The return of one of Sydney Dragway’s foundation events, the East Coast Nationals, has been confirmed as a part of the newly formed Australian Professional Drag Racing Series and will not only see more than 300 competitors on the track, it will also feature a massive array of family entertainment for the iconic western-Sydney venue.

 

Sydney Dragway General Manager, Peter Beaumont explained “It’s great that we have the new series and details sorted for our racers and the drag racing community but our Sydney Dragway team has been working hard behind the scenes to make this event something special, in addition to the racing for our fans and spectators.

 

“The event will feature the Shannons Show ‘n’ Shine, a huge collection kid’s rides and amusements, trader and promotional stands, face painting, clowns and a whole lot more.

“Our Sydney Dragway events will more and more, be a carnival that features drag racing as the main course – but for us – it’s about providing entertainment for the entire family when they come to our race track,” smiled Mr Beaumont.

 

The East Coast Nationals, at Sydney Dragway has previously been the start of the Australian drag racing season and after two rounds in Darwin, it will be the first major round of the 2015/2016, featuring all of the six professional categories.

 

Mr Beaumont explained, “Top Fuel has a spiritual home in Sydney and we are glad to have the nitro dragsters back. Along with Top Doorslammer, Top Alcohol, Pro Stock, Top Fuel Motorcycle as well as Pro Stock Motorcycle, the pits will be once again full of the best race cars and bikes in the country.”

 

The event is predicted to attract more than 300 race teams around Australia, as teams chase championship points for the new series.

 

Mr Beaumont also added “The 2015 ANDRA Championship Dinner has been rescheduled for Monday November 9 following the East Coast Nationals at Sydney Dragway on November 7-8, so it’s great chance to unwind and congratulate peers and friends as the 2015 champions of Australia.”
