The fractured Aussie drag racing scene will soon be united by a new national championship series.
The new series has been created by Andy Lopez and former Supercars TV boss, and long-time drag racing broadcast specialist, Nathan Prendergast, off the back of their success with the standalone Top Fuel Championship.
A live, free-to-air TV deal is in place, and will be announced in due course, with the calendar to run to an Eastern and Western conference format. "The statement, 'one way, forward' has become our mantra. We’ve taken the Burson Auto Parts Australian Top Fuel Championship to venues all over Australia, and that’s given us a good chance to listen to what racers and fans want. And racers and fans want a positive drag racing scene where racers fight for a single national title in their category.
Prendergast added:"Our unprecedented broadcast deal is a massive step forward and will give drag racing the exposure it deserves. It's a major achievement for the sport.
