beneraby Raceway. The Grand Final of the Summit Racing Queensland Championship will be held at Ironbark Raceway on November 4th.
"When we were putting together the concept for the Summit Racing Queensland Championship we wanted to come up with something unique which initially was to be a half scale silver Christmas tree trophy, said ANDRA Acting GM Brett Stevens. "But after some more thoughts, we agreed on a full-size trophy in copper. We are hoping that it will stimulate some interest from not only local Queensland racers but also some interstate racers who want to add a copper tree to their display cabinet.

Welcome To Our New ANDRA Technical Officer
Say hello to ANDRA's new Technical Officer Scott Halfyard.
"Hi everyone my name is Scott Halfyard, your newly appointed ANDRA Technical Officer. I just started on Monday 28th August so please be a wee bit patient with me as I come up to speed.
Based in the Adelaide office alongside Brett & the other ANDRA folks, I’ll be absorbing their wealth of knowledge and taking on board plenty of their advice over the next few weeks and months to come.
My background has some Metallurgy with NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) involvement. I have also worked in Precision Farming as well as for Shannons, so I’m anticipating elements from each of those roles will allow me to pick up the Technical Officer role and run with it.
Going forward over the next few weeks I’ll be posting up some information so please feel free to message the
ANDRA Technical Facepage if you have any direct questions for us.
I’m really looking forward to getting involved and hopefully seeing some of you out at events soon.
Regards, Scott
